Are foreign workers also subject to the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act?

Yes, of course.

Foreign workers are also subject to the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act, and being a daily worker is no exception.

If you were injured in your shoulder and neck by materials while working at a construction site, like the inquirer, you can be recognized for daily worker industrial accident processing and receive medical expenses, business suspension benefits, disability compensation, etc.

However, to apply for industrial accident, you must first prove that there is a causal relationship between the injury and the work.

For example, medical certificates, photos at the time of the accident, colleague statements, work logs, etc. can be important evidence.

However, since employers or companies may not cooperate or may try to avoid responsibility, it is advantageous to receive help from a specialist attorney who exclusively handles industrial accident cases.

In the case of daily workers, when the number of working days exceeds a certain standard, they automatically become subject to industrial accident insurance, and even if the company has not subscribed to the insurance, in many cases, compensation can be received from the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service.

There are cases where only medical expenses are supported through industrial accident insurance, but to receive compensation for actual damages and mental damage, you can also claim additional compensation through an industrial accident lawsuit.

In particular, if you have suffered serious injuries such as fractures or disabilities, legal response is even more important.

Lastly, if you can prove that the employer did not properly take safety measures in the work environment, the possibility of being recognized as an industrial accident due to the company's fault increases.

Rather than handling all the procedures alone, please prepare the procedure together with a legal expert in the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act to receive sufficient compensation.
