Despido Injustificado en California
¿Fue despedido después de una lesión laboral? Llame al (888) 740-6434
Las lesiones en el lugar de trabajo le dan al empleado afectado el derecho a presentar una reclamación de compensación de trabajadores. A pesar de que las leyes de California establecen claramente este derecho, muchos empleadores deciden tomar represalias contra los empleados que no presenten una reclamación que los compense.
Esta venganza puede tener lugar en muchas formas, incluyendo:
- Degradar al empleado
- Discriminar al funcionario
- Despedir al operario por completo
Si bien todas las formas de represalia son ilegales, el último curso de acción es naturalmente el más grave. Si fue despedido después de la presentación de una reclamación de compensación, nosotros en Centro Legal de Pacific Workers queremos ayudarle.

Tome medidas con un abogado de Compensación de Trabajadores en Oakland
Sencillamente, las leyes estatales prohíben a los empleadores a castigar a sus colaboradores por sufrir una lesión en el trabajo o al presentar un reclamo de compensación. A pesar de estas leyes, los empleadores en todo el estado de California persisten en hacer exactamente eso, agravando el sufrimiento que el empleado lesionado debe afrontar.
Es importante señalar también que algunos empresarios intentan crear motivos para el despido de los operarios afectados. Revisiones de rendimiento injustas o las críticas infundadas son frecuentemente utilizadas para encubrir el comportamiento ilegal, provocando que el empleado se pregunte si se merece ser despedido. Independientemente de los detalles de su caso, la importancia de garantizar la representación legal no puede enfatizarse suficientemente.
Nos negamos a que los empleadores salgan con conducta ilegal y podemos evaluar cuidadosamente sus circunstancias para ejecutar el mejor curso de acción. Los empleadores culpables de despido injustificado pueden enfrentarse a sanciones legales, verse obligados a indemnizar o readmitir al empleado, e incluso recibir daños punitivos. Nuestro objetivo en Centro Legal de Pacific Workers es simple: lograr una rápida y eficaz solución a su caso que cumpla cabalmente sus necesidades.
Estamos ansiosos por comenzar a perseguir ese objetivo en su nombre. Póngase en contacto con nuestros abogados de compensación de trabajadores en Oakland hoy mismo y busque resarcimiento de sus pérdidas.

Workers' Comp FAQ
-
Am I Eligible for Workers’ Compensation?
In California, all employees are eligible for workers’ compensation with very few exceptions. If you are classified as an “employee” (rather than an “independent contractor”), you are eligible to receive benefits. This is true regardless of how many employees your employer has, how many hours you work, how much you make, whether you work part-time or full-time, or whether you are a seasonal worker. Additionally, undocumented workers are also eligible for workers’ compensation granted they meet all other eligibility requirements. In contrast, independent contractors and certain other workers, including some volunteers, household workers who are employed by a family member, and others, are not able to file for workers’ compensation benefits.
-
Do independent contractors get workers’ compensation in California?
No, most independent contractors are not covered by workers’ compensation insurance that is provided by their employer. The law does not require most employers to offer this sort of employment benefit to independent contractors. To get workers’ comp as an independent contractor, you will usually have to purchase a policy on your own.
-
Can't I Just File for Workers' Compensation on My Own?
Filing for workers' compensation on your own increases the chances that your claim will be denied. One small misstep can prevent you from obtaining the compensation you need for your injuries. In addition, the process is usually complex and tedious, especially for someone with no workers' compensation law experience. It is extremely advantageous that you seek reliable and experienced legal guidance for your claim.
-
My Employer Said That I’m an Independent Contractor, Not a Regular Employee, so I Can’t Get Benefits. Is This True?
You’re not necessarily an independent contractor by law if the nature of your job doesn’t fit the description, an attorney may help analyze your situation and guide you in this matter. There are high chances of contractors being eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, so it’s always worth trying.
