No Right to Sue an Employer in Court for Personal Injuries at Work
by Alexander Law Group July 11, 2004 » Add the second comment.
Under California law, like most states, when an employee is injured in the course of employment, as a result of the negligence of the employer, a co-employee, or the employee, the injured employee is not allowed to sue the employer for personal injuries in the Superior Court. When a personal injury is caused by someone other than the employer, the injured employee can sue the third party in the Superior Court and simultaneously obtain workers’ compensation benefits. Drivers injured on the job by the negligence of others or workers injured by defective/toxic products have both third party and workers’ compensation rights. Under the California Workers’ Compensation statutes adopted by the Legislature, the injured employee’s only recourse is to file a workers’ compensation claim for benefits before a special administratiave agency – the Workers’ Compensation Appeals [...] Read more »
Drug Manufacturers, Medical Devices, Personal Injuries and Wrongful Deaths
by Alexander Law Group June 4, 2004 » Add the second comment.
When drug manufacturers are sued for refusing to properly label products that have resulted in personal injuries or wrongful deaths, they argue that under state laws personal injury claims are barred under the doctrine of federal preemption. When a court orders that a claim is subject to federal preemption it precludes the defendant from being held responsible under state laws. Once preemption is granted against drug manufacturers injured plaintiffs are denied any forum to litigate their claim and are precluded from obtaining any compensate for the damages they have suffered. This is because no federal law or regulation exists which allows recovery for such claims in federal courts. When a defendant drug company is granted preemption, it is free of any liability to injured claimants. Please help share this important news with others:Tweet
Traumatic Brain Injury: Diagnosis, Treatment and Recovery
by Alexander Law Group May 29, 2004 » Add the first comment.
Brain injury is the leading cause of death for those under the age of 45. Many who suffer mild to moderate brain injury do not appear to be injured and they have few outward physical manifestations of personal injuries. In short, they “look” good, despite the fact that they have suffered a severe personal injury that can mean the loss of employment, the destruction of personal relationships and the anguish that accompanies the knowledge of all that has been lost. I have seen this repeatedly as a personal injury lawyer representing TBI survivors. Please help share this important news with others:Tweet

“Cable Barriers” are Worthless in Preventing Personal Injuries and Wrongful Deaths
by Alexander Law Group September 21, 2003 » Add the first comment.
“Cable barriers” do nothing to prevent cross median crashes, which always result in wrongful deaths and extremely serious personal injuries. A cross-median head-on crash is the equivalent of hitting a concrete wall at 130 mph and with cars designed to absorb an impact of 30-35 mph, the results are inevitable.
