Were You Hurt On A Farm Near Modesto?
The soil around Modesto is rich. Unfortunately, when farm and ranch workers are injured, they can quickly become poor. Medical expenses and other bills pile up, and without an income, it can seem impossible to make ends meet.
The good news is that most people who are hurt on the job can seek workers’ compensation benefits. The Law Office of Gary C. Nelson can help you with this. With more than 30 years of experience, our local law firm has the skill to make a difference for you.
We are a local law firm that helps individuals injured at agricultural sites with Workers Compensation claims in Modesto and elsewhere in Stanislaus County.
Did you know? Even undocumented workers can seek benefits. Under California law, you are not allowed to be deported for filing a workers’ compensation claim. It should not affect your immigration status in any way.
From Overturned Tractors To Heat Stroke, Workers’ Comp Covers You
If your employer carries workers’ compensation insurance, it doesn’t matter what kind of accident occurred or what type of injury you suffered. It doesn’t even matter if you were injured the very first day on the job. You still have the right to medical care and other benefits.
Let our experienced lawyers help you pursue these benefits. We handle agricultural accidents involving:
- Tractors that tip over, crushing or trapping the worker
- Falls from grain bins, ladders, barn roofs and other structures
- Machinery accidents such as getting an arm caught in a farm auger
- Suffocation from lack of oxygen in silos or grain bins
- Heatstroke or heat exhaustion from working in the sun
- Hearing loss from exposure to high levels of machinery noise
