Are seasonal workers entitled to workers' compensation if injured on the job?
Yes, seasonal workers are entitled to workers' compensation benefits in most situations if they are injured on the job. They are treated like regular employees for workers' compensation purposes. This means they can receive coverage for medical expenses and lost wages if their injury is work-related. There are some exceptions, such as independent contractors, who may not be covered. If you're unsure about your specific situation, consult with a Castle Law attorney to discuss workers' compensation for seasonal workers.
