Insurance companies, who like to make profits, may sell you “full coverage.” But beware! Full coverage legally is very different from what you should have practically. And not knowing the difference can land you in economic disaster. Car insurance can feel like a confusing maze of options and…

Florida recognizes many (but not all) verbal contracts. For a contract to be valid in Florida, it must contain the following elements: Both parties need
If you built a business with a trusted partner and then discovered they are stealing from you, the disbelief, anger, and betrayal can feel overwhelming.
It can be scary to see a tractor trailer driving right behind you on the freeway, and catastrophic if it hits your car. Trucks can
If you are part of a professional sales force, making a sale can take a tremendous amount of work, from cold calling, following up on leads, site visits, and negotiating terms, until the final moment when both parties sign the contract and the sale is complete. In some cases, the sales cycle can take months, or even years. If you are paid on commission, you are entitled to receive the compensation you are due. Unfortunately, some employers take advantage of their sales reps and refuse to pay commissions they previously promised. Many employees are scared to fight for their rights because they believe they can’t take on a business. Fortunately, if a company has refused to pay your commissions due, the law is on your side.
The first step in fighting for your commissions is meeting with Rader Law Group to review your contract. If your contract is in writing, your case will likely be easier to prove, however, oral contracts are valid in Florida, so you may still be able to receive your commissions if you had a verbal agreement with your employer. The contract should include details on how you earn a commission as well as the percent or dollar value of the commission. It should also include information on the performance requirements for the commission (if any) as well as its payment schedule and any other pertinent details. If your contract is unclear on the details or was an oral contract, you will need supplementary evidence, such as texts or emails, to support your case.
The most common approach to recover your commissions is to sue your employer for breach of contract. If your employer agreed to pay you a commission when you make a sale and they refuse to pay, they are breaking their contract with you. Not only is the company obligated to pay your commissions, they may also be obliged to pay your attorney’s fees as well. For this reason, many employers will pay the commissions due once they find out that you have an attorney to minimize their incremental costs.
A second option for recovering your commissions is suing your employer for civil theft. While theft is generally reserved for criminal cases, civil theft is a special exception that allows an employee to sue their employer if the employer committed fraud or stole from them. In a civil theft case, you can win up to three times the value of your unpaid commissions. Not all cases of unpaid commissions are civil theft, so your attorney will review the details of your case to determine if this option applies to your situation.
If you have unpaid commission due, you have a limited amount of time to sue your employer to compel them to pay. Contact Rader Law Group today for a free case evaluation to start the process of achieving financial justice.

Cruising is one of the most popular ways to see the world. But what happens if the trip doesn’t go as planned?
While most cruisers create lifelong positive memories, the opposite can happen as well. Every year, passengers are injured, often by slip and fall accidents, on their long-anticipated vacations. The motion of the ship combined with slippery decks or stairwells can be a dangerous mix for anyone, and especially for older passengers. If you slipped and fell on a cruise ship, in addition to a ruined vacation, you may be facing high medical bills and lost wages when you return ashore.
Cruise lines have a team of savvy lawyers that make it difficult for you to receive your rightful compensation for your injuries, but don’t be deterred. By working with a personal injury attorney who is experienced in recovering justice for cruise ship passengers, you may be able to secure compensation for your injuries.
When you purchased your cruise tickets, you agreed to the cruise line’s terms and conditions, which detail where you need to file a lawsuit, the timeline for filing a lawsuit, and the limits of the cruise lines liability. Many (but not all) cruise lines list the venue for filing the lawsuit as a county in Florida, often Miami-Dade or Brevard Counties. If your ticket lists Florida as the venue for the lawsuit, whether you are a Florida resident or not, you will need an attorney licensed to practice in Florida to file the lawsuit for you. In addition, the ticket also details the length of time you have to report the details of the injury to the cruise line, which in many cases is only a few months, so you need to act quickly. For these reasons, if you were seriously injured by a slip and fall on a cruise line, seek medical care, and once you return to port and are in stable condition, be sure to keep all of your paperwork for the cruise, and contact Rader Law Group.
We will start by meeting with you on the details of your accident and analyzing the fine print on your contract to determine if you have a legal case against the cruise line. In many cases, we find that the cruise line may have acted negligently and was responsible for causing a passenger’s injuries. We will then work with your doctor and possibly other medical experts to quantify the dollar amount of your injuries. If you are unable to work, we determine the total amount of lost wages you have accrued as well as the future lost wages you will experience. Depending on the scope of your injuries, you may be eligible for compensation for pain and suffering as well.
Cruise lines have large legal departments to thwart passengers’ attempts to recover damages incurred while cruising. You need an experienced professional on your side to jump over the hurdles they set and aggressively pursue your claim. Call Rader Law Group today for a free consultation on your case.
