MEET THE TEAM
WCS was one of the first agencies in the state of Florida to focus solely on providing workers’ compensation solutions for employers. Through our decades of serving the business community, WCS has found that the magnitude of insurance policies are not being managed properly in today’s marketplace. As a result, we have expanded our services to all commercial lines of insurance and developed a risk assessment strategy in order to identify and mitigate potential threats in your workplace to protect your organization’s wealth and reputation. Today, WCS partners with businesses across the United States in providing insurance solutions, consulting, and premium recovery.
