  • Injured at Work? Should You File For Workers' Comp or a Civil Claim?

    If you have suffered an on-the-job injury like millions of people do each year, then it is likely that you need some form of compensation.

Insights Into How Our Legal System Works

Hello, I'm Christina Miller. Have you ever been fascinated with why the law works the way it does? Ever since I was in junior high, I had an intense interest in anything related to our legal system, whether it be a crime drama on television, a judge show or a legal case covered on the news.
