     12
          administered by Sedgwick Claims Management Services) at the time of the incident.                    Plaintiff made a
     13
          workers’ compensation claim, which Viacom paid.             Viacom moves for leave to intervene in the action at

                       Labor Code §§3852 and 3853 make clear that an employer against whom a claim for worker's
     17
          compensation damages was made may join in an action against a third party arising out of the incident for
     18
          which the worker’s compensation payment was made.                 §3850(b) defines “employer” to include the
     19
          employer's insurer.
