Re: Injured at work

If your employer doesn't have workers comp insurance, he is violating the law and you have the right to 1) file a work comp claim and receive benefits from the state Uninsured Employers Fund and 2) sue him for your injury. Suggest you contact a work comp lawyer in yout area -with experience in UEF cases-.

There are many complex procedures involved in a workers' compesation case, especially when you are forced to file against UEF. UEF is, Uninsured Employers Fund and it is a state agency.
