Re: dont know where to turn
In MInnesota, the question of whether you are an employee or an independent contractor is a fact issue, meaning only a judge can ultimately make this decision. You may very well be an employee. If so, the employer should have had insurance. If he did not and you are found to be an employee, the state will pay for your medical bills and wage loss and go after your employer.
