Uninsured Employers If you are injured while working for an employer without workers compensation insurance, you are still eligible for benefits. File a claim with the Labor Commission. Either the employer will paid the claim directly or, if the employer is not financially able to pay the claim, a state fund, the Uninsured Employer�s Fund, will pay the claim. In either case, it takes time to sort through the legal issues, so contact the Labor Commission immediately. Unfortunately, employers are often frightened by a claim when they are uninsured and may lie about your employment status or the injury. If such complicated disputes are involved, contact an attorney for assistance. |
