Posted on November 27, 2013 by vmcgarity

IMG_5994groupoutside-2

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently publicizing their “Buckling up Could Save Your Giblets” campaign to remind drivers and passengers about the importance of buckling up. More drivers on the road mean more accidents. Additionally, safety conscious drivers need to exercise additional caution and vigilance during evening hours due to the increased potential of drunk driving crashes.

Drunk Drivers During the Holidays

Unfortunately, the holidays are a notorious time for wrecks involving drunk drivers.  With the increase in celebrations and festivities, some people choose to get behind the wheel after drinking. In addition to buckling up, drivers need to be on the lookout for drunk drivers too. Since the holidays can be such a dangerous time for drivers and passenger vehicle occupants, state and local law enforcement agencies across Florida are going to be stepping up efforts to keep the roadways safe.

NHTSA’s Seat Belt Statistics

  • In 2011, 249 people lost their lives in crashes over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
  • 50 percent of those victims were not wearing seat belts when their vehicles crashed.
  • People are more likely to wear seat belts during daytime driving hours than at night.
  • Seat belts save more than 13,000 lives nationwide each year.
  • One in five people riding in or driving a car neglects to wear a seat belt in America.
  • Of the 21,253 people killed in wrecks in 2011, 52 percent were not wearing seat belts.
  • The risk of fatal injury can be reduced by 45 percent with proper seat belt use.
  • The risk of moderate to serious injury is reduced by 50 percent for people who wear seat belts.

Buckle Up

It’s important to buckle up this holiday season and all year long. Buckling up is the single most effective way to protect one’s self in the event of a crash. With get-togethers, celebrations and holiday festivities on the horizon, there will be more drunk drivers on the roadways.

The holidays should be a time of joyous celebration. Remember to buckle up for short trips across town and long trips across the country.

Racial Discrimination in the Workplace

Posted on November 22, 2013 by vmcgarity

IMG_5994groupoutside-2

Unfortunately, racial discrimination in the workplace is still an issue in the year 2013. Although it has been almost fifty years since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, racial discrimination can still be seen in many workplaces across Florida. There are many types of racial discrimination, so if you think you’ve been discriminated against, contact an experienced employment law attorney for a consultation soon.

Prejudice and Discrimination

Prejudice is defined as an unfair feeling of dislike for a person or group because of race, sex, religion or sexual orientation. Discrimination is the practice of unfairly treating a person or group of people differently from other people or groups of people.  Both of these social trends ignore a person’s humanity, denying the individual the opportunity to be judged fairly based on their ability, skills, experience and education. There is simply no room for racial discrimination in the modern American workplace.

Racial Discrimination

  • Treating anyone unfavorably because of their race.
  • Treating an individual unfavorably because the person is married to someone of a specific race.
  • Treating someone unfavorably due to their connection to an organization or team that is associated with a certain race.

Any of those actions falls under racial discrimination, even if the discrimination is being carried out by an individual of the same race as the person being discriminated against.

What actions can be considered unfavorable in nature, especially in relation to workplace racial issues?

Unfavorable Actions Related to Race

  • If an individual’s race is taken into consideration at any point in the employment process from being hired all the way to termination.
  • Harassment of any kind due to an individual’s race. Harassment can be derogatory remarks, crude or lewd humor, offensive symbols, racial slurs or any type of hostile work environments due to race issues.
  • Any policy, guideline or rule that affords a particular race an advantage or disadvantage.

Employers, executives, coworkers, business owners, managers and other professionals in the workplace are not allowed to practice racial discrimination for any reason. Racial harassment, jokes, racially-driven company practices or traditional discrimination are all prohibited by law. If you have been the victim of racial discrimination, you may be entitled to back and front pay, reinstatement and additional compensation to cover your damages. If you feel you have been discriminated against in the workplace, contact the experienced employment law team at Weldon & Rothman, PL for a free case consultation today.

