Breach of Contract
Formal relationships within an organization are most of the time put in paper. Signing over obligations, agreements, and salary concerns is a common practice. However, there are still some instances wherein contracts are not honored—offenders may be unaware or deliberately breaching the contract.
Breach of contract is not something exclusive to companies. It is also common when deals are made for rental of property, contractors, and dealers of supplies and equipment.
Labor
Most of the work-related cases filed in courts involve employment-related claims. Age and racial discrimination, sexual harassment, and unjust termination are just a few examples.
Injuries
Throughout Evan Granowitz’s law career, he had defended and prosecuted numerous lawsuits concerning personal injury. Personal injury cases comes in two very familiar forms; a lawsuit could be about the very serious and genuine endangerment of the well-being of an employee; or about a fraudulent individual who just faked his or her injury and didn’t really thought it through setting up their case.
This kind of lawsuit is more commonly referred to as “tort.” Organizations should let their guard down against tort just because it is uncommon. However, if it occurs, the large financial settlement would deal some damage to the company.
