Fees, Costs and Case Results

Where representation is offered on a contingency basis there is no attorney fee unless we recover, and the firm advances case costs — filing fees, expert witnesses and medical records — which are then repaid out of any recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. The specific terms that apply to a matter are set out in the written fee agreement for that matter.

Where this site refers to a verdict, settlement or court order, that result was dependent on the facts of that case, and results will differ if based on different facts. Past results do not predict or guarantee the outcome of any other matter, and no particular outcome is promised or guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a third-party workplace injury claim in Glendale?
A third-party workplace injury claim allows Glendale workers to sue parties other than their employer who caused or contributed to their workplace injury. In Los Angeles County, this commonly involves entertainment production equipment manufacturers, construction contractors, property owners, and equipment suppliers. Unlike workers' compensation, third-party claims let you recover full damages including pain and suffering.
Can I sue an entertainment production company for my Glendale workplace injury?
Yes. If defective production equipment, faulty rigging, or poorly maintained sets caused your workplace injury at a Glendale production studio, you can file a product liability or negligence claim against the responsible party. These claims are separate from workers' compensation and allow recovery of full compensation including pain and suffering and punitive damages.
What types of entertainment industry injuries qualify for third-party claims in Glendale?
Common entertainment industry injuries that may give rise to third-party claims include set construction accidents caused by contractor negligence, lighting and rigging equipment failures, electrical shock from faulty production equipment, stunt-related injuries caused by defective safety gear, special effects malfunctions, and injuries caused by subcontractor negligence on multi-production studio lots.
How is a third-party claim different from workers' compensation in Glendale?
Workers' compensation provides limited benefits regardless of fault, covering medical bills and partial wages. A third-party claim against a negligent party allows you to recover full compensation including pain and suffering, emotional distress, full lost wages, future earning capacity, and punitive damages. Our Glendale workplace injury lawyers pursue both simultaneously to maximize your recovery.
What compensation can I recover in a Glendale workplace injury lawsuit?
In a third-party workplace injury lawsuit in Glendale, you may recover full medical expenses past and future, complete lost wages and future earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and punitive damages in cases of extreme negligence. Entertainment production, construction, and hospital injury cases often result in substantial recoveries due to the severity of injuries involved.
Can I file a claim for a construction accident in Glendale?
Yes. Construction accidents in Glendale involving third-party negligence are common. Claims may arise from defective scaffolding or crane equipment, subcontractor negligence on multi-employer job sites, unsafe excavation practices, falling materials from improperly secured loads, defective power tools and heavy machinery, and electrical hazards created by utility subcontractors. Our lawyers identify all responsible parties to maximize your recovery.
How long do I have to file a workplace injury lawsuit in Glendale?
California has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including third-party workplace injury lawsuits. For product liability claims against equipment manufacturers, you generally have two years from the date of injury. Toxic exposure cases may have different timelines based on when you discovered the illness. Contact a Glendale workplace injury lawyer immediately.
Who can be held liable for a hospital worker injury in Los Angeles County?
Third parties liable for hospital worker injuries in Los Angeles County include medical equipment manufacturers, maintenance contractors, pharmaceutical suppliers, construction firms working on hospital renovations, elevator and escalator companies, and cleaning chemical suppliers. Our Glendale lawyers investigate every party involved in the workplace to identify all sources of liability and insurance coverage.
What should I do after a workplace injury in Glendale?
After a workplace injury in Glendale, seek immediate medical attention, report the injury to your supervisor, document the scene with photos if possible, collect witness information, file a workers' compensation claim, preserve any evidence of defective equipment, and consult a workplace injury attorney about potential third-party claims before giving any recorded statements.
Can retail workers file third-party injury claims in Glendale?
Yes. Glendale retail and shopping center workers injured due to third-party negligence can pursue claims against equipment manufacturers, maintenance contractors, delivery companies, escalator and elevator service companies, and construction firms. Common injuries include slip-and-fall injuries from contractor negligence, loading dock accidents involving trucking companies, and injuries from defective store fixtures or equipment.
What types of warehouse injuries qualify for third-party claims in Glendale?
Warehouse injuries in Glendale that may support third-party claims include forklift accidents caused by defective equipment, conveyor belt injuries from manufacturing defects, falling merchandise due to defective shelving systems, loading dock accidents involving trucking companies, and exposure to hazardous materials from improper labeling by chemical suppliers.
Can I sue a subcontractor for my construction injury in Glendale?
Yes. If a subcontractor's negligence caused your injury at a Glendale construction site, you can file a third-party claim against that subcontractor and their employer. Construction projects in Glendale typically involve multiple contractors working simultaneously, creating numerous potential third-party claims. Our lawyers investigate the chain of command to identify all responsible parties.
