South Carolina Episcopalians take fight to court
Law Firm News |
2014/07/11 10:08

About 50 conservative Episcopal churches in South Carolina are in court this week, trying to keep their name, seal and $500 million in land and buildings after they broke away from the national denomination in a wide-ranging theological dispute.
The breakaway group, the Diocese of South Carolina, said it had to leave the national church not just because of the ordination of gays, but a series of decisions it says show national Episcopalians have lost their way in the teachings of Jesus and salvation.
The national church argues the split wasn't properly made, and it is fighting for the 20 or so churches in South Carolina staying under its umbrella.
Property disputes in the Episcopal Church and other Protestant churches have been going on for decades and end with varying results.
In March, the U.S. Supreme Court decided not to intervene in a dispute between the Episcopal Church and a conservative northern Virginia congregation that left the denomination in a rift over homosexuality and other issues. The court left in place a judge's decision siding with the national church, ending a seven-year fight over a church that traces its roots back to George Washington.

From the moment an employee is injured, there are time limits for both the employee and employer. Employers must make certain reports to the court system for North Carolina Worker's Compensation case, Industrial Commission. Employer reports do not satisfy the reporting obligations of the employee or extend the time limit for the employee to make his claim.
Under certain circumstances, an injured employee may report their injury to their employer and even be paid for time missed from work. If the employee does not make the proper filing with the Industrial Commssion, the employee's claim can be dismissed and they will receive no further benefits.
It is critical to know what benefits to demand. An injured worker is entitled to numerous benefits, unfortunately it is not the employer's obligation to advise their injured employee of these benefits. At DiRusso & DiRusso, we offer free consultations with attorneys who practice Worker's Compensation.
If you're in need of a Surry County Worker's Compensation Lawyer, contact DiRusso & DiRusso today.

Life insurance is meant to provide financial support to your loved ones. Life insurance money is often used to pay for funeral expenses, taxes and other bills that are difficult to pay after the death of a loved one. Regrettably, life insurance companies don't always uphold their promises to pay these benefits when grieving family members are most in need. Insurance companies have countless ways to cause additional hardship to grieving family members by attempting to justify a wrongful denial decision. They may delay payment, pay a portion of the benefits, or deny the claim altogether. They are able to do this by improperly lapsing life insurance policies, combing through records for unmet requirements, pointing our technicalities in the policy language, or even disagreeing with the coroner regarding the manner of death.
The attorneys at McKennon Law Group have over forty years of combined experience in quickly identifying and addressing the wrongdoings of insurance companies. Our attorneys have the most experience available due to defending insurance companies with respect to the claims listd above. The McKennon Law Group has represented clients in disputes against some of the largest life insurance companies in the nation: Metlife, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance, Northwestern Mutual, CIGNA, Life Insurance of North America, Provident, and many more.
Our attorneys can inform you of your legal options and guide you through the settlement process. We handle cases on a contingency fee basis. So, if you believe your insurance company has wrongfully denied your claim and is preventing you and your loved ones from collecting life insurance benefits, please contact our Los Angeles LIfe Insurance Claim Attorneys at (949) 387-9595 for a free consultation.
