After sustaining a work-related injury in California, you have a right to compensation from your employer. In addition to medical bills, this compensation can cover retraining for a new position if you are unable to return to your old one, wages lost as you recover from your injury before returning to work as well permanent disability if your injury causes long-term adverse health effects. However, at the law firm of De Ita, Lowe & Wald, we have seen employers retaliate against injured employees, usually by firing them. Employer retaliation against workers' compensation claimants usually stems from financial concerns, as multiple compensation claims can increase your employer's insurance premiums.
Modifying the custody order when life changes
Settling into new schedules and living arrangements in California after a divorce can be challenging. Once the custody proceedings are closed, you may think that you are finished with the courts. At De Ita, Lowe & Wald, LLP., we know that life changes. Instead of struggling with the initial arrangement and dealing with a situation that no longer fits life’s circumstances, you can go back for modifications to the court order.
