Misclassification in employment status is a persistent problem. California’s changing laws seek to protect injured individuals from employers who try to avoid paying workers’ compensation. As it stands, if you are an independent contractor, you cannot collect workers’ compensation. Companies seeking to avoid liability find hiring independent contractors simpler and less costly should something go wrong. If you or somebody you love has been misclassified as an independent contractor at work but are struggling to get the compensation you deserve, seek legal assistance today. Consult with Los Angeles workers compensation lawyers at Koszdin, Fields, Sherry & Katz. Their qualified and experienced team understands that this is a difficult time for you, and they want to help secure the compensation you need. |
