Ahora est\u00e1s despierto, sin poder dormir, pregunt\u00e1ndote si presentar una reclamaci\u00f3n significa que alguien se entere de que no tienes papeles, y que todo lo que has construido aqu\u00ed se venga abajo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La ley de Carolina del Norte te protege. El sistema de indemnizaci\u00f3n laboral toma en cuenta lo que ganabas antes de tu lesi\u00f3n, no tu situaci\u00f3n migratoria, y ning\u00fan ajustador tiene el derecho legal de rechazar tu reclamo por tu estatus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Desafortunadamente, eso no significa que el proceso siempre sea sencillo.

La Corte de Apelaciones de Carolina del Norte resolvi\u00f3 la cuesti\u00f3n de manera directa. En <em>Rivera contra Trapp<\/em>, 135 N.C.

Ese conocimiento no le da a la compa\u00f1\u00eda de seguros una nueva defensa. El personal encargado de las reclamaciones y los funcionarios de audiencia en la <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ic.nc.gov\/workers-compensation-claims\/injured-workers\" target=\"_blank\">Comisi\u00f3n Industrial de Carolina del Norte<\/a> &nbsp;no se dedican a la aplicaci\u00f3n de las leyes de inmigraci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"proving-your-lost-wages-when-youre-paid-in-cash\"><\/span>C\u00f3mo demostrar tus salarios perdidos cuando te pagan en efectivo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El hecho de que te paguen en la mano no anula tu salario semanal promedio.

Ese registro es a menudo lo que convierte una t\u00e1ctica de intimidaci\u00f3n en una demanda por despido en represalia contra el empleador.

En la pr\u00e1ctica, a menudo se utiliza un ITIN o un pasaporte extranjero, aunque las propias instrucciones de la Comisi\u00f3n Industrial confirman que no se requiere un n\u00famero de Seguro Social.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5>\u00bfQu\u00e9 pasa si mi empleador me dice que no puedo presentar la declaraci\u00f3n porque no tengo documentos?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Est\u00e1n equivocados, y vale la pena anotar exactamente lo que dijeron. La ley estatal considera ilegal ese tipo de represalias, y esto puede convertirse en una demanda adicional a tu caso por lesiones. Lleva esa nota a tu primera reuni\u00f3n con un abogado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5>\u00bfA\u00fan puedo recibir rehabilitaci\u00f3n vocacional o capacitarme para un nuevo trabajo?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A veces, y eso depende de tu lesi\u00f3n y de la aseguradora de tu empleador. Si no pueden ofrecerte rehabilitaci\u00f3n debido a tu situaci\u00f3n, ese es un problema que les corresponde resolver a ellos, no una raz\u00f3n para reducir tu pago. P\u00eddele a tu abogado que se\u00f1ale esto desde el principio, ya que es uno de los aspectos en los que las aseguradoras suelen intentar ahorrar a toda costa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5>\u00bfCu\u00e1nto tiempo tengo para presentar mi reclamo?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tienes 30 d\u00edas para reportar el accidente a tu empleador. Luego, por lo general, tienes dos a\u00f1os a partir de la fecha de la lesi\u00f3n para presentar tu caso ante la Comisi\u00f3n Industrial. Si no cumples con ese plazo, tu caso podr\u00eda cerrarse, sin importar cu\u00e1n s\u00f3lidos sean los hechos.
