Regus PLC (IWG) Coworking Space Accident Injury Lawyer
Regus was an office space provider that was founded in 1989, and now goes by the name IWG plc. In the beginning, the company’s mission was to offer flexible workspace options for people in Brussels, Belgium. Eventually, they opened facilities in Latin America and China, but in 2003, they were taken over by IWG after filing for bankruptcy. Currently, IWG plc has fully furnished offices and workspace locations in 120 countries, including the U.S.
IWG members have a variety of plans to choose from, which allows them to use an office, creative space, conference room, etc. whenever they need it. Thus, it’s an ideal solution for remote workers and independent contractors, or workers who are frequently traveling from one place to another. While these individual can work from home or anywhere they please, distractions and social isolation can be challenging to deal. As a result, it can be helpful to “clock in” at a fully equipped office building on a regular or occasional basis. Members also have the option of paying a monthly fee rather than signing a long-term lease.
Now that we’ve talked about the positives, we also have to look at the challenges of renting from an office operator like Regus PLC. A major downside involves accidents during your work shift, which can happen in a variety of ways:
- Slip and fall from water and other substances on the floor
- Trip and fall accidents
- Injured by a falling object
- Chair collapse or broken chair incidents
- Assault and battery at IWG plc
- Sexual assault
- Building collapse accidents (collapsing ceiling, roof, deck, etc.)
When the people in charge take good care of these spaces and provide adequate security for their clients, working at an IWG serviced office can be a pleasant experience. However, negligence is quite common at cowork office buildings, and as a result, people end up being assaulted or injured from an accident. The Regus PLC accident attorneys at our office can help you file a claim for monetary damages, like medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Yes, you can sue IWG if you had an accident on the premises due to a condition that clearly had the potential to cause harm. For example, you may have tripped over wires and cables that were not properly secured or fell down the stairs due to a broken or poorly designed handrail. The legal principle you are relying on is premises liability, which obligates property owners to maintain reasonably safe conditions at all times. The challenge is to figure out who is liable for the accident, which may be one or more entities.
Certainly, IWG may be responsible, as you are paying them a fee to use their services, i.e., a fully furnished office space. But the actual building where the space is rented from may be owned by a company other than IWG. If so, an accident claim may need to be filed against the building owner as opposed to the office provider, or you may have a claim against both of these entities.
We also have to figure out if there is a separate company that’s in charge of managing the property. This is very common in situations where one company has many locations around the world, and needs to hire local management companies for cleaning, repairs, and other maintenance issues. At the end of the day, knowing who you can sue for being injured at a coworking space facility is not an easy question to answer. That’s why guidance from an office space provider accident lawyer is crucial for anyone who was injured at an office space managed by IWG.
How to File a Claim against IWG for an AccidentThe procedures for how to file an injury claim against IWG is based on who is ultimately responsible for the accident. As previously stated, IWG may be the one and only entity that is liable for the ham you suffered. But the contracts between IWG and the property manager, building owner, etc., may indicate that liability is split between two or more of these entities. So, you may need to file more than one claim, which can be quite difficult to manage on your own. An IWG office space accident attorney at our office can file the necessary paperwork on your behalf and fight to secure the highest possible settlement.
To ensure that you have the necessary evidence, please get medical attention right away and save any receipts, records, etc., that have to do with your injuries. Evidence of bodily harm is the foundation of any accident claim, and it must be established right away that you were injured as a direct result of the accident. We can help you collect other forms of proof and build a solid case for compensation against IWG and others who failed in their duty of care to you.

In some cases – typically, those involving minor to moderate injuries – a settlement may be reached within a few months. However, the majority of claims for accidents on commercial premises takes 8 to 12 months, and even longer, based on the degree of injury, number of defendants, cause of the accident, and many other issues. Overall, we are prepared to invest anywhere from 1 to 2 years on these lawsuits, and even longer in the event your case is tried in court. Overall, there’s very little chance that your case will go before a jury, since 95% of all injury claims are resolved by negotiating a settlement that’s agreeable to both sides.
