Q. Will a waiver protect me from liability for bounce house rentals in California?
A: Having renters sign a waiver won’t completely shield you from liability. Liability waivers can be enforceable and do offer some protection, especially if they are clearly written, easy to understand, and specifically outline the risks involved with using a bounce house. However, California law does not allow waivers to protect against liability for gross negligence, reckless conduct, or defective equipment. This means that if someone gets hurt because the bounce house wasn’t set up properly, was poorly maintained, or if your actions (or lack of oversight) are seen as careless, the waiver may not hold up in court.

To better protect yourself, you should also take additional steps beyond just using a waiver. This includes maintaining your equipment to high safety standards, following all state and local regulations, and carrying liability insurance tailored to the bounce house rental business. Insurance can be especially critical in covering legal costs and damages if someone does get injured. You might also want to consider forming an LLC or another business entity to further protect your personal assets. So while waivers are useful and should absolutely be part of your rental process, they’re just one piece of a broader strategy to manage your legal risks in California. ... Read More
Q. Glass door injury at Union Bay Apartments leading to head and wrist injuries. Do I have a case?
A: Yes, it sounds like you may have a strong case. In California, property owners like Union Bay Apartments have a legal responsibility to keep their premises safe for visitors. If you walked into a glass door that wasn’t clearly marked or visible—especially when you were following instructions to head to the leasing office—that could be considered negligence on their part. Glass doors are supposed to have decals or markings to prevent exactly this kind of accident, and if that was missing, the apartment complex could be held liable.

The fact that you’ve suffered real injuries—especially a torn ligament in your wrist confirmed by an MRI, ongoing head pain, and time off work—shows that this incident has had a serious impact on your life. Turning down cortisone shots doesn’t hurt your case either; you’re allowed to make decisions about your treatment. What’s important is that you sought medical attention and have documentation of your injuries. ... Read More
Q. What common law statutes define hospice fraud?
A: THis is a broad question but I'll try and address is under both Federal and California law. In California, hospice fraud is generally addressed under broader statutes that deal with fraud and healthcare fraud rather than specific "common law statutes." The relevant laws and regulations include both state and federal statutes. Here are some of the key legal provisions that might be applied in cases of hospice fraud:

Federal Laws

False Claims Act (FCA):

The FCA imposes liability on individuals and companies who defraud governmental programs. It includes penalties for submitting false claims to Medicare and Medicaid, which is pertinent to hospice care fraud.

Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS):

The AKS prohibits the exchange (or offer to exchange), of anything of value, to induce or reward the referral of federal healthcare program business. This is relevant to hospice providers who might engage in kickbacks to get referrals.

Health Care Fraud Statute:

This federal statute criminalizes schemes to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including Medicare and Medicaid.

California State Laws

California False Claims Act (CFCA):

The CFCA is similar to the federal FCA and imposes liability for making false claims for payment from the state government, including Medi-Cal (California’s Medicaid program).

California Insurance Code Section 1871.4:

This statute makes it illegal to submit false or fraudulent claims for payment of a healthcare benefit, relevant to private insurance claims.

California Penal Code Section 550:

This section addresses various forms of insurance fraud, including knowingly presenting false or fraudulent claims for the payment of a healthcare benefit.

Business and Professions Code Section 17200 (Unfair Competition Law):

This section prohibits unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent business acts or practices. This can be used to address fraudulent business practices by hospice care providers.

In practice, hospice fraud cases often involve a combination of federal and state statutes, as well as common law theories. The prosecution may be pursued by federal or state authorities, and private individuals may also bring civil suits under these laws.

I hope this helps!
