3 Cheers for Cheerleaders

Cheers for Cheerleaders: California has added labor code 2754 that now makes "cheerleaders" of a California based "professional sports team" an employee (and no longer an independent contractor). As an employee, cheerleaders have more rights and protections under labor code, unemployment insurance code, and FEHA.

Victim in an accident involving a drunk driver?

Victim in an accident involving a drunk driver? If you are a victim of an accident and the driver of the other car is convicted of drunk driving, not only will the car insurance company help compensate you for your injuries but you are also entitled to get victim restitution through the district attorney's office. For more information, contact Attorney Angelo F. Campano at 661-945-5300 or email us at acampano@campanolaw.com.

Proposition 213?.....What does that mean?

The car insurance company said I am a "prop 213". What does that mean?

Proposition 213 is a law that generally says you cannot recover for your pain and suffering in the car accident because you did not have car insurance at the time of the accident. Generally, that is correct but there are several exceptions to this rule and you may fall into one of those exceptions. Until you have spoken with a lawyer versed in this area do not rely on what the other guy's insurance tells you because that insurance company is there to help the other driver not you even though you are the victim.
