Along with the glyphosate, Roundup also has aminomethylphosphonic acid, AMPA in it, which is known to cause irreparable damage to human DNA and human blood mononuclear cells.

WARNING: NEW SCAM – JURY SUBPOENA AND LA COURTS

April 29, 2024 | by Robert Walch

Some of our readers may be familiar with some of the awful scams run on folks in Los Angeles and California. There is one scam where the victim (often referred to as the mark) is promised a new Mercedes (and maybe even some cash too), and all they have to do is pay a few thousand dollars upfront for the delivery. Guess what, the Mercedes never comes.

Another older scam, actually perpetrated many years ago on an elderly relative of a member of our personal injury law firm occurred when the victim received a call that his nephew had been arrested, and money was necessary for bail. Of course the nephew, supposedly in jail, could not be reached to expose the scam. The nephew was never arrested much less in jail and the bail money was gone.

Still another scam occurs when the scammer requests someone else cash a check (making up some reason why the scammer cannot do it, e.g., ID lost, etc.), and that although the check is counterfeit it appears quite genuine, and the mark is promised a few hundred dollars for his or her time. The check appears good, so good that the teller cashes it for many thousands of dollars, then the mark gives all the money to the scammer, less a few hundred dollars for the mark’s services, but then a few days to a few weeks later the bank discovers the fraud and withdraws funds from the mark’s own account to cover the bad check, leaving the mark out many thousands of dollars.

Call Our Experienced Lawyers if you have an Accident

April 15, 2024 | by Robert Walch

If you are involved in an injury accident in California, you may not know what to do. It could be your first accident and you may have never spoken with an attorney in your life. We understand. We hear many times from our California personal injury and wrongful death clients that it is the first time they have ever had to hire an attorney. Some people think that hiring an attorney makes them litigious. It does not! If you are not at fault in the accident, you are the victim, you have a right to an attorney to make sure that the insurance companies do not take advantage of you. You deserve to be treated fairly and you deserve fair compensation for your injuries, loss of earnings, diminished value of your vehicle, pain, suffering, etc.

Do not wait to call us. Many former clients know to call us from the scene of their accident. We can help right away. You may think you are doing the right thing, but without speaking with an experienced California personal injury lawyer, you may be making some hidden mistakes. For example, sometimes people don’t call 911 because the other party convinces them not to. If you are injured in an accident that is not your fault, you should call 911 and request the police come to the scene. You need a police report because sometimes the other party may change their story later on, even if they admit fault at the scene. If your injuries warrant it, you should also request paramedics respond. Sometimes 911 operators may ask you if anything is broken or if you are bleeding, and if you say no, they may not send paramedics. It is your responsibility to let them know that you need paramedics. For example, you may have a concussion, which is a traumatic brain injury, which needs to be examined and treated right away.

If there are any witnesses to your accident, get their information (at a minimum their name, phone number and email address) so we can contact them later and get a written statement from them. Even if you don’t think you will need the witness, do it anyway. Before you talk to the police and give your statement at the scene, call our experienced lawyers and tell us what happened. We can help you! There is no cost for this type of consultation.

Not Every California Personal Injury Lawyer is the Same

April 11, 2024 | by Robert Walch

If you are involved in a serious injury accident in California, or you have a relative that suffers a wrongful death due to someone else’s negligence, you need a personal injury and wrongful death lawyer that you can really trust, not a lawyer from a billboard or radio or television commercial. This is a common mistake made by many people who may never have hired a lawyer before and do not know what exactly to look for.

If you are hiring a law firm for your very important personal injury or wrongful death case, see if you can talk to the lawyer who will be representing you and your family. If you cannot talk to the lawyer and only get to speak with a receptionist, or if the lawyer sends an “investigator” to your home or hospital to try to pressure you into signing with them, then you should not hire that law firm.

Make sure you read everything that a law firm sends you when you are considering hiring that law firm. Our firm has an easy and simple to understand one page Retainer Agreement. We try to make everything as easy as possible for our clients in their difficult time. Some firms have five or ten page retainer agreements, which may not be a bad thing by itself, but it is a bad thing if they are using the multiple pages to sneak in terms that are not beneficial to the client. Many of the firms that advertise heavily do not care as much about having happy clients at the end of the case, so they will sneak things into their agreements to use against the clients. Oftentimes the clients won’t realize those terms are in their agreement until after they have settled. Do not fall for this. Read the entire contract. If you have a question about anything in our contract, ask us, we will happily explain it to you.