Share the Road

Posted on November 19, 2013 by vmcgarity

IMG_5994groupoutside-2

An important part of keeping roadways safe is sharing the road with motorcycle riders. In the event of a crash, motorcycle riders don’t have airbags, seat belts and protective steel enclosures to enhance their safety.  They are truly at the mercy of other drivers on the road. Sharing the road is the best way to help keep motorcyclists and other drivers safe. This means drivers need to be on the lookout for riders.

Keeping Riders and Drivers Safe

It’s especially important to check for motorcycles before turning at intersections and making lane changes. Since motorcycles are smaller than traditional cars and trucks, it’s easy for drivers to overlook them on the road. Always check blind spots before merging and turning. It’s also important for riders to take precautions to keep themselves safe. Never ride distracted, and always make eye contact with the drivers around you. Many riders also choose to wear protective helmets, gloves, boots and jackets. These are great items for minimizing the risk of potential injury. Unfortunately, safety gear doesn’t automatically keep motorcyclists from getting hurt, or even from dying, so it’s important to ride defensively too.

Just the Facts

  • In 2011, there were 4,612 motorcycle fatalities.
  • Per vehicle mile traveled, motorcycle riders are over 30 times more likely to die in a crash than passenger car occupants.
  • Helmets are only estimated to be 37 percent effective in preventing fatal injuries to riders who are involved in wrecks.

After a Motorcycle Accident

Since riders don’t have the safety measures that are available to drivers, they’re at an increased risk for serious and fatal injuries. Even with the proper safety precautions, riders can still become injured or die as a result of a dangerous collision. First, it’s important to get medical attention for your injuries. Motorcycle wrecks can be devastating for riders. Riders may need weeks or even months to recover from injuries. They will be out of work and off of their feet. Once your immediate medical needs have been addressed, contact an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer. An attorney can be a helpful advocate during a difficult time. An attorney can stay abreast of official investigations and help victims recover compensation for their injuries and property damage. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle crash, contact the experienced attorneys at Weldon & Rothman, PL at (855) SWFL-LAW for a free consultation.

Fair Labor Standards Act Overtime Requirements

Posted on November 15, 2013 by vmcgarity

IMG_5994groupoutside-2

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) provides standard requirements to employers for fair employee compensation. The FLSA states that employees who work over 40 hours in a workweek, are to be paid a rate of no less than one and a half times their regular pay. This means that employers are legally bound to pay their employees “time and a half” for any hours over 40 in a workweek.

FLSA’s Overtime Standards

According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD), the 40 hour standard applies on a “workweek” basis. This means that the workweek is fixed and regularly recurring period of 168 hours, which is seven consecutive 24-hour periods.  Additionally, overtime should normally be paid on the regular pay day for the pay period in which the overtime hours were actually worked.

How Employers Get Around FLSA

Few things are worse than not getting paid for long hours. Unfortunately, it has almost become commonplace in some businesses for employers and managers to try to avoid paying rightful overtime rates to hardworking employees. Listed below are just a few of the ways employers try to get around fairly compensating their hardworking employees. If any of the following scenarios sound familiar, you should contact an experienced overtime employment law attorney for a consultation.

How Employers Try to Avoid Fairly Compensating Workers

  • Not counting work-from-home hours
  • Reclassifying an actual employee as an independent contractor
  • Reclassifying an employee as a manager, when he or she is actually an employee
  • Paying employees for “straight time” instead of overtime
  • Allowing or requiring employees to work “off the clock”
  • Not counting breaks and “working lunches” towards overtime
  • Failing to give an employee his or her final paycheck

What if You Haven’t Been Fairly Compensated

There are options available to employees who haven’t been fairly compensated for overtime hours. First, you need to speak with an experienced employment law attorney. If you haven’t been fairly compensated for your overtime hours, contact the skilled team at Weldon & Rothman, PL. It may even be possible to recover liquidated damages too. Don’t let unlawful actions on your employer’s part stop you from getting the money you earned. Contact us today at (877) 730-5180 for a free consultation.

Stay Alert, Stay Alive

Posted on November 13, 2013 by vmcgarity

IMG_5994groupoutside-2

The National Sleep Foundation recently publicized their Drowsy Driving Prevention Campaign. The campaign was launched in hopes of reducing fatigue-related crashes. This year, National Drowsy Driving Prevention Week ran from November 3-10. Since fatigued driving is often under reported and difficult for law enforcement officials to enforce, the campaign is focused on public education.

