MENDOZA v. MONMOUTH RECYCLING CORP.

288 N.J. Super. 240 (1996)

672 A.2d 221

LUIS CASTRO MENDOZA, PETITIONER-APPELLANT, v. MONMOUTH RECYCLING CORPORATION (CORRECT RESPONDENT BEING QUALITY LABOR SERVICES), RESPONDENT.

Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division.

Decided March 7, 1996.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Victor M. Covelli, attorney for appellant.

Staehle & DeSanto, attorneys for respondent (Steven J. Currenti, on the brief).

Before Judges PRESSLER, KEEFE and A.A. RODRIGUEZ.

The opinion of the court was delivered by PRESSLER, P.J.A.D.

The question raised by this appeal is whether an illegal alien who is injured on the job is entitled to workers' compensation benefits even if he is not authorized by law to work. The judge of workers' compensation dismissed the claim petition on the ground that workers' compensation benefits are not available to an illegal alien. We disagree and consequently reverse and remand.
