More about Wage & Hour Claims
Millions of hard working people give their best each and every day at their workplace. We expect a fair day’s wages for a fair day’s work. Unfortunately, some employers choose to unjustly withhold proper wages and benefits from their employees for various reasons and through various illegal and reprehensible means. If you or someone you know is owed unpaid wages or has been prevented from receiving proper wages or overtime pay, contact a Denver personal injury attorney for more information on how to proceed with a case for damages.

Various state and federal labor laws are on the books to protect workers from unfair wage and hours treatment. One of the most common behaviors of an employer that is detrimental to fair wage earning is the misclassification of an employee. Employers often times will misclassify an hourly employee as a salary-paid (exempt) employee to avoid paying fair overtime wages. Businesses may also engage in deceptive timekeeping practices or refuse to provide legally mandated meal breaks or meet minimum wage laws. Other illegal activities that an employer may participate in to cheat its workers include:

  • Incorrect or improper deductions from a paycheck
  • Failure to pay commissions
  • Neglecting to pay for earned vacation time
  • Failure to pay salaries or hourly earned wages on time or in full
  • Owing wages or money to an employee upon termination

Denver Trucking Accident Attorney

Trucking Accident Injuries
Any victim in a trucking accident in need of compassionate legal help can contact a Denver personal injury lawyer at Andrus, Hood & Wagstaff for dedicated and experienced representation. We are fully aware of the life-altering devastation or even wrongful death that can come to a loved one or victim in such an accident.

Trucking accidents are complex, often involving a number of victims and property damage. Post-crash scenes involving commercial trucks are the subject of extensive investigation by law enforcement officers, insurance adjusters and others. Any claim made by victims is virtually guaranteed to be a big case, whether settled directly or taken into court. The events contributing to the accident may even need to be reconstructed to work out exactly what happened and determine causes for the crash.

Trucking companies have insurance policies with large policy limits as regulated by federal laws. Their insurance carriers have adjusters dedicated to severely limiting payout amounts, with considerable resources and experience to back them up in this regard. It is therefore even more important for a victim of one of these accidents to have an attorney who knows the system, how to do an independent investigation where needed, and how to build the case to its maximum potential to get the recompense you are entitled to.

Common Causes for Trucking Accidents
When a truck causes an accident, it may be due to driving overlong and being tired, a DUI (alcohol blood level .08 or higher) failure to obey traffic laws or bad road conditions. Trucks can also suffer from faulty braking systems, poor maintenance, tire blow-outs or an unbalanced load. Any of these causes violate one or more safety regulations and the responsible trucking company should be held accountable by being required to compensate the accident victims monetarily.

We are dedicated to helping our clients who have suffered as a victim of a trucking accident to receive the financial recovery they deserve. One’s life may never be fully restored, but one can get significant relief from future financial burdens occasioned by a truck accident.

Work Place Discrimination Attorney in Denver

Denver Work Place Discrimination Lawyer
We all value the opportunities available to us at our jobs and expect to be treated fairly at the workplace. Although there is never a place for discrimination at the workplace, it is a sad and unfortunate reality even in today’s world. When you have suffered unfair treatment at work due to race, , national origin, disability, veteran status, or other legally protected distinction, you have experienced discrimination. If you are enduring vindictive reprisals for reporting violations of any sort at your place of work, you are also being subjected to discrimination. This is not only deplorable but also illegal. To explore legal options available to you in a workplace discrimination case, it is in your best interest to contact a Denver personal injury attorney today.

Although it may seem as such, unfair treatment cannot always be classified as illegal discrimination. Under Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws, violations only occur when different treatment is given to those with protected characteristics. Distinctions such as job performance or personality traits are not protected by discrimination laws. If you have indeed been a victim of discrimination, you are legally entitled to seek such remedies as back pay, financial damages for pain and suffering, restoration of a lost job position, and punitive damages up to $300,000.
