In NJ, they are entitled to recover for their injuries but not lost wages. Don’t ask me why, I am just a lawyer, not a legislator.
Hire an illegal and you should be responsible for them.
Let them recover in prison, after all they are illegal (what is the prison term for entering the US illegally?). When their prison term is over, send them back to Mexico and let them become the ward of their native country.
The employer ought to be liable. The problem we have isn’t that illegals want to come into this country - it’s human nature for poor people to want to better their lot. It’s that employers are able to hire them and pay them substandard wages and benefits without penalty. If they are forced to pay prevailing wages and disability benefits, the major benefit of hiring illegal aliens goes down, reducing the number of employers who will hire them, and consequently reducing the number of illegal aliens coming in, given that they won’t be able to find jobs as easily.
Right where is the dirt bag contractor that hired him go after his illegal hiring sob
Deport him i bet he would have a hard time swimming back
They hire illegals to keep costs down, then if something happens don’t pay for it.
Those aren’t employees, that’s slave labor. And the Dems are all for it and want more.
‘bob’? sorry, old joke!
Send the bill to George W. Bush and John McCain.
In Kaleefornia, illegals are entitled to recover full work comp benefits as well as sue for damages in civil court. In fact, you cannot even inquire to their citizenship status in discovery. As a defense lawyer, you’ll be sanctioned by the judge if you even hint that they’re not here legally.
I agree. It should be the employers who hire illegals and the politicians who encourage it. Those cheap wages come at a price.
So if a property owner hires a contractor who employs illegal aliens, then the property own should bear the cost? I don't ever recall property owners being responsible real American workers. It's the job of the contractor to withhold workers compensation. The worker get covered by that. Do you think that happened in this case?
You are taking the word of the only corroborator, the OTHER illegal alien, that the employer KNEW he was using fake SS#’s? The coke/weed would be enough to negate most work comp claims. He’s been treated for 3 years, and still hasn’t tried to find a path to citizenship, even though advocacy groups offer to initiate it free? And, if the illegal alien brother was such a stand-up guy, why isn’t HE helping him? He should have been deported, and receive the treatment to which his home country offers.
Better to clarify that the employers are liable for injury to their workers ~ just like in the days before Workmen's Comp laws.
So were the Republicans who supported Bush I and II. Keep your eyes on the ball.
Here’s a news flash: If he had been hurt in Mexico, no one would have paid his bills their either, least of all the Mexican Gov’t.
I’ll bet $50 that he was getting paid under the table. And the cretin still thinks he is entitled to workman’s comp.
If he weren’t here illegally, this wouldn’t have happened here.
What does he expect? Tax payers to pay his medical bills too?
Doesn’t he feel guilty about being here ILLEGAL, breaking our laws and taking a job from a LEGAL U.S. citizen?
