bank scams

I have seen a recent bank scam. A client got a perfectly counterfeited cashiers check with a letter instructing them to be a secret shopper. You can guess how this would go. It turns out instead of depositing the check and wiring money to the scammer instead the client brought the cashier's check to me and I was able to determine it was a fake by calling the credit union that issued it.




In the appellate case Chino Commercial Bank v. Peters, a bank deposited $458,000 of fake cashiers checks and wired the "money" to the scammer. The cashier's checks bounced and the bank sued the customer and the appellate court held they were responsible.



Be careful if anyone wants to give you money.

California Personal Injury Attorney Case from Appellate Federal Court About Bankruptcy and Discrimination Claims

In the case of Rederford v. U.S. Airways Inc., , the Federal Court of Appeals has held that a claim of Discrimination under the Disability statute can be discharged in the bankruptcy.  So you if you have a claim for discrimination against a bankrupt company make sure you get a bankruptcy attorney to review your claim for any potential help or to make sure your rights are protected under the Federal Discrimination Statutes.

Winter Is Here

Slip and Trip Fallsand other types of Premises Injuries Are Very Common Compensation May be Available

In the words of a famous commercial, "I've fallen and I can't get up."  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQlpDiXPZHQ

The most common response people give me when they have fallen is "I was so embarrassed."  "I didn't want to tell anyone."

Unfortunately falls can lead to very serious injuries.  If someone is responsible for the fall you may be able to collect compensation for your injuries.  Common types of falls are slipping on wet floors, floors that are too slippery to walk on due to improper maintenance, trips over improperly placed wires, trips over improperly laid cement, trips over cement disturbed by the elements or tree roots.  Other types of premises liability include injuries caused when chairs fall apart, or when something falls off the wall, ceiling or shelf on a person. Sometimes a store clerk is in one aisle and knocks something over onto an unsuspecting person in the other aisle. Something very low sticking out into the walkway so that customers cannot see the item. Rotting wood gives way when you walk on it.  Stairs are unsafely built or maintained or fail to have necessary hand rails.

If you have been injured, and you think someone else is responsible for that injury give me a call I can help.
