Oxnard WCAB District Office

Yazdchi Law P.C. is a Palmdale firm and has no office inside this WCAB building. Eman Yazdchi, California State Bar #285231, reviews each California workers' compensation matter individually. Call (661) 273-1780 or use the contact form to ask about a claim connected to this office.

Which cases are heard at the Oxnard office?

Only claims where California law sets venue in that area, not every claim connected to Oxnard, belong at this office.

California Labor Code section 5501.5 sets venue for a workers' compensation case. A worker files an application for adjudication of claim in the county where they live on the filing date, the county where the injury (or, for a cumulative injury, the last exposure) happened, or the county where their attorney's main office sits, if they have one. When that county holds more than one appeals board office, the claim goes to whichever office fits those facts. When it holds none, the claim goes to the nearest qualifying office instead.

The DWC ZIP code locator is a faster way to see which office usually handles a given ZIP code. DWC's own listing assigns 56 ZIP codes to the Oxnard office, reaching Oxnard and these nearby cities:

• Oxnard
• Camarillo
• Fillmore
• Moorpark
• Oak Park
• Ojai
• Port Hueneme
• Santa Paula
• Simi Valley
• Thousand Oaks
• Ventura
• Westlake Village

DWC's listing places each of these cities fully inside the Oxnard office's ZIP coverage. Even so, the locator stays a convenience tool: it does not overrule section 5501.5, and it does not decide venue for one particular claim.

What happens at the Oxnard office?

Judges hold workers' compensation hearings there, and two DWC units based at the office help with disability ratings and general claim questions.

DWC lists a Disability Evaluation Unit and an Information and Assistance Unit inside the Oxnard building. The Information and Assistance Unit, sometimes shortened to I&A, helps an injured worker who does not already have a lawyer understand forms and the claims process, though it does not represent anyone or argue a case. DWC's Virtual Courtroom Resources page lists status conferences, mandatory settlement conferences, priority conferences, and lien conferences as its current hearing types. The office also runs a free injured-worker workshop at this location by Zoom at 3 p.m., in English on the first Friday of each month and in Spanish on the third Friday.

Can I attend an Oxnard WCAB hearing by phone or video?

Usually yes. DWC moved most conference-type hearings onto a video platform in 2025, and every courtroom still keeps a call-in option.

Since March 3, 2025, DWC has run status conferences, mandatory settlement conferences, priority conferences, and lien conferences on its CourtCall Video Platform instead of telephone conference lines. Each judge keeps a separate virtual courtroom, and every courtroom also keeps a call-in number for a party who cannot join by video. Trials, lien trials, and expedited hearings still require an in-person appearance. Because access links and call-in numbers change by judge and by hearing date, this page does not publish one; use the official Virtual Courtroom Resources page or the instructions on your own hearing notice instead.

How do I get to the Oxnard office, and is parking free?

Yes. DWC describes a large free parking lot at the building, and Gold Coast Transit bus service also reaches the area.

The official Oxnard office page links turn-by-turn driving directions for drivers and notes that Gold Coast Transit, the local bus system, publishes its own schedules and fares for anyone arriving by bus. For drivers, DWC describes a large parking lot at the building with free parking.

What should I bring to an Oxnard WCAB hearing or filing?

Bring your hearing notice or claim number and any paperwork you want filed, since the lobby's information desk date stamps and files documents during walk-through hours.

DWC's own page says the lobby accepts documents for date stamping and filing at its information desk during the walk-through hours listed above. Bring a photo ID, your claim number, and the hearing notice or letter that brought you to this office, so staff can match your paperwork to your file. If unsure which documents a hearing needs, ask the Information and Assistance Unit above or the DWC Information Services Center at 1-800-736-7401.

Still unsure this is your office, or want a lawyer to look at your claim?

Start with whatever document you already have. A hearing notice, an Information and Assistance letter, or a claim number says more about your specific case than any general page can. If your claim might actually sit somewhere else, such as a different home county, job-site county, or attorney's-office county, see the directory of every WCAB district office. For the immediate area, see the Oxnard, Ventura, and Camarillo guides.
