If they didn't have workman's comp insurance, sue them. You must be undocumented. I would still see a lawyer.

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 .

You were going to go back and pay the taxes on the money that you’d already gotten as cash? You don’t get to just set aside the first portion of money from each employer and say that this is not taxable. If you were going to be paid legally later, then you should’ve already filed the I-9, and you should’ve already filled out your W-4. Which means that you have documentation to show that you work for them, so the post was unnecessary to start with, as it’s easy to prove that you were working for them and therefore should be covered by the Workmen’s Comp. or household insurance.

I had bad pain the family didn’t help me. I drove to ER by myself and was dizzy.
I told at hospital that I slipped at home didn’t mention at work. Didn’t want any problem for my employer.
Now I am in bed rest for weeks so.
My fault I was agree to get paid cash since it was part time long term job .
The family didn’t ask how I am doing they just Venmo and paid me for that day.
Has anyone experienced that kind of situation?
Any information will be helpful.
If I can get any assistance till I will heal.
Thanks

Employee or not their homeowners should cover any injuries in their homr

OP, first of all, how are you doing now?

Second, I think this is telling that the family didn't even ask how you are. Do you really want a long term gig with these people?

I am better thanks for asking . No I don’t have any interest to be in touch with them . Mostly law forms are not ready to help me out but there is two law form want me to help . To be honest I am going through physical pain and don’t want to take stress. Also I feel guilty to take any action since it was not their mistake. Just bad luck but I disappointed they didn’t check on me.
I talked with disability lawyer and he will help me to get short term disability.
I appreciate all responses.

I fell at work due to a broken stair and it was also kind of dark. Though my employers paid my doctor bill, I sprained my ankle and had to wear that horrid boot.
I didnt even think about asking about their home owner's insurance. That has been some 20 odd years ago. My ankle kills me on and off even today. You never get paid under the table it's not worth it!
