• Motorcycle accidents: Do not let bias against motorcyclists get in the way of the compensation you are entitled to after a motorcycle crash.
• Product liability: The true cause of your injuries in a traffic accident or a workplace accident may have been defective car parts or equipment.
• Construction accidents: In addition to a workers’ compensation claim, there may also be a third-party liability claim against a subcontractor, a property owner or a machinery manufacturer.

SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY: Are you unable to work as you did previously because of the effects of an injury or medical condition? Know your rights.

• SSDI/SSI: Social Security Disability is not “welfare.” It is a part of a safety net that working Americans pay into over a lifetime through paycheck deductions.

• Harassment: A hostile work environment can be as intimidating as direct “quid pro quo” requests for sexual favors by a supervisor. Learn about your rights if you have been harassed at work.
