How Can a Ventura Agricultural Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Help?

Farm work is physically demanding and full of potential dangers. Unfortunately, many injured farmworkers struggle to get the benefits they deserve due to employer pushback or insurance denials.

Our experienced workers’ compensation attorneys can:

  • File and manage your claim, ensuring you meet all deadlines and requirements.
  • Fight denied claims if your employer’s insurance refuses to pay.
  • Negotiate for full benefits, including medical care, lost wages, and disability compensation.
  • Investigate third-party liability, which may provide additional compensation beyond workers’ comp.
  • Ensure you are not pressured into an unfair settlement that doesn’t cover your full recovery needs.

If you were injured while working in agriculture, harvesting crops, operating machinery, or handling livestock, don’t let your employer or insurance company minimize your claim. Let Johnson Sandhu LLP protect your rights.

Common Causes of Agricultural Workplace Injuries

Farmworkers and agricultural employees face some of the most hazardous working conditions of any industry. Common causes of workplace injuries include:

  • Tractor and machinery accidents – Equipment malfunctions, rollovers, or entanglement in moving parts.
  • Slip and falls – Wet, muddy, or uneven terrain leading to fractures, sprains, or head injuries.
  • Heat stress and dehydration – Prolonged exposure to high temperatures causing heat stroke and exhaustion.
  • Repetitive motion injuries – Hand, wrist, and back strain from harvesting, packing, and bending.
  • Chemical exposure – Pesticides and fertilizers leading to respiratory issues, skin irritation, or long-term illness.
  • Livestock injuries – Being kicked, bitten, or trampled by farm animals.
  • Falling objects – Fruit-picking injuries or falling tools from ladders and elevated platforms.
  • Transportation accidents – Injuries related to trucks, ATVs, or farm vehicles.

If you have suffered any work-related injury while working in agriculture, ranching, or food production, you may be entitled to full workers’ compensation benefits.

What to Do After a Farm or Agricultural Workplace Injury

If you’ve been injured while working in farming, dairy work, food production, or agricultural labor, follow these steps to protect your rights:

  1. Get medical attention immediately. Even minor injuries can worsen without treatment.
  2. Report the injury to your employer and ensure an official accident report is filed.
  3. Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any hazardous conditions.
  4. Collect witness statements from coworkers or supervisors who saw the accident.
  5. Keep records of all medical treatments, lost wages, and communication with your employer or insurance company.
  6. Consult a workers’ compensation lawyer before signing anything. Insurance companies often offer low settlements—make sure you know what you’re entitled to.
  7. File your claim as soon as possible. Waiting too long could result in a denied claim.

At Johnson Sandhu LLP, we will handle your case from start to finish, ensuring you get the maximum compensation available under the law.

Who Can Be Held Responsible for Your Farm or Agricultural Injury?

Most farmworkers and agricultural employees are covered by workers’ compensation, which allows them to recover benefits without proving fault. However, if someone other than your employer contributed to your injury, you may be able to file a third-party claim for additional compensation.

Possible liable parties in agricultural workplace injuries include:

  • Equipment manufacturers if defective tractors, machinery, or tools contributed to your injury.
  • Chemical companies if pesticide exposure caused illness or injury.
  • Property owners if unsafe farm conditions led to your accident.
  • Contractors or farm labor contractors if unsafe work practices contributed to your injury.

If another party’s negligence caused your accident, you may be eligible to recover pain and suffering, full lost wages, and additional compensation beyond workers’ comp.

How Much Compensation Can You Get?

  • Medical expenses (doctor visits, surgery, rehabilitation)
  • Temporary disability benefits if you’re unable to work during recovery
  • Permanent disability benefits if you have lasting impairments
  • Job retraining benefits if you can’t return to your previous role
  • Mileage reimbursement for medical-related travel expenses

If a third party was responsible for your injury, a personal injury lawsuit could secure even more compensation, including:

  • Full lost wages beyond what workers’ comp provides
  • Pain and suffering compensation
  • Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence

California Workers Compensation Claim
GOOGLE RATING:
5/5
My case in particular was a very wonky case where it was over 2 years old and initially had been denied but, Peter worked his magic and got it approved and now it is settling as I write this review. He was also able to double my payout from Workers Comp.
