If you’ve been injured on the job, you’ve likely been receiving workers’ compensation. You may not be aware of the option of a third-party claim. Because workers’ compensation payouts tend to be low (in 2020, the state of California paid out only $1.56 per $100 of payroll), your compensation likely won’t cover all the costs associated with your injury, leaving you to pick up the balance.

Pedestrians are supposed to have the right of way in any traffic situation. Unfortunately, some drivers fail to abide by these rules, which can result in significant injuries or even death for the pedestrian. The victims of pedestrian accidents often face a long, grueling road to recovery and face not only physical burdens but financial and emotional burdens as well.

Whether you operate a commercial vehicle and were involved in an accident, or have been in a collision with a tractor-trailer, it is important to choose a lawyer you can count on. These types of incidents often come with their own set of circumstances that make them more complicated than other vehicle accidents.
