WORKFORCE PROBLEMS WHICH WORKERS FACE TODAY
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, injuries to farm workers are on the rise. A study in 2008 revealed that CA is among the top 3 states when it comes to fatalities among oilfield and farm workers. Poor practices and hazardous work environments often result in accidents and injuries to employees.
Numerous studies have found people who work around diesel trucks and oil refineries have a high incidence of cancer, stroke and other neurological disorders. We represent farm workers not only in their claim for injuries arising out of accidents but also for cumulative injuries that occur over long periods of time, including back problems, joint problems and other disabilities that occur after years of performing heavy labor.
