Modesto Seasonal Work-Related Injury Attorney

Seasonal labor is often physical work, putting the people who work these jobs at risk of injury and disability. Seasonal jobs can also be more dangerous than year-round work, because the temporary nature of the work often requires increased intensity and efficiency. For example, it is not unusual for seasonal workers to work seven days a week at work sites, including:

  • Farms
  • Canneries
  • Factories
  • Warehouses

Working long hours under often-pressured conditions, it is not surprising that seasonal workers in California face an array of work-related injuries, for example:

  • Falls from ladders
  • Farm injuries
  • Warehouse injuries
  • Heat exhaustion/exposure
  • Machinery-related injuries
  • Burns
  • Valley fever

Immigration Status And Workers’ Compensation

A person need not be a United States citizen to apply for workers’ compensation. One needs only to have been injured while performing the duties of a job in this country. Immigrants may face certain limits on the amount of benefits they can receive through workers’ compensation, but they are still eligible to apply. If you are a seasonal worker who has been hurt on the job, take advantage of your free initial consultation and discuss your case with an English- or Spanish-speaking lawyer.
