It appears your question may involve work you perform as an independent contractor. It's important to note that just because you may be called an independent contractor, it is likely that you are NOT an independent contractor in the eyes of many states including those here in Minnesota. You may very well be entitled to medical and wage benefits under the laws of your state. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any addition questions.

It appears from your question that you may work trhoguh a temp agency. If that's the case, then your claim is to be filed with the temp agency. If you work for a subcontractor and the subcontractor does not have workers compensation insurance, then there may be coverage through the general contractor. Please feel free to contat me if you have additional questions.
