workers compensation

[mendoza.erika81]

My husband was injured at work, but he is working there illegally, Can he still sue the company??He is in the process of becoming a permanent resident, will that affect his immigration case?

It would have been better if you had kept all your related questions in the same thread.

However.

Except in very limited situations, Worker's Comp is the sole remedy for an on-the-job injury.

What does he think he can sue for?

Obviously the Op knows its a Workers Comp. Claim her husband wants to pursue. Technically, "sue" is the wrong word, but you KNOW what the Op was talking about so why comment on something so incidental?

Op, your husband can file a Worker's Comp. Claim despite his legal status. He is an injured worker and he has the same rights regarding injured workers in this country.

He also has the right to fight deportation proceedings should they be initiated.

No, I do NOT know that the OP knows the difference between "suing" and "filing a Worker's Comp claim". I do NOT know that the wording was "incidental". And neither do you. Words matter.

Oh, and BTW. In the OP's other thread, we already discussed the Work Comp situation.

I noticed, thank you.
