Amazon Flex Drivers May be Owed Back Taxes and Benefits
The Law Office of Stan M. Doerrer PLLC is currently investigating whether Amazon Flex drivers may be owed additional compensation. A recent Virginia legal opinion has affirmed a prior finding that Amazon Flex drivers are employees, not independent contractors. See Amazon Logistics, Inc. v. Va. Empl. Comm’n, 78 Va. App. 521 (Va. Ct. of Appeals Sept. 26, 2023). As such, Amazon Flex drivers in Virginia, as well as the District of Columbia and Maryland, may be entitled to compensation.
If I’m injured as a child, can I sue as an adult?
In most states, YES. But you must act fast once you reach the age of majority. And the hard part is often obtaining evidence.
Children or minors (typically those under 18) are frequently injured as the result of another’s negligent or intentional conduct. For example, car crashes, dog bites, and other incidents sometimes occur and cause long lasting damage. But sometimes the victim does not even know that they have a potential case. And nothing is done. After an injury, adult victims have a limited period to bring suit which is determined by their state’s statute of limitations which is frequently 2 or 3 years. For adults, if they fail to bring suit within that time period, they are out of luck. But if you are injured through the fault of another while you are a minor– in many states the statute of limitations does not even START to run until you turn 18

Romaine Lettuce Investigation
Attorney Stan M. Doerrer is currently investigating the multi-state E. coli outbreak that has been linked to romaine lettuce. As of April 27, 2018, at least 98 people from 22 states have been affected with the outbreak strain of Shiga toxin-producing STEC O157:H7. There has been at least one reported case from Virginia.
Symptoms of an E. coli infection include severe diarrhea (potentially bloody), fever, loss of appetite/nausea, and abdominal cramps. While some people recover without treatment, diarrhea, dehydration, and potential complications including hemolytic uremic syndrome can develop so individuals should seek medical attention if they are experiencing these symptoms.
