Friend severed fingers on a job site yesterday!

[David A.]

Hi all,

I have a friend that had an accident yesterday while remodeling a home. He had to be airlifted to the hospital and lost two fingers. He has been working for a guy for the past 7 years or so doing remodeling on his rentals and what he has told me he does not have any written agreement and has been getting paid per day or per job. What benefits if any could he receive from his boss? He is distraught, has 2 kids and has no idea what he can do for work until he can recover. Thank you for any answers
