How can an illegal get worker's compensation?
Answer:
It depends what State you're in. In California, it does not matter if you are an illegal alien or if you used a social security # that didnt belong to you. You need to inform your employer that you suffered an on the job injury immediately. Your employer should provide you with a "Employee Claim for Workers' Compensation Benefits" immediately and send you to a doctor. Your employer is responsible for the medical costs. You may say you cant work, but it all depends on what the employer doctor says. And if you decide to sue the homeowner, you would have to file a "civil lawsuit" not a workers' comp. claim.
Go back to Mexico and file there.
The reason you have a job at all is most likely because you are illegal and it saves your employer from having workmans comp on you. You sue your employer .not the homeowner. If you are doing the job on your own.tough cookies.
Why don't you call the immigration office and tell them where you are? Or better yet call me and I'll take you to get medical care. (Sure I will).
If you were working for a private employer, (some guy's house), you may not qualify. He would have to have paid into the workers compensation system.
To sue him, you would need to establish that you and he had a work contract which provided for workers compensation coverage for you. Most independent contracts don't provide this coverage.
See your doctor for the leg.
Good luck.
if you are an illegal.. you cannot sue or collect unemployment
you can get workers comp even if you are illegal. all you have to do is first register at immigration and they will give you a case number. then take that to workers compensation. hope that works for you, get well soon i need my yard cleaned.
Yesterday you were posting all day so you weren't at work to begin with.
I guess school is out where you live.
You're kidding, right?
I don't think an illegal can get worker's compensation. Unless he has stolen somebody''s identity. That is the only was I think he or she could receive benfits. It happnes all the time though so I'm sure you will have no problems getting it.
ROFLOL!! You KNOW this is going to tick people off? :0)
If you had an employer, you could. But if you were an independent contractor at the time.. you should have paid for your WC yourself.
Too bad about your leg. Have it checked out. Does it mean you will have more time now to ask those crazy questions again.**
Apply for it. they are giving illegal's every thing alse"
I kept hearing about all those jobs Americans just won’t do. We’re never really told what they are, but I guess we should be happy they’re getting done and stop complaining about all the negative aspects of having twenty million illegal aliens in our midst.
Perhaps we should just accept the idea that 25 American citizens are going to continue to be killed every day by illegals -- half of them by drunk drivers -- because it’s a small price to pay to get all those jobs done.
We should get used to the idea that nearly four million children of illegals are filling our public schools, and that more than 300,000 illegal aliens are serving time in our prisons. There are another 640,000 illegals who should be in prison but aren’t because they are fugitives. We’re not paying to incarcerate them, so that’s a plus, but unfortunately they are probably the ones responsible for killing those 25 Americans every day. And, of course, we are getting those jobs done.
We really shouldn’t complain about the resurgence of heretofore eradicated diseases, including Tuberculosis and the plague. You’ve probably heard that bedbugs are also making a comeback. But it’s okay, because we’re getting all those jobs done.
I guess we should be more than willing to pay the cost for illegals to flood our hospital emergency rooms for free service; and it’s the least we can do to declare their babies born on our soil as American citizens. What else could a compassionate society do for people doing all those jobs for us?
Americans should be happy to press one for English and to sort through multiculti instructions written in Spanish (and sometimes other languages) in order to find the English directions. But again, who else is going to do all those jobs? Snobby, self-indulgent Americans? I don’t think so.
I have to confess that I was less than thrilled recently to see my local super market put up new signs over their food aisles directing customers to the item of their choice in both English and Spanish. I found myself wondering how long it would take me to figure out in Mexico City that “Jalapeño” means “Pepper.” But after I thought about all those jobs lazy, spoiled Americans (apparently including me) simply won’t do, I realized it was well worth whatever inconvenience I might experience.|
To tell you the truth, I was at a loss to figure out which jobs the invading hordes of illegals actually were doing that my fellow Americans and I won’t do. Oh, I know the usual answers, but those don’t seem to be the jobs I see them doing. In fact, I see them roofing houses and making good money at it. I see them working hard at more and more skilled jobs that people I know personally would gladly do.
They can't. They are ILLEGAL and shouldn't even be working.
However, go ahead and file a claim - then they can deport you!!!
Sorry, that's the price you pay for being here illegally, breaking laws, hurting the US economy ant not being a citizen!!
LMAO! antis you are so bad..
In most instances, it wouldn't be a problem.
For all those obsessed with the fear of others, including Klaatu (not all of whose problems relate to immigration and who I'd fear more on my block than any immigrant), please realize that immigration is a federal responsibility. Most immigrants contribute to state economies, pay sales taxes, and often pay income tax either under their name or an assumed one. They help local businesses stay local and not head off to Asia. Recognize that we share a continent and ask yourself if your reaction would be the same to Canadians, either French-speaking or English-speaking, or to Cajuns or the religious communities in the East that still speak German. Recognize that your response is not rational; it is racist. The great American sin takes a bit of a turn, now incorporating tradition Southwest antagonism towards Mexico into our historic disinclination to allow blacks full participation in our country. Did all of y'all vote for the current warmonger in the White House installed by the Supreme Court in 2000? Just curious.
Whatever, you are such a liar.
Ps. You like how I got to level 2 overnight?
Good! Enjoy your injuries. Illegals lie all the time to insure their own job security, as they lie on Americans that are injured to prevent them from recieving any benefits! While Stealing their Identities!
Sue you employer for a personal injury claim.You do not need to be a citizen to do that. Yes, you would be deported, as soon as your employer notified the ICE of your status. But your employer will still think twice when your PI lawyer notifies the ICE or your employers violation of the law, esp if you were a long time employee,and/ or there are several illegal employees and/or explotive conditions. Keep in min the lawyer wil take 30% cut and will only be interested if there are large sums involved. I've seen this pulled this off before with sucess in a usa court of law.

Hey Antis! Guess what? I can tell you where you can get worker's compensation! EN EL MEXICO! All you have to do is just go back the way you came and never return. Adios.
Become your bosses in-law (Marry his daughter,sister etc.-etc).
Then for sure there will be compensation along with the fringe benefits!
