then they sent some checks. for me they sent an email they say they will send me a check of $13 But i'm sure it was more than $13 i heard some drivres they hire a lower and they get more than that

This is not workers comp. It is more in the field of wage and hour compliance. Google the NJ Department of Labor. Go to the tab on Worker Protection and wage and hour compliance will pop up. That will make for good background reading. if you don't have the answer after that contact a wage... Read more »
I am a relatively new employee. I started working about a month ago. That is around the time in which I began getting pain in my arms and strong numbness in my fingers. I waited a little bit to see if this was something that required me to get adjusted to or if it was temporary, but as I went to... Read more »

It's hard to say from what you described as to whether you have a solid WC case. The best thing to do is to report your experience to Costco and ask to be seen by a company authorized doctor. You have to get treatment through Costco, although there are exceptions. A lot depends upon the job... Read more »
I reside in NJ where but i was doing work in NY, where a county specific license was required to do home improvement. I have a court date and i need to know what kind of lawyer i should find. I didn't qualify for a public defender.

You will probably need a New York criminal lawyer if the case is in New York. Speak with one to find out.
I have a part time job where an undocumented employee got injured on the job and the employer is asking him to fill out an I-9 verification form so that he can pay the medical bills. By the looks of things it seems like my boss is trying to get rid of him and not actually pay for the medical bills,... Read more »

Both your boss and the undocumented worked are in violation of Federal law. It is unwise to post anything further about this in a public forum monitored by law enforcement. There is no attorney-client privilege online and this situation is far beyond the scope of this forum.
Can I go with my second oppinon

This is a serious matter you should follow your attorneys advise and if you don't have one get one now. Most at least offer free in office consultations.
I am trying to obtain the bills so that I can file a lawsuit pro se, with the initial attempt being a demand letter. I have also been contacted by the drivers insurance company wanting to settle this matter but without the bills I am unaware of what would be a fair offer. I asked the previous... Read more »

If the bills are paid what does it matter however if you're saying this because you want to file a lawsuit let your attorney get the bills and give him a release to do this.
Owner knew about it and choose for cook to work anyway.i have voice recording of dm telling owner about problem and medical records.

If you got them usually workers comp is the only remedy unless you needed extermination work at your home. Contact a member of the NJ Assn for Justice who handles comp cases---they give free consults.
my fault?

Workers comp protects you whether it's your fault or someone else's

Yes you should speak with a lawyer about this immediately, most of us offer free in office consultations and most will do this on a contingency fee basis (i.e you only pay the lawyer if you collect). Lastly you may not just be able to collect from your employer but also the person that hit you, if... Read more »

Once we submitted their invoice for payment, they told us the check was ready, but they wouldn’t release it without proof of workman’s comp insurance. Is this legal? They allowed us to perform the work before ever requesting proof of any type of insurance?

Did you have a contract, did they have a contract? Anyway you are required to have workers compensation insurance by law. Sounds like you need to get yourself a good contract written by a lawyer.
I just want to make this clearer. Do LLC Owners personally also need to be covered under Workmans Comp. or just their employees?

Yes in general all employers need to have workers comp insurance.
If I need a dr in the middle of the night and I go to er or medi center by my house am I covered.

If the injury originally occurred in regards to the course of your employment such as you fell at work and woke up the next morning with a herniated disc and severe back pain WC should cover you.

Probably a lot of money but to tell you exactly a lawyer would need to know exactly your injury (Complete Medical Diagnosis) and whether anyone other third party is responsible for your injury such as the ladder company because you were on a ladder and the ladder rung broke. I suggest you seek out... Read more »

Yes even if you work for an employer one hour you're covered.

I thing that you will find that it is the criminal offense of insurance fraud and could result in jail.

You may want to repost your question under insurance law so you get more responses as it is not a criminal law question.

The question is maybe, especially if it was in the course of employment or if you were still at the work place. I suggest you speak with a lawyer ASAP as much more facts are needed and time lines do exist to file a claim.
