I'm sure that the argument is that since she is an independant contractor she is not entitled to workers comp.

California has already determined that film actors are employees. Since workman's comp is a state statute they define who is - and who is not - an "employee" for the purposes of this law. In this case, regardless of the language in the contract, if they determine that your job is that as defined as a "film actor", you're an "employee" of the producer as it pertains to the Workman's Comp law.

But, since I'm not a lawyer, I'll shut up and let Pornlaw take this up if he's interested ....
