If You Think You Need A Car Accident Lawyer, You Probably Do
Few people truly appreciate and understand the risks involved in getting behind the wheel of any vehicle. Many people drive negligently, despite constant advancements in safety technology and laws that encourage safe driving. We share the road with these drivers every day, and regardless of how safe and alert you are, their negligence can lead to your injuries.
There is no excuse for unsafe driving, and the individuals who are responsible for your pain should be held accountable, along with their insurance companies. Insurance companies were designed to help those who have been hurt in accidents, and yet insurers are routinely hesitant to offer a level of compensation that truly covers victims’ financial needs post-crash. At Levine Law, we are determined to give our Texas clients a voice as they stand up to insurance companies.
Despite countless safety precautions and advisories, accidents occur regularly. The injuries resulting from an accident can change your life forever. While insurance was designed to help individuals afford medical care and pay for property damage after enduring these difficult situations, not all insurance providers have your best interests at heart. This is why it is important to retain an experienced attorney who will advocate for your rights and give you a voice in the matter.

Is A Third-Party Liability Claim An Option?
Workers’ compensation is designed to cover injured workers for all kinds of accidents occurring on the job, regardless of fault or negligence. However, workers’ compensation is often woefully inadequate to cover the full costs of accident victims’ medical expenses and lost wages.
Although workers’ compensation prohibits lawsuits from injured workers against employers, the law does allow third-party civil claims. If a third party other than your employer or a co-worker somehow contributed to the accident that caused your injuries, Levine Law can bring a third-party liability claim to increase your compensation. Third parties can include vendors, manufacturers of equipment used at work, cleaners, delivery people and others.

Each case is tailored personally to each client, regardless of how complex it may seem. We are here to answer your questions and guide you through the claims process as smoothly as possible.
No one welcomes or deserves sexual harassment. Its effects can cause emotional scarring that can stick with a person for years. Although sexual harassment is illegal, it still occurs to this day, creating a hostile work environment for those on the receiving end.
If you’re a victim of sexual harassment, know that the law is on your side. With more than a decade fighting for women in the workplace, the lawyers at Levine Injury Law are prepared to hear your case and fight for your rights. Learn what steps you should take if you’re being sexually harassed.
SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND THE LAW
According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, any unwelcome sexual behavior, such as touching or speech, while on the job is considered sexual harassment. It’s illegal under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE WORKPLACE
Unwanted sexual conduct can interfere with an individual’s work performance. It can also be used to intimidate and offend, creating a hostile work environment.
Sometimes, a person is told his/her career advancement or employment depends on submitting to an employer’s sexual advances. It can be either stated out loud or merely implied. This is considered a type of sexual harassment.
In order for the sexual behavior be considered sexual harassment, it must be conduct that is unwanted by one of the parties. For instance, if you are having a relationship with a co-worker or supervisor, sexual advances may be considered consensual. So it may be important for the employee to prove his/her objection to the behavior.
And it’s not just the opposite sex who experience harassment – it can also happen between two people of the same sex.
Tell us about your situation. We may be able to help you.
Helpful information about your claims might include the time period during which the events related to your claim occurred and, if applicable, on what basis you believe you were discriminated against (for example, race, gender, religion, age, pregnancy, etc.)
UNDERSTANDING GENDER DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE
It’s still one of the major problems facing employees in the workplace today – gender discrimination. According to a research study by TNS, 68 percent of women who were surveyed believe gender discrimination still exists.
WHAT IS CONSIDERED GENDER DISCRIMINATION?
Discrimination all comes down to unequal treatment on the basis of the employee’s sex. According to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it is illegal for an employer to refuse, hire, or fire any individual based on their sex. For example, two executives have the same work responsibilities. Despite having more experience and a better work ethic than her male counterpart, the female executive is passed over for a promotion that is given to the male executive.
LAWYERS AGAINST SEXUAL HARASSMENT
Another form of gender discrimination is sexual harassment. When we think of sexual harassment, the old stereotype of the boss flirting with the secretary comes to mind. But sexual harassment is much more than that. Employees have the right to perform their jobs without the demand for sexual or romantic favors. In addition, it is the employer’s responsibility to make sure that both women and men are treated equally in the workplace, without the threat of unwanted sexual advances. Sexual harassment is still a major and ongoing issue in many workplaces across the country.
