Getting hurt at work in Glendale puts you inside California's workers' compensation system, with its own forms, deadlines and insurance adjusters. Fault generally plays no part in whether you qualify. Attorney Razmig Maadanian spent the start of his career defending employers and insurers in these cases. Today he represents injured workers from Respaldo Law's office in Pasadena.
How we handle a Glendale claim
- We check that your claim form was filed and that the insurer received it.
- We deal with the adjuster, so you aren't negotiating alone.
- If treatment or benefits are refused, we file with the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board and handle the medical-legal process, including qualified and agreed medical evaluators.
- We review any settlement offer with you before you decide.

If the insurer says no
A denial or a delay letter starts a dispute, and disputes are decided at the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board. Here's what to do next if your claim is denied →
If the case moves toward settlement, we walk you through each option before anything is signed. Compare a C&R and Stips before you decide →
Firing, demoting or otherwise penalizing a worker because they filed, or said they would file, a workers' comp claim is unlawful under Labor Code § 132a.
Questions for Glendale workers
- Does workers' comp cover stress or other psychiatric injuries?
- It can be covered, depending on the circumstances and your length of employment.
- I work part-time. Am I covered?
- Generally, yes. Workers' comp doesn't depend on how many hours you work, so part-time and seasonal employees are included.
- How much does it cost to talk to you?
- There's no charge for the consultation. If we take your case, our fee is a percentage of your recovery, and a workers' comp judge must approve it.
