Descriptiontext

Shegerian & Associates is a Los Angeles-headquartered plaintiff-side law firm that represents individual employees and personal-injury victims on a contingency-fee basis. The firm was founded in 1996 by Carney R. Shegerian and operates through six offices across California (Los Angeles with two locations, San Francisco, Riverside, San Diego) and New York. Its core practice is employment and labor law, encompassing discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, retaliation, FMLA/CFRA violations, whistleblower claims, unpaid wages, and hostile work environment matters, supplemented by a personal injury practice covering auto, trucking, catastrophic injury, nursing home abuse, and wrongful death.

The firm's commercial model is contingency-based — clients pay no fees unless the firm wins — combined with free initial case evaluations. Case acquisition runs through a multi-channel marketing footprint including Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, a dedicated blog, and earned-media coverage of high-visibility cases. The firm has institutionalized operations through named director roles for case intake, staffing, and operations, alongside a shareholder tier that includes a dedicated trial strategist serving as jury consultant.

Documented case outcomes include a $155.4 million jury verdict in Rudnicki v. Farmers (2021), a $103 million age discrimination verdict in Slagel v. Liberty Mutual described as the largest in U.S. history (2025), and a $32.2 million disability discrimination verdict described as the largest non-EEOC verdict in history, alongside a stated 98% success rate. The firm is privately held by its founder, with no evidence of external investors, parent company control, or public capital raises.

The jury found that Equinox failed to provide reasonable accommodations for his documented medical condition and did not engage in the interactive process required under California law, and found in favor of Hugyetz on all causes of action. The verdict, which includes $24 million in punitive damages, represents one of the largest disability discrimination verdicts of the year and highlights significant legal and financial exposure for employers failing to accommodate disabled workers.PR NewswireShegerian & Associates: L.A.

Simers who won a verdict against the newspaper in January 2022 for discriminatory demotion based on age and disability. The fee award, one of the largest in the history of California's Fair Employment and Housing Act, brings Simers' total recovery against the L.A. Times to $4,725,788.55.
