• Wrongful Death
• Robbery
  Stress is another major source of workplace injuries or illnesses for retail clerks. First, there is the potential for violence. According to a study conducted by the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries, 91 percent of grocery store fatalities resulted from assaults or violent acts, mostly homicides. In 78 percent of the homicide cases, robbery was the motive.

Employment Law

• Workers Compensation
  Throughout the course of any Workers' Compensation case, an injured worker will receive a wide variety of forms, regarding everything from medical treatment to financial benefits. It is extremely important to read the forms carefully, and contact an attorney to confirm what action, if any, needs to be taken. Keep in mind that many of these forms include strict timelines that must be met.
• Employment Discrimination
  These often involve spinal injury, brain injury and wrongful death. The Personal Injury attorneys in our referral network also represent victims of employment discrimination on the basis of religion, race, age, gender or disability. They have developed a reputation for effectively representing employees who are harmed at work as a result of injury, occupational illness, exposure or continuous trauma that develops over time.
• Sexual Harassment

Property Law

• Premises Liability
• Property Damage
  And, the statistics bear this out: according to a survey published by the American Psychological Association, 80 percent of teachers questioned were victimized at least once in the current school year or the prior year.  Educators in Los Angeles report being victims of assaults, shootings, lockdowns, stabbings, property damage, threats of injury and, even, death. Perpetrators include students, parents and members of community.

• Personal Injury
  Our combined Workers' Comp and Personal Injury expertise gives us a "big picture" view of your case so we can avoid the limitations of approaching your case from only a Personal Injury or Workers' Comp perspective. For example, a settlement under Workers' Comp may be used to reduce your Personal Injury settlement, and vice versa. We are positioned to maximize your overall potential recovery by looking at your situation as a whole.
• Medical Malpractice
  Howard made the logistics of a long-distance case simple. I live in the Boston area and had a medical malpractice case in Los Angeles. A Massachusetts law firm recommended Howard based on good feedback from previous referrals. I met him while on a business trip to Los Angeles and was immediately impressed with his professionalism. He and his associate Gary Stern thoroughly understood the issues of my case and gave me the confidence to proceed. They maintained regular communication by email and phone so I always knew where I stood. Whenever I called with a question, they responded immediately. When I had to fly out for depositions, they arranged for them to be held in their office and referred me to a hotel virtually across the street. I am very pleased with the outcome of the case. I have already recommended Howard to a friend and would definitely recommend him to others.
• Social Security Disability
  If you have an injury or illness serious enough to prevent you from returning to work, you may be eligible for Social Security disability. To qualify, you must have paid into the Social Security system in 20 of the last 40 quarters and are likely to be off work at least one full year. If you feel this applies to you, contact your attorney for more information.
