Temporary employees are entitled workers' compensation

 If you are employed by a temporary agency but are injured on the site of a, for example, manufacturer, who do you work for? You are generally going to be the employee of the temp agency who signs your paycheck. Later, your temporary job may turn into permanent employment with the employer without your even noticing a difference, other than the name on your paycheck.  Temporary agencies contract with employers to provide temporary, long term or part time employees and agree as part of the deal to provide insurance coverage.  This is tricky, because any witnesses to your accident are likely to be the employees of the uninterested non-employer. If you are able to return to the job site after your injury you should make a note of the name of your on site supervisor and any witnesses to your accident. Be sure you have reported the accident to both your on site supervisor and your temp agency contact. Because of the two employer situation, there is often confusion and witnesses can be lost. Don’t let this confusion endanger your case.  A workers compensation attorney at Kenneth R. Croy and Associates in Cobb County, Marietta GA  can help you straighten this situation out to your benefit.
