At Telleria, Telleria & Levy, we represent the people who make our cities run — often in the shadows, often overlooked, but always essential. Today, I want to share a case that touched me deeply and shows just how far we’ll go for justice.

15 Years Folding Laundry — Then Her Body and Mind Broke Down

My client spent nearly 15 years working in a laundromat in Los Angeles County, folding clothes, lifting laundry bags, and performing the same physical tasks day in and day out. At first glance, you might think it’s a standard orthopedic case — and yes, she suffered serious injuries to her back, shoulders, and hands.

But that’s just the beginning.

Her manager constantly pushed her — demanding faster work, longer hours, more output. The pressure built up over time, until she couldn’t handle it anymore. She eventually had to go on temporary disability because both her body and mind were breaking down.

We Fought and Won on Multiple Fronts

We filed a comprehensive cumulative trauma claim that covered not just her orthopedic injuries, but also her psychiatric injuries due to work-related stress.

Our doctors agreed that her depression and anxiety were caused by her work. She also has diabetes and hypertension, which we successfully argued were aggravated by the stress and physical pain — making them compensable under California Workers’ Compensation law.

Then the unimaginable happened…

A Stroke Changed Everything

Recently, she suffered a stroke. She was hospitalized and now requires 24-hour care and rehabilitation. And I firmly believe this stroke is work-related — the final consequence of years of orthopedic pain, psychological stress, elevated blood pressure, and mismanaged diabetes — all rooted in her work environment.

We’re Demanding Millions — And We Won’t Back Down

I just finished writing a comprehensive demand letter to the insurance company. It took hours, and it includes everything: medical evidence, legal theory, and a detailed account of how her job slowly destroyed her health.

We are demanding millions of dollars in compensation — because that’s what it will take to support her long-term care, treatment, and quality of life. This employer is going to pay for the damage they caused.
