[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]One question we are often asked at the Law Offices of Scott Warmuth is whether or not a non-citizen of the United States is eligible for workers’ compensation benefits.\u00a0 In California, that answer is yes.\u00a0 All California workers, regardless of citizenship status, are eligible for aid should they be injured on the job.\u00a0 Even workers who do not have legal authorization to work in the United States have workers’ compensation protections.<\/p>\n
This is a very important point to reiterate.\u00a0 If you are injured while working in California, regardless of your immigration status, you should contact a workers’ compensation attorney.\u00a0 Employers are required by law to carry workers’ compensation insurance, which does not discriminate on who you are or how you were injured.\u00a0 You should immediately report any work injury<\/a>.\u00a0 Retaliation for reporting a work injury is illegal, but if it should happen, an experienced workers’ compensation attorney<\/a> will help you seek damages.<\/p>\n The workers’ compensation process is the same for citizens and non-citizens as well.\u00a0 The benefits too.\u00a0 All injured workers are entitled to medical treatment, disability benefits, and job displacement benefits.\u00a0 The Law Offices of Scott Warmuth can help you recover physically and financially from your work injury.\u00a0 Call us today at 888-517-9888<\/strong> to receive a free injury consultation![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One question we are often asked at the Law Offices of Scott Warmuth is whether or not a non-citizen of the United States is eligible for workers’ compensation benefits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1562,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[58],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-workers-compensation"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1709"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1709\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1562"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
