Your workplace should be safe. When it’s not, we hold employers and insurers accountable.
By Eman Yazdchi, Esq. · Certified Specialist in Workers' Compensation Law
Every workplace in Pomona carries its own set of dangers, and the variety of injuries we see reflects the breadth of this city's economy. A Cal Poly Pomona custodian develops chronic shoulder pain from years of mopping and vacuuming campus buildings. A forklift operator at a distribution center near the 57 freeway suffers a crushed pelvis when a loaded pallet rack collapses. A line cook in the Downtown Arts Colony spills a vat of boiling oil across his arms. These are not hypothetical scenarios — they represent the types of workplace injuries that Pomona workers bring to our office on a regular basis.
California law provides broad protections for workers who suffer injuries on the job. Under Labor Code section 3600, the workers' compensation system covers virtually every employee, regardless of immigration status, part-time or full-time classification, or how long they have worked for the employer. The system provides medical treatment, wage replacement through temporary disability, permanent disability awards for lasting impairments, and supplemental job displacement benefits when a worker cannot return to their former job. Employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance under Labor Code section 3700, and the penalties for failing to do so are severe, including criminal misdemeanor charges.
What makes workplace injuries in Pomona particularly challenging is the industrial nature of many jobs here. The manufacturing plants that have been part of Pomona's economy for decades use heavy presses, CNC machines, conveyor systems, and industrial chemicals. The food processing facilities that pack and ship produce throughout the country operate with razor-sharp cutting equipment, freezing cold storage units, and high-speed production lines. The warehouses and logistics centers that benefit from Pomona's freeway access demand constant heavy lifting, operation of powered industrial vehicles, and work at heights on elevated racking systems. Each of these environments requires an attorney who understands the specific mechanisms of injury and can effectively challenge the insurance company's attempts to minimize your claim.
Our lead attorney, Eman Yazdchi, is a Board-Certified Specialist in Workers' Compensation Law. He has handled hundreds of workplace injury claims originating from the Pomona area and understands how local industries operate, what hazards they present, and how insurance carriers typically defend against these claims.
Pomona hosts its own WCAB District Office, which serves as a home court for injured workers in eastern LA County and the western Inland Empire. This local board means your case is heard by judges who regularly handle claims from Pomona's industrial employers and understand the working conditions in this community. We appear at the Pomona WCAB frequently, and that familiarity with the local procedures, judicial preferences, and case management expectations allows us to advocate more effectively on your behalf.
Our firm provides services in English, Spanish, and Farsi, reflecting the linguistic diversity of Pomona's workforce. We operate on a contingency fee basis, so there is no upfront cost and no fee unless we recover benefits for you. Eman Yazdchi personally oversees every case rather than delegating to a team of case managers — when you call our office with a question about your claim, you get answers from your attorney.
