Criminal Law

Criminal Defense
Assault and battery can be tried under criminal law or civil law or both. In criminal courts, assault and battery have to be proven to the standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt".
DUI/DWI
DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) laws are names for the same offenses in different states. We'll use the term DUI since this is more common than DWI.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death lawsuits are becoming more common. Wrongful death lawsuits are brought forth because the plaintiffs believe the death of a loved one was brought about by negligence or liability by the defendant or defendants.
Sex Crimes
Most of the clergy sexual abuse lawsuits against Catholic priests have involved molestation of a minor. When George Weigel broke a news story in 2002 concerning clergy sexual abuse by ordained priest John Geoghan, this started a wave of allegations and lawsuits and would become the number one Catholic church scandal for the next five years.
Robbery
False imprisonment is defined as the act of intentionally confining a person without the legal authority to do so. Some scenarios that may include false imprisonment are the taking of hostages during a bank robbery or the detainment of a customer by the business owner for failure to pay the bill.
Theft
Assault
Assault and battery are legal terms where assault is the threat of doing bodily harm and battery is the infliction of unwanted touching (battering), though physical injury is not necessary in order to prove battery. Insulting or provocative words without threat, no matter how repugnant, do not constitute assault.
Murder
If the alleged defamer spoke or wrote fallacy instead of fact, fiction and falsehood instead of commonly accepted evidence, then this in and of itself is not defaming without malice. Malice aforethought is a legal term usually used to convict someone of first-degree murder. It means someone had cognizant intent before committing a crime. With defamation of character, this kind of malice must be proven as well.
Shoplifting
The majority of cases of false arrest are cases involving shoplifting and are held against private security companies and stores. A security guard working for a private security company does not have the authority to arrest someone based on a suspicion that the person is likely to commit a crime. In most cases, there must be some proof that the illegal act has already been committed. For instance, the person must actually try to exit the store without paying for the items they have stolen.

Employment Law

Workers Compensation
Personal injury settlements will vary from case to case. Personal injury settlements will also vary from state to state as well. Worker's compensation claims resulting in a personal injury settlement can be handled by a general personal injury lawyer or an attorney who specializes in worker's compensation cases. Receiving a personal injury settlement most often means not going to trial.
Wrongful Termination
Wrongful termination and discharge cases regarding an employee fired by a business happen all the time. There are over 20 legal grounds for making a claim for wrongful termination or discharge and over one-half of all cases are won by the former employee.
Employment Discrimination
Gender or sex discrimination actually may be an attitude of certain people. However, this has become a social phenomenon in recent years and more and more people from different parts of the world are concerned about this phenomenon.
Sexual Harassment
Are you feeling degraded? Is a co-worker always putting their hands on you when they come in the office? Has someone ever grabbed your rear or touched your chest? Maybe someone asked you to have sex with them in order to get a raise. Yes, these are considered harassment. Sexual harassment can be any type of sexual advance or comment that is unwelcome.

Property Law

Real Estate Litigation
The largest percentage of legal malpractice lawsuits are filed as the result of the plaintiffs being unhappy with the outcome of their personal injury cases. The second largest percentage of legal malpractice cases are filed in unsatisfactory real estate litigation.
Premises Liability
Premises liability cases involve accidents happening upon someone else's property. In premises liability, property owners and businesses have a duty to provide a safe environment for individuals.
Construction Litigation
Most people will know about the famous California personal injury trial Anderson v. Pacific Gas & Electric since it was played out in the movie "Erin Brockovich" staring Julia Roberts. The prospective California personal injury lawyer should not only be very familiar with this case but will other personal injury cases as well. You may wish to quiz the prospective attorney about cases such as Lackner v. North (2006) involving a skiing accident, Christie v. City of El Centro (2006) involving a car accident, police misconduct and false imprisonment, or a more famous and important case such as Aas v. Superior Court (2000), which limited the scope of potential recovery by plaintiffs in construction defect cases.
Property Damage
Personal injury insurance for auto accidents usually involves the bodily injury liability insurance part of the overall auto insurance coverage plan. According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), "This coverage, combined with property damage liability coverage, is the foundation of any auto insurance policy and is required in most states.

Health Law

Personal Injury
Major Injury Law is an informational website dedicated to bringing the most thorough and comprehensive information regarding personal injuries and what may be done to either remedy the situation or at least strive for the best outcome possible. The Major Injury Law website is not run by a law firm or medical firm and does not itself dispense legal or medical advice. The opinions on our website do not take the place of a qualified personal injury lawyer or your doctor. While the Major Injury Law site does display the articles of others, the opinions of the guest writers is solely theirs and if you have a question about those articles please take them up with the writer directly.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice and a rush to get products to market without thorough testing. Public awareness is also a contributing factor to the increase of injury lawsuits.
Auto Accidents
Dog Bites
Thousands of people living in the States are bitten by animals each year. Among these people, most of them suffer from dog bites. Usually, people who are bitten by dogs and other animals that people keep as livestock or pets will actually have the legal right to ask for compensation and get the money to recover the damages from the bites.
