It is all well and good to fine a corporation that has elevated profits over the lives and safety of its passengers. But until those who made the decisions and those who looked away too cowardly to blow the whistle, are held responsible personally, these tragedies will be repeated. There must be significant consequences, said Ronald Goldman, Baum Hedlund aviation attorney for Max 8 victims.

The report indicates the plane was totally out of control, said Ronald L.M. Goldman, a pilot, #aviation #attorney and senior partner with Baum Hedlund, a Los Angeles-based firm.

Medscape interviews Baum Hedlund #whistleblower lawyer Mark Schlein about #hospicecarefraud. "My experience is there is a greater susceptibility to engaging in fraudulent and abusive practices among some for-profit hospices than for nonprofits," Schlein said.

WHAT'S THAT LEGAL TERM? "Burden of proof" requires the suing party to prove a fact in court. This standard is different in civil and criminal cases. In civil cases, the plaintiff must prove their case by a "preponderance of the evidence," while in a criminal case, the defendant's guilt must be demonstrated "beyond a reasonable doubt." https://www.baumhedlundlaw.com/

A U.S. District Judge has ruled in favor of our client in a 1st Amendment #civilrights case against the Mayor of #Irvine, who blocked constituents from posting criticisms on her Facebook page concerning the City of Irvine's budge and the Black Lives Matter #BLM movement.
