Q:
What happens if my California employer is uninsured and I’m hurt on the job?
A:
All employers in California are required to have California workers compensation insurance. If they don’t, then you can sue your employer if you have a work injury.
If you become injured or ill while on the job and your employer is not insured, it is their responsibility to pay for bills incurred that relate to the incident. There are also ways that you can make your employer pay your medical bills.
Technically, the case is called failure to secure the payment of compensation in California. It is called a “Second Party” case.
