If you were injured in a car accident but weren’t wearing a seatbelt, you may be wondering if you can still pursue compensation for your injuries. The short answer is: yes, you may still be able to file a personal injury claim in California—but your compensation could be reduced.
When you're involved in a car accident, it's already a stressful and potentially traumatic experience. But when the other driver flees the scene—leaving you injured, confused, and without answers—it can feel even more devastating. Unfortunately, hit-and-run accidents are far too common in California, particularly in high-traffic areas like Los Angeles and the surrounding counties.
California labor law is among the most employee-friendly in the nation—and for good reason. Workers are entitled to more than just fair pay; they deserve proper rest during their shifts. That’s why meal and rest break laws are a major part of California’s wage and hour regulations. But not everyone follows the rules.
In the fast-paced world of business, contracts serve as the foundation for virtually every transaction and professional relationship. Whether you’re a small business owner, corporate executive, or independent contractor, understanding California’s Business and Professions Code and how it governs contracts is not optional—it’s essential.
Losing a job is a stressful and overwhelming experience, but when it happens unfairly, it’s even worse. Many employees assume that if they were fired, their employer must have had a good reason. However, the reality is that many terminations are unlawful—but employers don’t want you to know that.
If you’ve been injured in an accident or suffered losses due to someone else’s negligence, you may be tempted to negotiate your settlement alone. Insurance companies and corporations want you to think that hiring a lawyer is unnecessary, but the truth is far from it. Without legal representation, you risk accepting a settlement that is far lower than what you are legally entitled to.
Slip and fall accidents happen every day, but what many victims don’t realize is that property owners and their insurance companies will do everything possible to avoid responsibility. Instead of paying for your medical bills and other damages, they’ll try to blame you for the accident.
If you’re working more than 40 hours a week or over 8 hours a day in California, you may be entitled to overtime pay. However, many employers attempt to cheat workers out of their hard-earned money through illegal tactics. Whether it’s misclassification, wage theft, or pressuring employees to work off the clock, these violations are all too common.
Getting into a car accident is already a stressful experience, but when the other driver is from out of state, things can become even more complicated. Different state laws, insurance policies, and liability rules can all impact how your case is handled. So, what should you do if you're involved in an accident with an out-of-state driver in California?
If you’re considering filing a lawsuit in California, it’s essential to understand the statute of limitations—the legal deadline by which you must take action. Failing to file within the correct time frame can result in your case being dismissed, meaning you may lose your right to seek compensation or justice.
