The second job *might* be liable for your lost income--including from the first job--IF they were at fault for causing your injury at the second job. That is, they would not be liable just because you were injured at their site, or while working for them; there must be more, like safety violations, inadequate training, or a intentional or negligent act by someone at the job, to possibly constitute fault.
