When you get hurt on the job, the last thing you want to deal with is red tape. But for many workers in Santa Paula, that’s exactly what happens. Whether you work in agriculture, packing, warehouses, or on your feet all day at a local business, you have rights if you’re injured on the job.
At Kinsler Law, we’ve been helping workers in Santa Paula and Ventura County for over 30 years, and we want to make one thing clear: your immigration status doesn’t affect your right to workers’ compensation.
