New York's Scaffold Law: Key to Protecting Construction Workers
2012-10-03
There has been ongoing debate between safety advocates and some in the business and construction industry about the value of New York's Scaffold Law.

Motorcycle Lane-Splitting In California: Legal, but Misunderstood
2012-10-03
Riding a motorcycle has become an increasingly popular option for San Francisco-area commuters. Not only do motorcycles save money on gas, but they also allow riders to better navigate through California's notoriously congested traffic.
Unfortunately, many motorcyclists' time-saving techniques are met with frustration -- or even anger -- from other drivers on the road. Nowhere is this more true than with "lane-splitting," which is the practice of advancing down the road in between lanes of slow or stalled traffic. Sadly, misunderstandings between riders and ...

The California Homeowner Bill of Rights and What It Means for You
2012-10-03
Between 2008 and 2011, more than one million California homes were lost to foreclosure. At the midway point of 2012, approximately 700,000 homes in the state were embroiled at some stage of the foreclosure process.
There is no doubt that California was hit especially hard by the foreclosure crisis. Many Californians are still struggling to prevent foreclosure.

Is Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Right for You?
2012-10-03
Filing for bankruptcy can be a godsend for those drowning in debt. For those individuals who make a steady income but are still overwhelmed by debt, Chapter 13 bankruptcy may provide financial relief.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy, also known as a wage earners plan, reorganizes a filer's debts in a way that makes payments manageable. A Chapter 13 repayment plan lasts three to five years, at the end of which the remaining balance on eligible debts are eliminated if a filer made payments in full and on time. This type of bankruptcy can provide several benefits to eligible individuals.

Home Foreclosures in Illinois after the Great Recession
2012-10-03
Brief Background on the Crisis
Economists generally agree that the latest recession began in December 2007, when the housing bubble in the U.S. burst and stock markets tumbled, creating the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
Dubbed by many as "the Great Recession," in reference to how significant the downturn was (and, by many accounts, continues to be), the recession has caused many homeowners to go into default on their mortgages. The effects of the housing bubble and its subsequent burst are still being felt today, despite official declarations ...
