FMLA and CFRA both provide important job-protected leave rights, but they are not the same.

For California employees, understanding the differences can matter when it comes to:

Who is covered
Which employers are subject to the law
Who you can take leave to care for
Pregnancy and bonding leave
What protections may apply if your leave is denied

California law can provide broader protections in several areas, including coverage for smaller employers and additional family relationships.

Swipe through for a simple breakdown of the key differences between FMLA and CFRA.

If you believe your leave rights were denied, discouraged, or retaliated against, it may be worth learning more about your options.

🎒 Back to School Means More Kids on the Road

School buses are back, drop-off and pick-up areas are busy, and more children are walking and riding their bikes to and from school.

For drivers, this is an important reminder to slow down, stay alert, put the phone away, and expect the unexpected. A child may enter a crosswalk unexpectedly, ride out of a driveway, or step into the street from between parked cars.

A few extra seconds behind the wheel can make all the difference.
In our latest blog, we discuss California school-zone safety, sharing the road with pedestrians and bicyclists, and what families should know if a child is injured in a collision.

At Gomerman | Bourn & Associates, we represent people and families who have been seriously injured because of negligence. But we'd much rather see these accidents prevented in the first place.

This school year, give yourself a few extra minutes and give our kids a little extra room. ❤️

Think you were wrongfully terminated? The details matter.

Sometimes, it isn't one email or one document that tells the whole story. Performance reviews, text messages, workplace complaints, disciplinary records, timing, and even witness accounts can all help provide a clearer picture of what happened before an employee was terminated.

Our latest GOBO Blog discusses the types of employment records, termination evidence, and workplace documentation that may be important when evaluating a potential wrongful termination claim.

Because being treated unfairly and being terminated unlawfully aren't always the same thing—and understanding the evidence can be an important first step.

What happens when there’s no one behind the wheel—but something goes wrong?

Robotaxis are becoming a familiar sight on California roads, especially here in the Bay Area. While autonomous vehicle technology is fascinating, recent recalls and incidents involving companies like Waymo and Cruise raise some important questions about safety and accountability.

If an autonomous vehicle causes an accident, who is responsible? Can an injured person still pursue compensation? And what happens when the issue may involve software or technology rather than a negligent driver?

Our latest GOBO Blog takes a closer look at these questions, along with real incidents that are helping shape the conversation around autonomous vehicle safety.

Technology may change. Accountability shouldn’t.

A family forever changed. ❤️

More than a year after a devastating San Mateo crash took the life of 30-year-old mother Yina Ramos Bello and seriously injured her two young sons, the driver involved has now been charged with felony vehicular manslaughter.

It is easy to read a headline like this and focus on the accident, the investigation, or the criminal charge. But behind this story is a husband who lost his wife, two children who lost their mother, and a family whose lives changed forever in a matter of seconds.

Our latest GOBO Blog takes a closer look at this heartbreaking story, the importance of accountability, and the responsibility each of us carries every time we get behind the wheel.

Our thoughts remain with Yina's husband, her sons, and everyone who loved her.

Disclaimer: Gomerman | Bourn & Associates did not represent the family and is reporting the verdict based on local news reports.

Justice was served.

When we first shared the story of Grace Spiridon and Gregory Ammen, we talked about the incredible courage it takes for a family to bring a case like this to trial.

Now, after a three-week trial, a San Mateo County jury has returned a $33 million verdict for Grace and Greg’s twin daughters.

No verdict and no amount of money can ever bring their parents back. But accountability matters.

We are so happy for this family and hope this verdict brings them some measure of peace, closure, and justice as they continue moving forward.
