What Legal Options for Compensation Do Day Laborers Have?

In some cases, a day laborer may have the right to file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits from a company that employs them. However, a day laborer will often be classified as an independent contractor for the person or company that hires them. Day laborers must often pursue financial recovery for work injuries by pursuing a personal injury claim against the party or parties whose negligence or fault caused the laborer’s injuries. A personal injury claim can provide compensation for an injured laborer’s expenses and losses, including:

• Medical and rehabilitation expenses
• Costs of long-term care and support for permanent disabilities
• Lost wages due to missed time from work
• Lost earning ability and loss of future income
• Physical pain and distress
• Emotional suffering, including distress or embarrassment caused by physical disabilities or permanent scarring/disfigurement
