Labor Code Section 4553 Serious & Willful Misconduct Defense Law Firm Practice Areas
Laughlin, Falbo, Levy & Moresi LLP defends employers when an employee’s injury is alleged to have been caused by an employer’s “serious and willful misconduct” under California Labor Code Section 4553. LFLM attorneys are well-versed in the latest case law, changes in statutory law, and safety regulations. We work closely with safety managers and supervisors to bring the claim to resolution. Claims in this practice area can also involve third-party lawsuits and subrogation, all of which are within LFLM’s expertise.
