South Carolina trial lawyer Andy Arnold believes the saying that knowledge is power. To help you expand your knowledge base in various areas of the law, our personal injury and employment attorney has provided the links to valuable resources, including:
Employment Law Resources
Employment and labor laws are in place to protect workers. Employment issues regarding discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, non-compete agreements, and other issues can sometimes be confusing. An employee may feel unjustly treated but may be unsure if his or her rights are being violated. Below are links to resources for both South Carolina and federal employment and business law questions.

Nursing Home Legal Resources
As our age expectancies increase, more adults find that they do not have the ability to care for their aging parents and need to place them in nursing homes or long-term care facilities. Unfortunately, understaffing and/or undertrained staff at these care facilities can lead to nursing home abuse, neglect, and medical malpractice, putting the health and lives of loved ones at risk. Below are numerous resources provided by South Carolina personal injury attorney Andy Arnold to help prevent and stop nursing home abuse.
