Q: Do seasonal workers/employees qualify for workers' compensation if they are injured on the job?
A: It depends on the company the seasonal employee is working for, and their relationship with that company. Did you file a report with the company outlining your injuries and the circumstances leading up to your injury? If not, do so immediately. I would recommend organizing all information you believe is relevant to this situation, and consult with an attorney individually. A knowledgeable attorney will review the details of your case, and will advise you to the best course of action moving forward. Also, many of us offer free consultations, so it will not cost you anything to obtain a professional opinion tailored to the specific details of your situation.
