If worker's compensation is your only income for you and your family then no you don't have to file taxes. Worker's Compensation is not taxable on Federal Income Taxes.
If you are paid a wage or a salary for temporary work, the employer must deduct ALL taxes, social security and workers comp. If you are a subcontractor paid on a 1099, (which means YOU will pay all the taxes, etc) then no deductions are taken from your compensation. So it depends on the agreement you have with the contractor. He cannot, however, just take out workers comp and nothing else.
Worker's Comp payments are not taxable.

Workers comp payments (whether a settlement or not) are generally not taxable. However, if the payment causes your Social Security benefits to be reduced, the part of the benefit that reduces your SS payment will be treated as if it were an SS payment.
A zillion..depending on their business. Most are simply invisible to either employees or customers...simply a cost of doing business. What payroll taxes do they pay...same answer. Most to the benefit of the employee. Most predominate is the half of FICA they pay, appox. @7.65% of your salary. And of course it also depends on what you mean by taxes. But unemployment, disability, workers comp would be just some of the others. Agreeably, some are at the State level, or even more local. and some have both a State & Federal component. Standard generalization is that payroll tax and benefits amounts to an additional @30% of the base pay.

Payments for injuries under worker's compensation laws are not taxable under federal or state taxes.
Workers’ compensation benefits are generally exempt from federal and state income taxes. These benefits are designed to compensate employees for workplace injuries or illnesses, and the law protects them from taxation to ensure injured workers can focus on recovery. However, there is one exception: if a person is receiving both workers’ compensation and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) (954-618-1776) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), their workers’ comp benefits may reduce their Social Security payments. This is called an “offset.” In such cases, the portion of workers’ comp benefits considered as SSDI income may be subject to taxation, depending on the individual’s total income. If a person cannot pay taxes on this taxable portion, the consequences mirror those of unpaid taxes in general. The IRS may assess penalties and interest on the unpaid amount. Continued non-payment can lead to tax liens, garnished wages, or levies on bank accounts. It’s crucial for individuals in this situation to act proactively. They can contact the IRS to set up a payment plan, explore hardship options, or consult a tax professional for advice. For most, though, workers’ compensation benefits remain tax-free, making this a rare issue to face.
