‘Drowned’ in Liabilities

Private pools are meant to provide fun, comfort, and convenience. Unfortunately, they have also been the scene of accidental drownings, many of which involve children. Dealing with the death of your own child can be devastating and it is your right to pursue justice especially if the accident occurred in someone else’s private residence. A Los Angeles wrongful death attorney can help you hold them accountable for the untimely death of your child.

How a Personal Injury Attorney Can Assist Clients When Filing a Claim


After an accident, many Los Angeles residents wonder whether they should hire an attorney. A personal injury attorney can help accident victims sort through the emotional turmoil and stress of an automobile accident. Attorneys help their clients get compensation for injuries and damages to the vehicle. They represent clients in personal injury court battles. Most importantly, they give clients advice on how to deal with insurance companies. When a person is injured in an automobile accident, his first priority is getting medical care. The longer a person waits to get treated after an automobile accident, the harder it is to prove that the injuries he sustained came from the car accident. If you were not at fault for the accident, the other driver’s liability insurance will cover your medical bills. If the driver who hit you was uninsured, the underinsured motorist part of your policy should cover you.

Explaining the Different Defenses a DUI Lawyer Can Use in Court


Annually, thousands of individuals are pulled over and arrested for driving while under the influence in the United States. Los Angeles is no exception to this rule. California is known for being a state that has very harsh DUI laws and punishments. A person may find himself losing his license, paying stiff fines, and spending some time in jail. There are different strategies, however, that a lawyer in Los Angeles specializing in DUIs can use to mount a defense. What Prosecutors Are Looking For In order to understand the defense that a DUI attorney will make in his client's behalf, it is first important to understand what the prosecutor is looking for when trying a case. Prosecutors are looking to find evidence that a person was driving drunk, that he was not able to control his vehicle or was driving it in an erratic way.

Understanding When an Officer Must Read Subjects Their Miranda Rights


Television programs that deal with law enforcement always have that one scene where police officers read Miranda rights to someone who is being arrested. It usually goes something like, ""You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do may be used against you in the court of law…"" Then they will tell the arrested individual that they have the right to seek an attorney—and if they cannot afford one, then one will be given them by the government. Television shows make people think that police officers always must read Miranda rights to a person. However, this is not exactly the case. There are some occasions when police officers are not required to do this.

Negotiating the Tough Cases

No two wrongful death cases have the same sets of circumstances. One case in Los Angeles stemming back from 2011, for example, only had a recent compensation payout due to the complicated facts of the case. These facts include fatal injuries on a boy caused by his mother’s boyfriend, and negligent processing by social workers who were assigned to investigate the mother’s complaints of child abuse before the boy’s death.

What You Can Do Legally About a Lemon Car

Not all car purchasers end up happy. Sometimes, they buy a “lemon.” Under the California lemon law, a vehicle is considered a lemon when substantial defects on the car have occurred within a given period, and these defects haven’t been satisfactorily resolved even after a number of attempts to remedy them. The state’s lemon law states that these defects should cause the car to be inoperable for 30 days, consecutively or otherwise.
