Injured in a construction site accident? It is important to know the difference between workers' compensation and personal injury cases. Workers' Compensation: Covers injuries or illnesses that happen on the job. It provides benefits like medical care and lost wages, regardless of who is at fault. Personal Injury: You can sue for damages like medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost wages. Here, proving fault is crucial. Typically you can't sue your employer; however, there are exceptions. Understanding the difference can help you get the right legal support. In some cases, you may be able to pursue both a workers' compensation case and a personal injury case. If you're unsure which applies to your situation, call our team at The Hamilton Law Firm for a free consultation. . . . . . . #personalinjury #trialattorney #constructionaccident #constructioninjuries #workerscompensation

In 1924, Georgia Philipps Morgan was appointed to the Women's Court, becoming the first female judge in California above the level of justice of the peace.

Starting on January 1, 2025, there are important changes to Code of Civil Procedure Section 437c, which governs the process for filing and opposing a motion for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The new Section 437c adds six days to the deadlines for a motion so parties must file a motion 81 days before the hearing, an opposition 20 days before the hearing, and a reply 11 days before the hearing. The updated Section 437c also prohibits a party from filing more than one motion for summary judgment against an adverse party without leave of court and prohibits the introduction of new facts in the reply. . . . . . #newlaw #personalinjurylaw #personalinjuryclaim #TrialAttorney #sanfranciscolawfirm #ccp
