Employment Law Do you have a work-related legal matter and need an attorney? If you have a wage & labor dispute, wrongful termination, non-compete or non disclosure matter, there are state and federal employment laws that provide the framework for which all U.S. citizens are entitled to. Are you involved in a legal issue that requires an experienced attorney? Contact the California employment law attorney, Steven M. Sweat to handle your employment issues today. Some of the areas of employment law that we cover are: * Last paychecks * Employment discrimination * Non compete, non disclosure matters * Deductions and Garnishments * Benefits and allowances disputes * Breach of contract * Whistleblower discrimination The latest statistics show that there are over 36 million people in California and that according to the US census bureau, there is roughly 10.2% of the population that is living below the poverty level. That equates to over three million Californians that are struggling to survive. With the California unemployment rates always being of the highest in the US, the employment market remains at the advantage of the employer. With the competitive nature of the Californian workforce, unscrupulous employers have the ability to manipulate employees that are not working from an advantaged position. If you feel that you have been unfairly discriminated against or if an employer, contractor, or agency is attempting to violate your employment rights, you need to speak with an attorney that is experienced in handling employment law in California. There are specific civil rights that every Californian worker has. Do not allow an employer to get away with unfair violations just because the market is in their favor.

There are many motorcycle accidents that are caused due to factors of speed, visibility, or alcohol. In a recent industry report given by the NHTSA, motorcycle injury and fatality statistics were taken regarding many factors and scenarios. Listed below, are some of the latest facts.

* In a one year period there were more than 4,000 motorcycle fatalities from accidents with motor vehicles, which comprise 9 percent of the total accidents for the U.S.
* Motorcyclists account for only 2 percent of all registered vehicles.
* There were approximately 1,808 fatal single vehicle and 2,200 fatal multiple vehicle crashes with motorcycles within a one year period.
* The total amount of registered vehicles for the reporting year was 243,023,485 and of that, there were 5,780,870 registered motorcycles, less than half a percent of all the registered vehicles.
* There were more than 76,000 injured motorcyclists in a one year period.

The reports show that the dangers that motorcycle riders face are very real. Many riders are injured or killed because of accidents with other vehicles. Traffic conditions in highly populated areas contribute greatly to operator error. When factoring in such errors for riders that operate in these types of conditions, the possibility for accidents increases dramatically.

The motorcyclists of today face a much higher rate of danger while driving than just ten years ago. With accidents on the rise due to cell phone usage while driving, the trends in road rage increasing, and a national increase in traffic and congestion, motorcyclists have to take much more caution while riding in public today.

Truck Accidents

Due to their size and weight, a truck is one of the worst types of vehicles to get into an accident with. A truck wreck can have fatal and tragic results. Big rigs, for example, usually weigh over 80,000 pounds. If an 18-wheeler that weighs 40 tons is speeding even just a little bit above the limit, it can be that much more difficult for it to brake and stop properly which, can result in the truck jackknifing. Contact our California lawyers if a negligent truck driver caused harm to you or someone close to you.

Have you or a loved one been involved in an accident with a large or semi truck in Los Angeles or any part of northern, central, or southern California? Our lawyers at the Glotzer & Sweat, APC are here to assist you. Contact our Southern California Truck Accident lawyers today!

Most of the time, it is the negligence of someone else that causes a this type of accident. Whether it is the driver or a truck manufacturer, some of the many reasons that a truck crash occurs is the following:

* Speeding
* Drunk Driving
* Mechanical Errors
* Heavy Loads
* Fatigue
* Reckless Driving

According to recent California statistics, over 12,000 commercial and semi trucks were involved in non-fatal accidents in just one year. Additionally, over 5,000 truck accidents resulted in injuries. In the entire country – not just southern California – almost 5,000 of these types of accidents were fatal. This number is far too high, especially when most of these incidents could have been prevented if the truck driver wasn’t negligent or if someone didn’t make a careless decision. Our California truck accident lawyers are here to help you if you or someone close to you was hurt in a truck accident.

