As and Airbnb accident and injury lawyer in Los Angeles, I think that this space sharing service is a great concept but, many property owners who rent space have houses or apartments that can pose a danger for accidents and injuries that should be compensated. Airbnb is available to people who are wanting to travel to Los Angeles, allowing them to see the sights while staying on a budget. This service is to the hotel industry what ride-share services such as Lyft or Uber are to the taxi industry. The business model of Airbnb allows users to post their apartments or homes to rent out to others on the Airbnb site for short-term stays. The site users negotiate their prices and lengths of stay between them.The house-sharing model on Airbnb does pose some issues of civil liability if a guest is injured while staying in an Airbnb rental. Injured victims may have trouble recovering compensation by holding the homeowner or the company liable in a lawsuit. How does Airbnb work?Airbnb … [Read more...] about Airbnb in Los Angeles and Beyond: Potential Legal Issues

Like so many other young boys, I dreamt that someday I would become a professional athlete. I would watch the games and then imitate my favorite players in the backyard. I lived my life around sports growing up. When the school day ended, it was off to play whatever sport was in season. Sports provided me with a sense of teamwork and accomplishment. Our society has placed sports at such a high level that today’s professional athletes are amongst the highest paid of any profession in America. The National Football League “NFL” sits at the top with its $15 Billion a year entertainment business.My dream of the big leagues ended after high school. I instead took the path of attending law school in Pittsburgh, PA. I always kept the hope alive that someday maybe I could be an agent to the players or be hired as a general counsel for a professional team. The reality is that those legal jobs are sparser than becoming a professional athlete. By the age of 30, I was in my 6th … [Read more...] about The NFL Concussion Lawsuit from the Eyes of the Pittsburgh Lawyer who Originated the Case

The adoption and use of the internet now makes a website an essential tool for any personal injury lawyer trying to sustain and build a practice.A vast majority of the United States’ population is online, and more and more people are turning to the internet to do online research to make decisions.

Lawyers often find themselves facing off against psychiatrists or psychologists during litigation. Whether it’s a personal injury or medical malpractice case, a hearing to determine fitness to stand trial or part of a sentencing hearing, courts nationwide are ringing with the testimony of these experts.They are among the toughest witnesses to challenge because their testimony can have elements of hearsay as well as subjectivity. That’s because patients’ medical complaints to mental health professionals are subjective, and the diagnosis built on those complaints often is similarly subjective. Even if the testimony is based on data from tests mental health experts administer, few lawyers have the depth of knowledge about the field to match wits with psychiatrists or psychologists.That’s a fact attorney William Chamblee knows all too well. He admits that when he began his career about 30 years ago, he was intimidated to cross-examine psychiatrists and … [Read more...] about How lawyers can effectively cross-examine psychiatrists and psychologists