The Dangers of Driver Fatigue

Driver fatigue is incredibly dangerous for a number of reasons. First, tired drivers are at risk of falling asleep behind the wheel. It goes without saying that fatal and injury-causing crashes are likely to happen when drivers fall asleep. Even when drivers manage to keep their eyes open, their senses are dulled. Their reaction times are slower, and they’re not focusing on the task of driving. Although there isn’t as much data about fatigued drivers, it can be considered just as dangerous if not more dangerous than distracted driving. Drivers need to stay alert to stay alive.

Drowsy Driving According to The American Automobile Association (AAA)

  • AAA estimates that drowsy driving is a factor in one out of every six deadly traffic crashes.
  • Driver fatigue is also estimated to be a factor for one out of eight crashes requiring hospitalization of a driver.
  • In 2010, over one-quarter of drivers surveyed admitted to driving while they were drowsy.
  • Two out of five drivers surveyed admitted to having fallen asleep behind the wheel at some time.

Motorists should note that many cases of drowsy driving go unreported each year, especially where crashes aren’t properly investigated. It’s not as simple as checking a driver’s blood alcohol content. Law enforcement officers may have a difficult time discovering if driver fatigue led to a crash. It’s important to contact an experienced personal injury attorney after any injury-causing crash. An attorney can stay abreast of official investigations, and be your advocate during an otherwise difficult process.

What if You Have Been Hurt by a Drowsy Driver?

Seeking medical attention is the most important thing to do after a crash. It may not be immediately apparent that a driver was drowsy, fatigued or asleep. Investigations can be ongoing in crashes where no immediate cause can be determined. A skilled car accident lawyer can be an indispensable asset during this time. If you’ve been injured by a drowsy driver, contact the experienced team at Weldon & Rothman, PL for a free consultation today.

Sexual Harassment in The Workplace

Posted on November 7, 2013 by vmcgarity

IMG_5994groupoutside-2

An employer has a duty to provide a safe work environment to employees. Employees should be able to do their jobs free from sexual harassment. Sexual harassment can come in many different forms. Anytime a workplace becomes hostile, offensive or intimidating for employees, sexual harassment can flourish. Listed below are just some of the types of sexual harassment that can occur in the workplace.

Common Forms of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

  • A supervisor openly states or implies that an employee must sleep with him or her to keep a job.
  • A coworker or supervisor grabs, pinches or fondles an employee.
  • Employees send emails to coworkers that include sexually-explicit language, images, videos or jokes.
  • An employee’s coworkers or supervisor belittles him or her with sexist or demeaning language.
  • An employee makes demeaning sexual comments about other coworkers, customers or clients.
  • An employee feels uncomfortable due to a supervisor’s sexually explicit jokes or comments.

What Should You Do

If you have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace, contact the experienced legal team at Weldon & Rothman, PL. In addition to contacting an experienced sexual harassment attorney as swiftly as possible, you should also file an internal report with your employer. If you’re not sure how to do that, consult an employee handbook or speak with a supervisor or human resources representative. If you’re being sexually harassed by a supervisor, it may be necessary to go outside of the traditional channels to file an internal complaint.

The Next Level

It may also be necessary to file a report with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR). In many cases, reporting sexual harassment incidents is time sensitive, so it’s important to document everything and speak with somebody as soon as possible. Additionally, your lawyer can also file a civil lawsuit in either the state or federal court on your behalf.

Sexual harassment in the workplace is unacceptable. No employee should have to work in a hostile environment. The experienced team at Weldon & Rothman, PL understands the courage it takes to even come forward with your complaint. We can be your advocate during this difficult time, and help you get the compensation you deserve.

The Dangers of Texting While Driving

Posted on November 5, 2013 by vmcgarity

IMG_5994groupoutside-2

It’s no secret that distracted driving is a dangerous problem on Florida roadways. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles’ “Put It Down, It’s the Law” campaign aims to raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving. Although distracted driving isn’t limited to cell phone usage, texting while driving certainly plays a large part in vehicle crash statistics. Traffic safety agencies nationwide hope to reduce injury-causing and fatal crashes due to distracted driving.

