Re: Illegal immigrant hurt on job - what legal rights do have

Your question has several issues and requires more of the facts for a full answer. However, there is a good possibility that you could sue, not only for your medical bills, but also for lost income along with pain and suffering. I would suggest that you seek an attorney to help you with this, normally in accident cases any fee to the attorney would be a percentage of any money obtained. This way, you would not have to pay for an attorney out of your pocket.
