What If You Are An Immigrant Worker?

Many farm laborers in California do not have permanent legal status. Even so, you still have the same employment law rights as American citizens. The law forbids employers from retaliating against workers by reporting their immigration status to authorities such as the police or the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). It is also against the law for employers to fire you for reporting a workplace injury. Our lawyers will act quickly to protect your status, help you stay in the country, recover workers’ comp benefits, and even help you keep your job, despite the retaliation of your employer.

Know Your Rights When It Comes To Medical Care

You need to seek medical treatment from a doctor within 24 hours of filing a workers’ compensation claim. Your employer will likely offer you a list of doctors to choose from. However, many employers hire doctors who try to minimize workers’ injuries so that insurance companies can pay less money. You have the right to see your own doctor 30 days after your accident. Speak with one of our lawyers so we can enforce your rights and recommend independent professionals you can trust.
