Injured at Work in Los Angeles? Read How We Won a Trial Against an Abusive Employer

At Telleria, Telleria & Levy, we are proud to fight for hardworking employees who are injured on the job and then mistreated by their employers. This is a real story from a recent workers’ compensation trial in Los Angeles, where we exposed employer abuse and won justice for our client.

A Warehouse Injury That Changed Everything

Our client was working in a Los Angeles warehouse when he picked up a heavy bag containing broken glass. The glass tore through his hand, causing heavy bleeding. Instead of helping him or calling an ambulance, his employer told him to wrap his hand in a towel and keep working.

This wasn’t just an accident. It was a pattern of abuse. This Los Angeles employer forced him to work 12-hour days, 6 days a week, and didn’t even pay minimum wage.

Employer Threats and ER Cover-Up

Two days after the injury, our client’s hand was swollen and infected. He went to the emergency room for treatment. But before he went, his boss threatened him:

“If you tell them this happened at work, you’re fired.”

Afraid of being fired, our client told the hospital staff that he was injured at home. The ER records reflected that false story. Shortly after, his employer fired him anyway, refused to provide workers’ comp paperwork, and left him without medical care or a job.

Taking the Fight to Court — And Winning

At trial, the defense attorney tried to use the hospital records to deny responsibility. But we fought back. We showed the judge how the injury happened at work and how our client was forced to lie under threat of termination. We won. And now, this employer is being held accountable.
