You have two problems. One is that you were earning money without reporting it to the IRS and that is illegal. Secondly you were receiving earnings on a job that was off the books. Literal translation meaning that your job did not exist. If you try to prove that you were working for the company then you risk prosecution from the IRS so you are caught between a rock and a hard place. Temporary workers usually sign a contract agreement which basically renders them "Contract Labor" and they are responsible for their own insurance and their own taxes.
I think you are out of luck.

Depending on where you live! You could go to the Criminal Injuries Board. You could see a lawyer, one that is Free for his consultation, pick a lawyer with a good reputation, and specializes in "workplace injuries". I try and tell people like you, who think "working under the table", has benefits! See what happened to you! In to-days world, you need ALL the benefits you can get in the "work force", don't work under the table again. I sincerely hope your injuries do NOT leave a permanent result. Good Luck..

Am I the only person who doesn't read answers by people who don't have a little blue man next to them? Anyway, re: your question - The more serious something is the less serious I take it. I have an inverted approach. Funerals should be funny, dammit! You should laugh about getting fired. However, losing the taxi receipt and dreading having to justify why you should get reimbursed $15 even if you don't have a receipt - that's what keeps me up at night.

Sorry to break it to you, but if you are "off the books" or "under the tables"..you have no right to seek any compensation.
If you were to try and make some kind of report or lawsuit, you will be held liable for tax evasion, or worse..

working off the books is illegal you would have to prove that you were working there and the job is going to fight you big time. they're evading taxes by not paying the IRS or ss etc for you
