Criminal Law

• Wrongful Death
  Wrongful Death Claims are claims are brought on behalf of the decedent’s estate and decedent’s heirs. Wrongful death claims occur when someone’s negligence or intentional conduct causes death.
• Arson
  Fire claims often are denied when your insurance company decides that the cause of the fire was arson or vandalism.  In reviewing your insurance policy your intentional conduct is excluded, not the intentional conduct of a third person that decides to burn your house, business, or building.

Employment Law

• Wrongful Termination
  In Erlich, the California Supreme Court generally discussed the differences between tort and contract claims...However, the California Supreme Court clarified that “conduct amounting to a breach of contract becomes tortious only when it also violates a duty independent of the contract arising from principles of tort law.” Id. at 983....The Court further explained that “[t]ort damages have been permitted in contract cases where a breach of duty directly cause physical injury; for breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing in insurance contracts; for wrongful discharge in violation of fundamental public policy; or where the contract was fraudulently induced.......Rather, as the California Supreme Court made clear, a plaintiff may assert a tort claim, in addition to contract claims, if he based the tort claim on conduct, independent of the mere act of breach of contract. See also Lazar v. Sup. Ct., 12 Cal 4th 631, 49 Cal. Rptr. 2d 377, 909 P. 2s 981, 985 (Cal. 1996) (“In [cases of promissory fraud]. The [plaintiff’s claim does not depend upon whether the defendant’s promise is ultimately enforceable as a contract. “if it is enforceable, the [plaintiff] has a cause of action in tort as an alternative at least, and perhaps in some instances in addition to his cause of action on the contract.’” (citation omitted)....No Cost Conf., Inc. v. Windstream Communs., Inc. 940 F. Supp. 2d at 1301-1302.
