Parents need to be aware of the risks of having someione working in your home and driving your child. |
THIS. If you don’t talk with a lawyer, you’re crazy. I am sorry this has happened to you, but you must deal with this in a responsible way. |
It doesn’t matter that it was part time and not full time. Being paid cash does not matter. But if they were in VA, As a general rule, a business with more than two employees is required by law to carry workers’ compensation insurance. So they might have no workers comp. Also this: a homeowner is only liable for a slip and fall accident on his/her property if the homeowner was negligent and his/her negligence was a cause of your accident. Simply because you fell on someone’s property does not mean that the homeowner was negligent. You had to have fallen because of some unsafe condition in the property. The liability portion of homeowner’s liability only covers damages for negligence. If, for example, you slipped because you spilled some water on the floor and didn’t wipe it up, the homeowner would not be liable, and his/her insurer would not be required to pay you any money under its liability coverage. |
Op here then what’s my options? |
This is such a troll post |
OP’s nanny family may be negligent because they had slippery stairs. OP, I would consult a personal injury lawyer who works on a continency basis. |
^^*contingency basis |
I knew a massage therapist who made a successful claim against her client’s homeowner’s policy when a pitbill, not the client’s but one running loose in the neighborhood, badly bit her leg on the doorstep of the client’s house, resulting in significant medical bills and loss of income because she couldn’t work for months. |
I would definitely talk to an attorney about your options. |
I would print out your texts and venmo receipt. The family was also violating the law by not paying you under the table. |
Correction: by paying you |
Your state may not require workman’s comp for one employee but it is always a good idea to have it and let your insurance company know you have household employees. |
Don’t tell me—you are a nanny employer who pays under the table and doesn’t carry workman’s comp? |
op, you cannot expect any sympathy from any of us for breaking the law. You knowingly accepted a job working under the table and now you want us to help you? No offense, but this could be karma to you for your criminal actions. Get another job with health coverage to pay your bills or apply for medicaid. Take this as a life lesson learned. I am simply appalled by the recent nonsense on this forum lately. A woman who wants to skip a days work over a stupid cat. Who needs a day to grieve over an animal? And this, someone working under the table who is now sorry that she was injured on the job and expects her medical bills to be paid? |
Op here , I agree with you but the thing is that we agreed on cash for short term as trial period then on the book . It was my bad luck I hurt on first day of my work. I wrote in the post under the table since my situation was like under the table regardless what we agreed for.
Note , it’s totally legal if you make cash certain amount and don’t inform IRS ( like $600 during year so ) It was just my bad luck not karma since we agreed on the book for long term . |
