My DUI Lawyer

Lynette Ann Hunt, 32, was sentenced for the death of her two friends who were killed in a DUI car collision on July 11, 2008. According to The Orange County Register, Hunt and her two friends were celebrating a birthday in Santa Ana at a gentlemen’s club. After the celebration Hunt got behind the wheel of her 1993 Honda sedan accompanied by her two companions. According to eye witnesses Hunt was seen on the 91 freeway weaving in and out of lanes before losing control and flipping her car down an embankment. The car rolled over ejecting Hunt and one of her passengers Maria Zamarripa. Both passengers suffered fatal injuries. Hunt suffered a broken clavicle and broken ribs.

Hunt pleaded guilty in August 2009 to felony vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, misdemeanor driving on a suspended license, and sentencing enhancements for causing great bodily injury and having a blood-alcohol level of .15 percent. She has been sentenced to six years in prison.

I offer my deepest condolences to the family and friends of the deceased for their devastating loss. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

California DUI Laws

Driving under the influence is poor judgment on Hunts part. It is also against California law to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent or higher. California Vehicle Code Section 23152 (a): “It is unlawful for any person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug, or under the combined influence of any alcoholic beverage and drug, to drive a vehicle.”

Finding A DUI Car Collision Attorney

If you or a loved one has suffered from a California car collision due to a drunk driver please contact a reputed California personal injury lawyer. The best car collision lawyers will offer free consultations to injured accident victims. Some will even offer a no fee guarantee. This means that if they don’t win your case you don’t pay.

Have you ever been to a friend’s house and tripped and sprained your ankle? These types of accidents happen all the time, but what if you really injured yourself? If that was the case then you would want to file a premises liability claim against the owner of the property in which you were injured, as long as the accident was due to their negligence.

Types Of Accidents

There are different types of accidents that can happen while visiting an old friend or living on someone else’s property.  Injuries on properties can include:

• Animal Attacks
• Exposure
• Accidents Due To Hazardous Conditions
• Slips or Falls

When it comes to filing a premises liability suit, the individual must have substantial proof that the owner of the property was at fault. They need to show that the owner had hazardous conditions, failed to keep proper maintenance, knew there was a danger and neglected to warn the person injured, or were careless regarding the hazardous conditions which might catch the attention of a child. 

What is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is the legal definition that states that all property owners are liable for the security of others on their property.  If the individual is hurt on their property and is possibly the result of negligence on the property owner’s part, they will be held liable.

Luckily, premises liability may be applied to a variety of situations, rather than having strict guidelines that can make suits difficult to pursue.  A couple examples of incidents where the property owner is liable include:

• Your neighbors have a pool on their property and your child gets into an accident because: a) they weren’t watching them or; b) they were not home and the pool area was unsecure or no gate was up ensuring the child did not have access.
• A store owner has recently mopped their floor but did not put up the caution sign to warn visitors that the floor was slippery and someone falls.
• A landlord does not provide adequate security for the property and a robber breaks in causing property damage, theft, or bodily injury to the tenant.

What Can You Do?

If you or a family member had an accident and were injured on some else’s property, you can file a premises liability claim to seek compensation for your losses.  Be aware that an array of aspects determines if the suit is applicable. Some include:

• The person named in the suit must own the property.
• The person injured was invited and not trespassing.
• There has to be proven negligence in the care of the property.

The property owner is legally required to maintain the property and make certain the visitors or tenants are in a safe environment.

If an employer has violated your rights in any way, you will defiantly want to seek counsel to represent you.  However, you will definitely want to do research to choose the best employment lawyer that will help get you the most for your claim.  But many people do not know what to look for and may choose the first they find and regret it in the long run.

Discrimination Help

The most common claim filed against employers is a discrimination claim. It is against federal law for any business to use race, religion, gender, ethnicity, disabilities, or age when deciding whether to hire or terminate an employee.  However, this does not mean that discrimination in the workplace does not happen. You would want to look for a civil rights lawyer to get advice and determine if the business has violated your rights.

Severance Payment Help

Although there is no law stating that a business or employer has to give a terminated employee a severance package, an employment lawyer may be able to help with negotiating a severance package.  However, many employment contracts have a severance agreement. If you do not understand the terms of this agreement you should discuss with a lawyer to see if you can file a claim. 

Overtime

There are also times when an employment lawyer can help with claims regarding overtime pay.  Depending on the state you live in, overtime regulations are complex and diverse, which can make them difficult to understand. This is why many people consult with a specialized lawyer to begin to understand the rules and regulations of overtime and what their rights are. Next they will determine whether or not you have a valid claim against the company you feel has violated your overtime payment rights. 

Wrongful Termination

Civil rights lawyers are usually required for claims of wrongful termination.  There are many states that have an “at will” policy which gives the employee an opportunity to quit their job whenever they want and for whatever reason they have. The drawback to this is that employers have the same right. Just as employees, employers have the right to terminate an employee at any time and for any justifiable reason.  There are situations, however, where an employer does not have a valid reason for firing an employee such as discrimination.  An employment lawyer will help you file your suit if they feel you have a case of wrongful termination.

Employment lawyers work in the broad area of employment law and have many areas of practice. If you want to file a lawsuit against a company regarding your employment seeking representation from an employment lawyer is your best shot at winning.  You will need to do the research and find the employment lawyer that is right for you and that you can trust to handle your case well.
