Industrious Cowork Office Space Rental Accident Attorney
The concept of coworking is based on workers from different companies using an office or other workspace at the same facility. Coworking space providers may use an entire building or part of a building, where members have the option of renting an office, conference room, cubicle space, etc. This is a popular option among remote workers and independent contractors, who do not report to work at a traditional office setting. However, some businesses also have spaces for their employees if they need a fully furnished meeting or workspace at the last minute.
Industrious is a flexible workspace provider with membership plans that allow you to use an office and associated services in over 65 cities around the world. Many of these people can work from home, but find that it’s less distracting to have a devoted workspace. Others travel regularly for their job and find that a fully equipped, professional setting is preferable to working out of a hotel room. In addition, you can get out of the house and meet people from other companies, thereby satisfying the need for socialization and being part of a community.
As you can see, there are various reasons as to why someone would pay into a membership with Industrious. But now that we’ve gone over the positives, we also have to look at problems you may run into, like who is liable if you get hurt at an Industrious office space? Workspace accidents, like slip and falls, trip and falls, and broken chair incidents are usually covered by workers’ compensation, but you may not be eligible for this benefit as an independent contractor or remote worker.
This article will inform you of your rights as someone that was injured while working at a space rented from Industrious. Whether you had a trip and fall or you were a victim of assault and battery at Industrious, you have the right to seek compensation if the accident was a result of someone else’s negligence. Figuring out who is responsible for accidents at a coworking space can be very challenging, so it’s important to discuss your case with an experienced personal injury lawyer.

The procedure to file an accident claim depends on who is legally responsible (liable) for the condition that caused you to be injured. For example, if you slipped and fell down at a grocery store from water on the floor, you would file a claim against the business owner / company. And as we said before, it you got hurt during the course of your job duties, you normally file a claim for workers’ compensation.
However, an office space rental contract is between you and a party other than your employer. Based on the fact that you pay a membership fee, you have the right to expect that the premises are clean, safe, and maintained on a regular basis. In essence, the company owes you a duty of care as one of their clients. This includes reasonable security measures, like surveillance cameras and secure locks on doors that can keep people from being physically or sexually assaulted.
Based on the principle of premises liability, it would seem that you would file a claim with Industrious for any accidents on the property. However, there may be another party that is ultimately responsible – or shares liability with Industrious when someone is injured. For example, the property itself may be under management by a separate company, which is very common when a business has many locations all over the world. So, if an object fell off the side of the building and hit you in the head, you may have to sue a property management firm rather than Industrious.
Let’s look at another example where an Industrious client or guest is injured from a chair collapse. It’s discovered that the chair has been recently recalled due to a design flaw that can cause the legs to come apart. Here, you have a situation where the product manufacturer may be liable, since there was an issue with the chair that occurred during the manufacturing process.

Injury claims for accidents at coworking spaces may be worth between $10,000 to $2,000,000, so at the end of the day, there are many factors that set one case apart from another. The majority of clients we represent here at DTLA Law Group receive around $125,000 to $500,000, but the actual amount will depend on your injuries, how they affect your life, the defendant’s role in causing / contributing to the accident, and other elements. This is why a detailed discussion with one of our legal experts is essential when you are in need of compensation for an accident that was caused by someone else.
How Long Do these Cases Take to Settle?Injury claims for accidents at Industrious can settle in just a few months for mild to moderate injuries. But if you have serious injuries, particularly ones that result in disability and other lifelong issues, it can take 1 to 2 years to negotiate an adequate settlement award. When we set out to recover payment on behalf of a client, we try our hardest to bring about a resolution within 6 months. But the amount of time to investigate an accident, prepare a lawsuit, and negotiate a settlement takes over 12 months for the vast majority of cases. Claims that must be tried in court take the longest to settle – over 3 years on average – but we want to assure you that over 95% of premises liability claims are settled without the need for a trial date.
For most cases of premises liability, the time limit for a lawsuit is 2 years from the date of injury. In other words, you have 2 years from whenever you had the accident to file a claim against Industrious or any other entity that failed in their duty of care to you.
If you are a victim of sexual assault, the statute of limitations is 10 years. This is a considerable increase from the 2-year deadline for a personal injury claim. However, you should still talk to a lawyer right away and start the process of gathering evidence and building a case for compensation.
If you are past the statute of limitations for a lawsuit, there are very few exceptions that will be allowed by the court system. As a result, most people who wait too long to file a claim lose the right to sue, even if the other party is clearly responsible for what happened. That’s why we implore you to contact our office as soon as possible.
Free Legal Services from a Personal Injury AttorneyRemote working and other non-traditional work arrangements can benefit both the employer and employee in many ways. But there’s no denying that workers are at a disadvantage when they sustain injuries somewhere other than a traditional place of employment.
The lawyers of DTLA are here to provide with you with advice and guidance. We also have a Zero Fee Guarantee policy, which offers you free legal services from the very first consultation. Instead of charging our clients, we ask that the negligent party covers the cost of legal fees. That way, you pay $0 out of pocket, and we only get paid by recovering your settlement, which includes our expenses.
