If you’ve been injured on the job in Bakersfield or anywhere in Kern County, you don’t have to face the workers’ compensation system alone. Whether you’re a farmworker in Wasco, a warehouse employee in Shafter, or a nurse in Bakersfield, California law guarantees you the right to medical treatment and disability benefits after a work-related injury. But getting those benefits isn’t always easy.
At Employees First Labor Law, we help injured workers in Kern County fight back against denied claims, delayed treatment, and employer retaliation. Our team of experienced attorneys knows the local landscape—and we’re ready to help you win.

Why Your Workers’ Comp Claim Might Be Denied or Delayed
Even with a valid claim, the insurance company may try to:
- Deny your injury happened at work (AOE/COE dispute)
- Delay medical treatment or deny diagnostic testing
- Undervalue your disability payments
- Claim you’re ready to return to work before you’re healed
- Retaliate against you for reporting the injury
We don’t let that happen. EFLL fights to protect your medical care, disability pay, and future.

We know how to win in Kern County—and we treat every client like family.
