The sudden impact of a car accident can cause extensive damage to vehicles and people alike. Although many victims are able to escape with minor injuries, others suffer catastrophic injuries. Brain and spinal cord injuries are among the most severe injuries that can be suffered, and they can leave individuals forever changed. Far too often these victims are left with permanent disabilities that are expensive to treat and prevent them from living what they once considered a normal life.

We fight for those in California facing workplace retaliation
Discrimination and harassment are all too common occurrences in the workplace. Despite efforts made by federal and state governments, as well as nonprofit organizations and even some businesses, bad actors continue to perpetuate hostile work environments throughout California. Although there are laws designed to protect workers who have the strength and courage to step forward and take action against those who have harassed them or discriminated against them, oftentimes simply bringing these actions to an employer's attention can result in retaliation.
Employment law: what is retaliation?
Friction in the workplace can not only make it challenging for work to be conducted, but it can stifle relationships and lead to allegations of illegal acts. Quite often this is seen in the context of discrimination and harassment, as well as retaliation. Of course, it is illegal for an employer in California to discriminate against a job applicant or employee based on classifications such as age, race and religion, but it is also illegal for an employer to retaliate when allegations of discrimination or harassment are brought to its attention or are reported to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
