- Wrongful TerminationIf an employee is fired they will usually have the right to an administrative hearing, hired,, or they will have the opportunity to sue their employer for wrongful discharge. In general, employees don't have a legal duty to ensure that no one gets hurt in the workplace. If other employees are not adequately supervised or there is not adequate security, this does not give rise to a suit against the employer. These are the kinds of negligence claims that are generally barred by workers' compensation. There can be exceptions, however, when an employer intentionally creates an unsafe work environment. Also, employers are responsible for dealing with issues that make a hostile work environment, like sexual harassment. If an employer is aware of the conditions or should be aware of them and fails to act, then they may be personally liable for an injury that results.

- Social Security DisabilityThere is a lot of confusion between the Social Security Administration’s two disability benefits programs: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). If you have questions about the difference between SSDI and SSI and which one makes the most sense in your case, you are not alone.