Most truck drivers spend hours – even days – traveling through the entire country, not just through Los Angeles and southern California. Because of this, most drivers are very fatigued. Being tired delays your reactions and impairs your judgment and can almost be just as bad as driving while intoxicated. If you feel that a truck driver’s lack of sleep caused the death of your loved one, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact our lawyers today!

According to California employment law, the following can all be considered as sexual harassment:

* Physical Harassment

Sexual harassment is defined as any unwanted verbal, physical, or visual sexual conduct as well as any unwanted sexual advances towards another individual, according to California law and according to the Fair Employment and Housing Commission regulations. If an employer is made aware that this is taking place at the workplace, it is his or her duty to put a stop to it. If an employer fails to do so, that company may be facing a lawsuit. An attorney can help if you are wishing to press charges against an employer or company.

It is not always an employee that sexually harasses a fellow employee. Sometimes, an employee might actually be harassed by the employer. In some cases, an employer will either threaten or offer a promotion to an employee in return for intimate acts. This might result in job loss for the employee because he or she no longer feels comfortable there, or because the employer fired him or her when they did not comply with their threats. If you feel you have been sexually harassed by your employer, contact a Sexual Harassment attorney in San Diego.

Train accidents can result in a number of tragic things, including but not limited to:

How does a train get into an accident? Some examples of train accidents include derailments, rear end collisions, crashing into automobiles, and fires on the train. How do things like this happen? There are a number of different factors that can contribute to a train accident. One major cause of train accidents is operator negligence. An operator that has not been trained properly is drowsy, impaired or distracted while operating a train can result in disaster. Equipment on the train and lack of inspections can also lead to train accidents. Finally, factors that don’t include the actual train itself – such as defects in railroad tracks or lack of railroad crossing signals – can result in a horrible accident. If you feel one of these reasons resulted in your accident in San Diego contact a lawyer.

Not all accidents that occur are necessarily the fault of someone else. However, it has been reported that many train accidents that occur could have been prevented if proper precautions were followed and someone was not negligent. If you are located anywhere in California, including San Diego, and you are unsure whether or not the accident you or your loved one was involved in was due to the negligence of another, is imperative to contact a lawyer.

Airplane Accidents

Aviation Accidents

Although it is supposed to be the safest form of travel, aviation accidents and injury occur. In places like California, automobile accidents occur much more frequently than airplane accidents but when an airplane accident happens, the type of injury that usually results is usually devastating. A lot of the time, many passengers on board are killed in the accident, although there are accidents where there are survivors that are left with a severe injury. Whether you survived a plane crash and sustained an injury or you lost a loved one in a plane accident, an attorney at Glotzer & Sweat, APC is here to help.

Have you or a loved one been involved in a plane accident and sustained an injury? Our California Injury Attorney practices in Long Beach, West Hollywood, Los Angeles and other various areas throughout California. Contact a California Injury Attorney today!

It can be difficult to pinpoint the reasons why a particular airplane accident happened. Most of the time, however, it occurs due to one or more of the following reasons:

* Design Defects
* Poor Weather Conditions
* Pilot Negligence
* Mechanical Failure

When people think of an aviation accident, they usually think of a large, commercial airplane crash that makes headlines. However, this is not the only thing to consider when it comes to aviation accidents. Small planes, private jets and helicopters also crash and not every accident is reported on the news and they do not always become widely spread, well known information. In other words, while they are rare, aviation accidents happen more often than we think and a lot more than we are aware of.

Being involved in a plane accident or having someone close to you get killed in an aviation accident can be a very traumatic and painful experience that can be difficult to recover from. Most of the time, these accidents could have been prevented. A California attorney at the Law Offices of Steve M. Sweat can help recover the compensation you deserve for pain and suffering, medical bills, and for your loss. Speak to a California attorney today.
