By Eman Yazdchi, Esq. · Certified Specialist in Workers' Compensation Law
A work injury can derail your life in an instant. One moment you are loading crates at Port Hueneme, picking strawberries on a farm along Gonzales Road, or operating machinery at a food processing plant — and the next, you are in pain, unable to work, and unsure how you will support your family. If this has happened to you in Oxnard, you need a work injury lawyer who can step in immediately and protect your rights under California's workers' compensation system.
At Yazdchi Law P.C., we represent injured workers across Oxnard and Ventura County. Our lead attorney, Eman Yazdchi, is a Board-Certified Specialist in Workers' Compensation Law — a credential that reflects years of focused experience and a rigorous examination process administered by the State Bar of California. When your livelihood is on the line, that level of specialization matters.
Oxnard's economy exposes workers to an unusually wide range of injury risks. The agricultural sector — anchored by strawberry farming that has earned Oxnard its reputation as the Strawberry Capital of California — produces injuries from repetitive bending, prolonged sun exposure, and contact with pesticides. The Port of Hueneme, California's only deep-water port between Los Angeles and San Francisco, generates dock worker injuries including back strains, crush injuries, and falls. Civilian employees at Naval Base Ventura County face hazards in maintenance shops, construction zones, and logistics operations. And throughout the city, construction crews, food processing workers, and retail employees all face daily risks that can result in serious injuries.
We handle all of these cases. More importantly, we understand the specific challenges that Oxnard workers face when pursuing their claims. Many of our clients are Spanish-speaking farmworkers or laborers who worry that filing a claim will cost them their job. We speak Spanish in our office, and we make sure every client understands that California law — specifically Labor Code section 132a — prohibits employers from retaliating against workers who file workers' comp claims. You have the right to seek benefits, and we will enforce that right.
Our firm combines board-certified legal expertise with genuine familiarity with Oxnard's workplaces and workforce. We have visited the fields, we understand the operations at the port and the base, and we know the insurance companies and defense attorneys who handle claims in this area. When your case goes before the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board — conveniently located right here in Oxnard — we walk into that hearing room with thorough preparation and a command of the local process.
We operate on a contingency fee basis: you pay nothing unless we recover benefits for you. This means there is no financial risk in picking up the phone and telling us what happened.

Tap to call →After your free initial consultation, we move quickly. California Labor Code section 5405 gives you one year from the date of injury to file a claim — but the sooner we begin, the stronger your case. We will file your claim with the employer's insurance carrier, ensure you are seeing an appropriate treating physician, and begin gathering the medical evidence needed to support your temporary disability, permanent disability, and medical treatment benefits. If the insurer delays or denies your claim, we file your case with the Oxnard WCAB and push toward a hearing. Because the board is in your city, the process is as streamlined as it can be.
