Los Angeles California is home to one of the largest day laborer populations in the nation. As a result there are numerous instances where day laborers are injured while performing their tasks. Often time such injuries go without compensation leaving the injured party to face serious medical bills and long term pain and suffering without proper remedies. Day laborers are often intimidated by their employer with threats of deportation or feel that the legal system will not apply to remedy there harm, however such contentions are not accurate. When a day laborer is harmed while performing his tasks the employer or homeowner will be liable and can face liability. A day laborer is defined as a person who is employed to perform a series or specific task for a limited period of time on a day-to-day basis. Often time’s day laborers are not paid a fair wage and are mistreated or subjected to hazardous working conditions without proper recovery.
Day laborers fail to take proper legal measures to protect and enforce their rights for fear of the legal system or due to language barriers. However, they should act immediately in order to avoid losing their claim.

Under vicarious liability theory an employer will be liable for the harm suffered to his employee or to others at the hand of his employee so long as it was within the reasonable course of business. A employer such as a homeowner, church, construction company or other party who employs a day laborer can be liable for injuries they suffer. Recent court cases have found employer liable for the death of a day laborer in a tree trimming accident and liability was found when a homeowner failed to provide proper working conditions. Day laborers can recover when their injuries are a result of employment and their case is particularly strengthened when the work environment was unsafe.
