The Independent Contractor Lie

Workers’ compensation is available for individuals who suffer injuries while they are working. However, what legal protection is available for independent contractors who suffer injuries?

Many employers misclassify their employees as independent contractors in order to avoid paying them workers’ compensation. Construction workers and truck drivers, for example, are often told that they are independent contractors, even though they are employees.
