Workplace Negligent Security in Hollywood: A Serious Concern
When most employees think of a safe workplace, they’re thinking of personal protective equipment or processes that prevent accidents involving heavy machinery. But not all hazards are internal. Adequate security in the workplace is essential to prevent people from entering a place of work and injuring or harming employees.
If your employer failed to keep you safe at work and you suffered an injury or from violence as a result, you may have a claim. Pursuing your claim and any compensation you may be entitled to can in fact be important in helping you recover physically and emotionally from your injury. To find out more, contact Flaxman Law Group for a consultation with a workplace injury claims lawyer.
Hollywood Workers’ Compensation: What To Do If Your Claim is Denied in Florida
If you work in Hollywood or any Florida community, you are generally covered by workers’ compensation insurance. This is paid for by your employer and helps you pay the bills if you’re ever injured at work or suffer an occupational illness.
Or at least, that’s how it’s supposed to work.
At Flaxman Law Group, our family-based legal team has worked with many injured workers who have had their legitimate claims denied. Our goal in these situations is to get you the benefits you deserve, as quickly as possible, so you can work on healing from your injuries.
Will You Need At-Home Care or Other Support After a Serious Injury?
If you’ve sustained a catastrophic injury, such as a spinal cord or traumatic head injury, you may need additional, long-term care once you’re medically stable and released from the hospital. The costs for this can be devastating and unless you have disability coverage and strong medical insurance, you may be left paying a significant portion yourself—unless you can make a claim.
Whether you’ve been injured in a store, in the workplace, or in a sport, it can be useful to talk to a Hollywood injury attorney to find out whether you may have a claim. Seeking compensation can make a big difference in your financial future and your ability to get quality care. After your injury, find out more about your rights to compensation by contacting Flaxman Law Group. Our boutique law firm is happy to provide a free consultation with a Hollywood injury attorney if you’ve been injured.
Security Deposit Withholding: What You Need to Know as a Colorado Tenant
If you rent your home in Boulder, Colorado Springs, or any community in Colorado, you may have had to pay a security deposit when moving in. Also known as a damage deposit or a pet deposit, this money is meant to protect the landlord against unpaid rent and damage, but if you follow all the rules, you should be getting that money back after you move out.
So what happens if your landlord tries to claim your deposit is “non-refundable” or tries to claw back a large portion? This is not only unfair, but it may be against the law. Worse, it can leave you in a difficult situation if you need the money to pay for necessities after you move. In this situation, you can always call Flaxman Law Group to arrange a consultation with a Colorado landlord-tenant dispute attorney. Let our family-based law team review your situation, answer your questions, and help you find ways to get your deposit back.
Security Deposit Withholding: What Colorado Landlords Need to Know
Colorado landlords have the right to request a security deposit from renters, as a type of protection in case of significant property damage or unpaid rent. However, while the law allows for withholding, some tenants fight back and landlord-tenant disputes about security deposit withholding can drag on, meaning you don’t get the money you need to compensate you for your losses.
The father-son attorney team at Flaxman Law Group has helped landlords defend and support their deductions. We have worked to resolve these cases advantageously for our clients, and in a timely way, so landlords can get back to managing their properties. If your tenant moves out and there is a disagreement about the security deposit, contact Flaxman Law Group for a consultation with a Colorado landlord-tenant dispute attorney. Let’s discuss ways you can protect yourself.
Hollywood Cement Truck Accidents
Cement trucks are essential for construction and road work projects, but there’s a lot of pressure on these vehicles. Drivers of cement trucks usually have to get to their destinations quickly, because there are crews waiting for them. Cement is also very heavy, with fully loaded trucks weighing in at 33 tons, on average. That’s a lot of potential force if these vehicles are in a collision.
If you’re injured in a crash with a cement truck, you’re likely to sustain serious injuries. In this situation, you can contact Flaxman Law Group at any time to set up a free consultation with a Hollywood accident attorney. We can review your injuries and the details of your case to help you understand whether you might have a claim that lets you seek compensation for your medical bills, lost income, and more.
Security Deposit Withholding in Florida
In Florida, landlords can charge a security deposit to protect themselves from financial losses when they rent a house, condo, apartment, or other residential property. The law allows landlords the ability to withhold some or all of the security deposit in specific circumstances, but it’s common for landlord-tenant disputes to happen when security deposit withholding is needed.
If you are a tenant or landlord in Florida who can’t come to an agreement about security deposit withholding, contact Flaxman Law Group for a consultation with a landlord-tenant dispute attorney. Working with an attorney means there’s someone on your side, protecting your rights.
