Industrial jobs are notoriously dangerous. Few jobs pose a greater risk to worker safety and health. Federal laws and state regulations have tried to come up with solutions to keep workers safe.
However, job safety ultimately lies in the hands of the employer. Industrial employers have an obligation to hire qualified applicants, train their employees properly, and provide the safest possible workspace. However, employers in Los Angeles often fall short.

Getting hurt on the job can be incredibly overwhelming. Things can get even more stressful when you try to recover compensation for your workplace injuries. Insurance companies will do whatever they can to limit or deny your payout.

There are traditionally two ways to get money if you’re an injured worker in California.
Most employers in California are required to carry a workers’ compensation insurance policy. If you get hurt on the job and your employer offers coverage, you can seek benefits for your medical bills and lost wages. You generally waive the right to sue your employer if you seek workers’ compensation benefits.
Under a workers’ compensation program, you probably won’t be able to use your own doctor. You’ll have to seek treatment from a physician who’s been pre-approved by your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance company. When you do receive benefits, there will be strict limits about what you can be compensated for, as well as how much you can receive.
You may also have the option to file a personal injury lawsuit. Can you sue your employer? Maybe, if they don’t have workers’ compensation insurance or you aren’t covered by their policy. You may also be able to sue your industrial employer if you got hurt because of their willful actions or gross negligence.
Alternatively, you may be able to recover compensation from a negligent third party. For example, if you were injured because of a defective piece of heavy machinery at work, you could target the manufacturer in a lawsuit.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed after you’re involved in an industrial or construction site accident. The costs can be too much to handle on your own. Fortunately, you might be able to seek compensation from your employer, a workers’ compensation insurance policy, or a negligent third party. The damages you can get depends on where the money comes from.
Workers’ Compensation Benefits. Under California’s workers’ compensation law, you can receive compensation for medical expenses and lost wages. If you suffer a permanent disability, you may also be entitled to money for your reduced earning capacity.
Personal Injury Lawsuit. If you file a lawsuit, you’re entitled to ask for any economic and non-economic damages you’ve sustained. This can include money for:

It depends. If you want to recover money from a workers’ compensation program, you’ll have to act quickly. You’ll only have 30 days from the date of your industrial accident to notify your employer and their insurance company. Waiting any longer can cause you to lose out on valuable compensation.
If you decide to file a lawsuit, there’s still only a limited amount of time to do so. The statute of limitations for bodily injury claims is two years. You will lose the right to demand compensation if you don’t file your claim with the court on time.

“Mr. Glotzer represented me after I was involved in a car accident. I was badly injured,but the insurance company refused to offer me a reasonable settlement. I decided to find an attorney and decided to hire Josh.
His law firm did a great job on my case. They were very responsive to all my questions and obtained a great resolution for me. I received way more money than was originally offered. I would recommend their firm to friends and family.”
“Mr. Josh Glotzer is a great attorney. Over the last 15 years he has helped me on a number of cases with professionalism, and more importantly a positive outcome in my favor. I have referred him to a number of friends and colleagues, all of which have been equally as happy with his legal representation. I trust him and confident in legal ability. I highly recommend his law firm.”
“Don’t try to deal with insurance companies on your own. They strung me along for almost two years before I gave the case to Glotzer & Leib. Josh and his team quickly obtained a settlement that netted me many times what the insurance company was offering. Thank You!”
“My wife was in a car accident last year and Josh did an amazing job representing her. It’s very refreshing to see someone in his profession that actually cares and puts his clients first. He’s the best in the business and I feel so fortunate that I was referred to him. Keep up the great work and thanks for everything you did for my family!”
“I was in a rear end car accident last year and hired Mr. Glotzer’s office. It wasn’t a big case but their office helped me with my property damage claim and did a good job resolving the injury portion of the case as well.”
