If a temporary employee is injured on the job, is he entitled to worker's compensation? |
I got a minor injury on the job lifting a fairly light piece of equipment. I had been lifting almost from the beginning of my assignment. Turns out the agency didn't know it. I thought they did. I'm a temp. It hasn't been a week and I'm getting better, but today the client--not the agency-- told me it was my last day. The client claims to have no use for me without the lifting, like it's the bulk of my work. Anyway, since I'm a temp, how do I continue my medical care if I need it? Do I sue the agency (who is supposedly trying to find me a new job) or the client or both? Is suing really necessary? If I accept a new position from the temp agency, how does that affect this whole thing? call a workers comp lawyer...most will give u a free consult to tell u what ur rights are.... Yes you are entitled to workers comp.You should have filed an injury report with your employer. Go to the state employment division and ask to make a claim. You should report the injury rite away.If you have any claim it falls in the hands of the temp agency.Good luck |
