- GuardianshipIn 1991, California’s Legislature passed the revised Elder and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act (the Act) with changes aimed at protecting elders (defined as persons 65 years of age and older) and dependent adults (ages of 18 and 65 years of age and confined to care facilities) who, because of a mental or physical deficiency, are under the care or guardianship of another. The Act as revised defines elder abuse as “physical abuse, neglect, financial abuse, abandonment, isolation, abduction, or other treatment with resulting physical harm or pain or mental suffering, or the deprivation by a care custodian of goods or services that are necessary to avoid physical harm or mental suffering.”

- Property DamageIf you or a loved one have been injured in an accident, you are probably feeling overwhelmed with all of the medical appointments, pain and suffering, doctor’s bills, missed work, rental car reimbursement, property damage to your vehicle, and related expenses. These problems and others face everyone that is involved in an accident, and dealing with them in a time of crisis and turmoil can be overwhelming.
- Personal InjuryThe requisite injury can either by physical or, in some cases, emotional. The general goal of personal injury actions is to place the blame for the injury on the party who caused it and to require them to compensate the injured person for the losses sustained.
