" I CHOSE my profession as a nurse, so by that merit does that mean I'm not entitled to workman's comp claims? How many people are FORCED into their jobs? Not many, so your argument doesn't hold any water. I say give her the money, she deserves it. And BTW, who cares about your friend? "

" in california, illegal aliens can collect workers comp even if the insurance company did not know the insured had illegals working there. in this case, the employer should of had a workers comp policy just like every other employer has. "

" Let's hope you never need to file a workman's comp claim at your job. After all, you CHOSE to work there! "

" Strippers are usually independent contractors, but I expect as IRA Agent alluded the strip club is probably still liable for injuries that occur on their premises. And to Hah, just because you don't approve of a profession doesn't mean they aren't entitled to the same workers rights as you. "

" this is absolutely rediculous. a stripper getting workmans comp. she CHOSE to do that job and dance on a pole. i personally do not think strippers should be allowed workmans comp. i know someone who has been fighting for workmans comp for SEVEN years, and has yet to get a dime. she actually had a GOOD job. shes had many surgeries because of the injury.

" I wonder if in Nevada, if a girl is a prostitute at a legal bordello, if she could get workman's comp or permanent disability if she were to contract an STD. "