Texting and Driving Statistics

  • Nationally, 11 teens die each day in texting-while-driving crashes.
  • In 2011, 3,331 people were killed in distracted driving wrecks.
  • Last year in Florida, more than 3,400 wrecks happened that involved distractions with electronic devices.
  • Of those 3,400 crashes, 24 fatalities occurred.
  • In 2010, 18 percent of all injury-causing crashes involved distracted driving.
  • According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, drivers who text are 23 times more likely to be involved in crashes.

The Dangers of Texting While Driving

Texting while driving is dangerous for a number of reasons. First, it takes the driver’s eyes off of the road. It’s estimated that sending and receiving text messages takes a driver’s attention for about five seconds. When drivers are traveling at about 55 miles per hour, this can be the same as driving the length of a football field with their eyes closed. A lot can happen in five seconds. Another driver can make an unexpected lane change. A child or pet can dart out in front of a car. Anytime a driver decides to text and drive, he or she is putting everybody on the road at risk. Drivers need to devote their full attention to the task of driving.

What to do After a Crash

Following any crash, it’s important to speak with a skilled personal injury attorney. An attorney can be a victim’s advocate during this difficult time. Not all cases of distracted driving are so easily determined, so an attorney can stay on top of official investigations. Additionally, a personal injury lawyer can also deal with a pushy insurance company. If you or a loved one has been injured due to the actions of a distracted driver, contact the experienced team at Weldon & Rothman, PL.

Car Accident Victims: What to do following a Motor Vehicle Accident in Florida?

Posted on October 3, 2013 by Weldon & Rothman, PL

Most Floridians who have been the victim of a car accident have many questions following the crash. These questions can include issues related to insurance policies, medical care and expenses, property damage, and legal rights. Below, is a short guide to assist Florida car accident victims following a motor vehicle accident:

1. Once your vehicle comes to rest, check to see if you or your passengers are injured. Call 911 or the non-emergency police number (if no one is severely injured) and do not hang up until the dispatcher tells you to do so. To avoid causing further injuries, be sure not to move an injured person unless he/she is in danger of fire or other emergency circumstances.

2. Try to keep calm and do not yell at other drivers involved in the accident. You should not accept any blame for the accident or suggest that you in anyway contributed to the accident.

3. If you have not called 911 already, call the local police or sheriff’s office to report the car accident. No matter how persuasive the at fault driver may be, DO NOT AGREE TO LEAVE PRIOR TO THE OFFICER ARRIVING.

4. If time, safety factors and traffic allow, take a picture of the vehicles and the accident location before the vehicles are moved.

5. Wait for the police to arrive to the scene. Provide a factual report of what occurred. Do not assume or speculate as to what you think occurred. Simply state the facts that you know from your own personal knowledge. Obtain a driver exchange, short form accident report, or a business card from the responding officer with the crash report number so that the long form accident report may be obtained once it is completed by the responding officer.

6. If there are any witnesses to the car accident, be sure to kindly ask them not to leave and obtain their full name, address, home/work telephone number and email address. You should provide this information to the responding officer so that they are also included on the accident report.

7. Before leaving the scene, take a moment to write down exactly how the accident happened and include information such as: approximate speeds of all vehicles, weather conditions, erratic behavior of the other driver, statements made by the other driver (such as: “I am so sorry, I was texting” or “I just looked down for a minute”, etc), the condition of the roadway, whether a traffic light was out, whether the other driver was wearing glasses, whether the other driver had noticeably loud music, and anything else regarding the cause of the accident or any injuries.

8. If you have significant injuries, consider having EMS take you immediately to the hospital for examination. Whether you go to an emergency room or not, you should seek medical attention immediately after the accident as possible to obtain a medical evaluation. If you do go to the hospital, follow your discharge instructions until you follow-up with a healthcare provider.

9. As soon as possible, report the accident to your insurance company. DO NOT GIVE A RECORDED STATEMENT. Simply report the accident, obtain a claim number and, if available, the name and telephone number for the assigned insurance adjuster.

