A controversial issue has arisen regarding whether or not an illegal immigrant should pursue a California worker’s compensation claim against his employer despite his immigration status. Attorney Dan Gilleon of the San Diego trial law firm of Mitchell | Gilleon explains the situation to KGTV Channel 10 in San Diego.
(Vocus/PRWEB ) May 19, 2010 -- Attorney Daniel Gilleon of the San Diego law firm Mitchell | Gilleon (http://www.mglawyers.com) recently appeared on KGTV Channel 10 in San Diego to explain the firm’s advocacy of an illegal immigrant who filed a worker’s compensation claim against his employer for injuries suffered on the job despite the alleged threats made against him for proceeding with said claim.
On May 16, 2010, Attorney Dan Gilleon was interviewed by KGTV Channel 10 in San Diego regarding a worker’s compensation claim filed by one of the firm’s clients who is an illegal immigrant. The worker was injured on a horse farm in Escondido in April when he claims to have touched a horse fence that severely injured his hand with an electric shock. The injury sent heat to the injured hand that melted the worker’s wedding ring into his finger, severing it and requiring skin grafts to treat the injury.
The worker was allegedly told by his employer not to file a California worker’s compensation claim or else he would be deported and the man’s pregnant wife would be forced to raise their child alone. Attorney Gilleon explained to the public that this worker is a human being and has legal rights, and the broadcast mentioned that according to the California Supreme Court, illegal immigrants can pursue worker’s compensation claims for injuries suffered on the job.
