Are Laborers and Landscape Workers Covered Under Workers’ Compensation?
As a day laborer or temporary employee, you may be wondering if you are eligible to seek workers’ compensation benefits for an injury that occurred while at work. In most cases, workers’ compensation is not available for temporary employees or day laborers. These workers however may claim compensation for their losses and injuries in the following ways.
- Temporary employees or day laborers may recover workers’ compensation from the employment agency that hired them on behalf of a company to complete a job on behalf of the company.
- Day laborers and temporary employees can choose to seek compensation for their injuries by pursuing a personal injury claim against any third party that was responsible for their injuries. For example, they can seek compensation from the property owner if they were injured as a result of dangerous conditions on the property.
- Day laborers and temporary employees can also seek reimbursement for work-related injuries if they can demonstrate that the business that hired them violated labor law in New Jersey and these violations resulted in the accident that caused their injuries.