10. As soon as possible, call a local experienced Florida personal injury attorney. DO NOT WAIT. Florida has very short time periods (for example, Florida PIP law requires you see medical attention within 14 days from the date of the accident or your insurance benefits could be reduced by 75%) before your legal rights can be harmed. The prospective attorney for a motor vehicle accident should offer a Free Consultation and you should be able to meet directly with the attorney that will be handling your claim (not a “legal assistant”, “investigator”, “case manager”, “paralegal”, etc). Follow your attorney’s advice as well as your healthcare providers. The most important thing for your health, as well as your claim, is for you to obtain proper medical care and to comply with your healthcare provider’s and attorney’s instructions. Your attorney should obtain and explain to you all of insurance matters, medical bills and property damage, obtain all necessary information to prepare an insurance demand package, negotiate a presuit resolution and/or advise you as to the potential benefits and risks of filing a lawsuit.

Legal Disclaimer: The above guidelines are educational in nature and do not create an attorney/client relationship. It is highly recommended that all Florida accident victims contact an experienced local Florida personal injury attorney to assist them with specific facts and circumstances regarding their motor vehicle accident. If you have been the victim of a motor vehicle accident in Florida, then feel free to contact Attorney Weldon toll free at (877) 730-5180 or via e-mail at info@weldonrothman.com

Court Decision Clarifies The Standard For An Employee To Show Whistleblower Retaliation

Posted on September 24, 2013 by Weldon & Rothman, PL

20130924-065740.jpg

The Florida Whistleblower Act makes it illegal for an employer to retaliate against an employee for objecting to or refusing to participate in any illegal activity, policy, or practice of the employer. In meeting this standard, federal courts interpreting the Florida Whistleblower Act have been split as to whether a Plaintiff had to prove an actual violation of law by the employer, or whether the Plaintiff only had to show a reasonable belief that the employer was violating the law. Until recently, this remained an open question in Florida.

In the case of Aery v. Wallace Lincoln-Mercury, LLC, 38 Fla. L. Weekly D 1632 (July 31, 2013), Florida’s Fourth District Court of Appeal answered the question, creating binding precedent in Florida on the issue. In the Aery decision, the court established that in Florida “all that is required is that the ‘employee have a good faith, objectively reasonable belief that h[is or her] activity is protected by the statue.’”

Weldon & Rothman, PL provides representation to individuals in Southwest Florida who have their employment terminated or suffer other adverse employment action in violation of the Florida Whistleblower Act. If you have been fired, demoted, or suffered other adverse employment action after objecting to or refusing to participate in the illegal activity of your employer, please contact us immediately at (239) 262-2141 or e-mail us at brothman@weldonrothman.com for more information.

Non-Compete Agreements: Employers Protecting Their Business

Posted on September 16, 2013 by Weldon & Rothman, PL

20130916-070829.jpg
As a follow-up to our last article, we take a look at the other side of non-compete agreements… Why would a business owner want a non-compete agreement?

Restrictive covenants and non-compete agreements can be a valuable tool for employers and business owners to protect trade secrets; maintain confidential business information; preserve relationships with customers, patients or clients; defend goodwill; and protect investment in the extraordinary or specialized training of employees.

Non-compete agreements intend to prevent individuals from competing with an employer after employment has ended. Similarly, non-solicitation agreements intend to prevent individuals from soliciting clients or customers or other employees. In Florida, non-compete agreements and restrictive covenants can be enforceable. For successful enforcement, however, non-compete agreements must be, amongst other things, properly drafted and reasonable in duration and scope.

Weldon & Rothman, PL is available to assist Southwest Florida employers and business owners with the preparation and/or enforcement of non-compete agreements and restrictive covenants. At Weldon & Rothman, PL, our attorneys’ can review and consult with you on your existing non-compete agreement or on a specific situation involving your existing non-compete agreement. We also draft non-compete agreements, and offer consultation to explore whether a non-compete agreement may be appropriate for your business.

We offer the following services for Southwest Florida Employers:
