What Makes Fresno Different
Fresno is in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley — the most productive agricultural region in the world. But it's also where farmworkers face some of the toughest working conditions: extreme heat, pesticide exposure, repetitive harvest work, and often, fear of reporting injuries due to immigration status. Your immigration status does NOT affect your right to workers' comp benefits in California. We speak Spanish and represent farmworkers across the Central Valley.
The Workers' Comp Process in Fresno
The process follows California law:
- Report your injury to your supervisor or HR immediately.
- Request the DWC-1 form.
- Get medical care.
- Do not sign anything from the insurer without consulting an attorney.
The insurer has between 14 and 90 days to accept or deny your claim. If it's denied, we appeal at the Fresno WCAB office, where Fresno cases are heard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have an office in Fresno?
Our main office is in Los Angeles, but we represent workers across all of California, including Fresno. We work by phone, video, and email — the majority of cases don't require office visits until the day of trial or formal conference, which take place at the Fresno WCAB office near where you work.
I was hurt working in Fresno. Where will my case be processed?
Your case will be processed at the Fresno WCAB office, the workers' comp board that covers Fresno County. We know that court and handle cases there regularly.
I'm undocumented and work in Fresno. Can I receive benefits?
Yes. Your immigration status does not affect your right to workers' comp benefits in California. The insurer cannot use your status against you. California law protects all workers.
How much does it cost to hire you?
Nothing up front. We work on contingency. If we recover benefits for you, our fees are approved by a WCAB judge and typically run 15% of disability benefits. If we recover nothing, you owe nothing.
