Illegal? What should I do?

[Guest adale04]

I worked for a place for 5 days, then I got in an accident when I was delivering for them. Which is illegal I found out since I was only 17 at the time. He shouldn't have been letting me deliver. I didnt know this since I just started working for him and hadnt got paid yet, but he paid under the table. I was in the hospital for a month, in a rehab for a month, and then went home but was still in therapy until January. He should have helped us, and if he didnt pay under the table social security and workers comp would have helped. I want to inform social security, the people who gave him this business license, and whoever needs to know because it's illegal what he's doing. And also he hasnt paid me for the 5 days that I worked there. I filled out the papers I needed to the day before I started working there so I did what I should have to work there legally. What should I do? How do i get the money he owes me for working there? Shouldnt he help on the doctor bills? Or does he get off scot-free even though he is doing something illegal? Please write me and let me know and pass it on to others who might be able to help me do what needs to be done. My email address is: adale04@juno.com .

Please help me give justice. -April
