Undocumented Workers in Huntington Park: The Law Protects You

A large portion of Huntington Park's workforce consists of workers without immigration documents. Employers sometimes use this as a pressure tool when an injury occurs — suggesting that filing a claim will have consequences.

That is illegal.

California workers' compensation law protects all employees, regardless of immigration status. A workers' comp claim does not trigger any immigration process. Filing a claim cannot legally result in deportation. And if your employer threatens you, fires you, or intimidates you for filing a claim, that retaliation is a separate violation of the law.

At Zapata Legal Group, we serve all Huntington Park workers without asking about documentation.
