As an employee in the state of California, you are eligible for workman\u2019s compensation if you are injured at work. In fact, there are many workplace injury laws in place to protect you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A common misconception is that you must be a full-time employee and U.S. citizen to get worker\u2019s comp insurance. However, both part-time employees and undocumented workers are protected if injured at work in California. Also, you should never hesitate to file a worker\u2019s comp claim for fear of being reported to immigration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Educating yourself about workplace injury laws and taking immediate action after getting hurt are the best ways to ensure you get adequate coverage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are Considered Workplace Injuries?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

As <\/span>OSHA explains<\/span><\/a>, an injury is considered \u201c<\/span>work-related if an event or exposure in the work environment either caused or contributed to the resulting condition or significantly aggravated a pre-existing injury or illness.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Less obvious workplace injuries are pre-existing conditions that get intensified at work. For example, if you have asthma and are forced to work in a dusty environment with poor ventilation, your illness will likely become debilitating due to your job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the event you sustain a work-related injury, you should immediately file an incident report with your employer so there is a paper trail from the beginning. Even more, <\/span>Contact Casa de la Justicia<\/span><\/a> and we will make sure you get proper medical attention with no extra cost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
