- Workman's Compensation Insurance is specifically for work related injuries. State laws control the way WCI is regulated, meaning the requirements that are needed to collect a claim, the amount of the claim and so forth. Not all employer's are required to participate in WCI therefore not all employee's would have access to the program.
- In the UK an employer is responsible for injuries caused in the workplace if the employer was in some way negligent or breached other UK regulations. For example - if a workman hurt his foot due to a defective work machine - the employer would be liable to pay compensation.

If you were hurt on the job but your job consists of working in people's homes can you sue the homeowner for an attic ladder breaking plus get workmens comp?
Answer"Sue" just means "ask". You're asking the courts to award you money to offset real or perceived harm. The court will then look at all of the events leading up to the harm and make a determination about whether you have a valid claim. If it turns out to be caused by something that YOU did, the courts probably won't award you what you're asking.If you were hurt on the job, and you are a contractor, you are supposed to be responsible for your own medical/insuranc bills. If you are an employee of someone who sent you to work on a house, your employer is required to carry workmens compensation insurance. If you're just helping out a neighbor, you might be entitled to compensation for damages, but consider what it will do to your relationship with the neighbor. What you're asking does not have a simple answer.
