California is in its third year of little to no rain. Its interesting that as the East Coast was literally bombarded with rain and snow, we had virtually nothing. Water? What water?
Here in hot and sunny California, we are having the worst drought since the mid 1800s, according to National Geographic. As of today, nearly 60% of the state is declared to be in an “exceptional drought”. This is a title reserved for the most severe category.
We have had droughts in the past, obviously. This one, however, comes with a few surprises. Of small importance, the bottled water you are drinking may have come from this very dry and needy state! In more urgent matters, San Diego Scripps has declared that due to such severe dryness, the mountains have actually grown by one-half of an inch. Other scientists are declaring that it will affect the fault lines and we can expect more severe earthquakes, more often. In fact, we had one just yesterday.
The best (or best-behaved at least) divorcing couples approach the process agreeing: “You keep your stuff; I’ll keep mine.” Then there are those couples that take a different approach. Instead of an amicable handshake and a pleasant, conscious uncoupling, some soon-to-be divorcees put their divorce attorney on speed dial and don’t quit until they have way more than their fair share. But with figures this high at stake, who could blame them? Here are a few celebrities who owe their divorce attorney a nice big hug.
1. Linda Hogan Hulk Hogan’s wife received 70%of their liquid assets, in addition to other property, in their 2009 settlement. Public records show that Linda got a total of $7.44 million, while Hulk Hogan, in some sort of a legal headlock, received only $2.97 million. Linda spent 26 years married to Hulk Hogan – which breaks her settlement into a little over $286,000 a year. Not a bad salary!
2. Dayanara Torres The former Miss Universe and former Mrs. Marc Anthony reportedly receives $16,500 per month in alimony and child support, but is currently seeking to raise that number to a whopping $113,000 per month.
When you are injured on the job, it can cause more than just physical pain. Injuries can cause you to miss weeks, even months of work, causing you to miss out on the money that you need to support yourself and your loved ones. If you were hurt at work, you need to hold to responsible parties accountable, but how can you know for sure if your employer is liable? Hiring a workers compensation attorney can help you to determine whether or not you are eligible for damages following your injury on the job.
There are a variety of circumstances in which you will know whether or not you should hire a workers compensation attorney as soon as you can. If your injuries necessitated surgery, your medical benefits are denied, you don’t think you will be able to return to your current position, or you just cannot go back to your job on a regular basis, you should speak with a lawyer. Regardless of what the circumstances of your injury may have been, you can still consult with an attorney about what to do next. If the injuries that you sustained are preventing you from returning to work, a lawyer can fight on your behalf to get you the damages that you need to compensate your missed time at work, medical expenses, and more.
When looking for a lawyer to handle your case, you should schedule a consultation with more than one lawyer. During these consultations, you should inquire about past cases handled and ask about their success rate. Your lawyer should have a good track record for cases similar to yours. You should also ask about the lawyer’s background, skills, and experience. You should be sure that you feel completely comfortable communicating with the lawyer, and he or she should be receptive to your thoughts. You should also inquire about the fees that will be charged whether or not you win your claim.
If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it. – Julius Caesar
