What is personal injury law?
Personal injury is a blanket term used to describe any injury resulting from the negligence of another party. Personal injury claims can involve everything from auto accidents to product defects and slip and fall accidents. To successfully pursue a personal injury claim, it is necessary to first demonstrate that negligence occurred and, second, that the negligent act or failure to act resulted in injury or death.
Which types of personal injury cases do you accept?
At Hodes Milman Liebeck, each of our attorneys has the training and experience to handle a variety of personal injury claims. We are particularly passionate about representing victims of serious personal injury, including individuals and families whose lives have been turned upside-down by traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and wrongful death. Without proper representation, these types of injured individuals can face devastating long-term consequences.Our firm is not intimidated by so-called “tough cases.” We aggressively represent the interests of victims in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside counties and throughout the state of California.

Do I really need an attorney to handle my case?
Personal injury lawsuits can be both time-consuming and incredibly complex. To ensure that your legal rights are protected and that your case proceeds in a timely fashion, it is always best to consult a personal injury attorney for advice. Minor accidents can sometimes be resolved in small claims court, but when a large claim is at issue, the assistance of an attorney can be invaluable. Any type of large claim will require a significant amount of paperwork, research, and direct negotiation with insurance companies. An experienced personal injury attorney will not only be familiar with these processes, but they will also know how to use them to the advantage of their clients. An attorney can help put your mind at ease and also maximize your compensation.
What should I do if I’ve been injured?
Following an accident, it is incredibly important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The shock of the event can mask pain for hours, or even days. Once treatment has been concluded, the next logical step is to contact an attorney to discuss your case. It will be your attorney’s job to determine whether your case meets the criteria necessary to collect damages. If you’ve been injured and would like an attorney’s advice, contact Hodes Milman Liebeck today. We serve Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside counties and throughout the state of California, and we would be happy to connect you with a personal injury or brain injury attorney near you to discuss your case.
How can I tell if I have a cause of action?
If you have been injured and you believe the negligence of another party contributed to your injury, the simplest way to determine whether you have a claim for compensation is to discuss the details of your case with an attorney. If you contact Hodes Milman Liebeck, one of our personal injury attorneys will be available to quickly evaluate your claim. Our firm’s hallmark is meticulous research and preparation; once we have reviewed the details of your case, we will provide you with an honest assessment of your claim and recommend a course of action. Keep in mind that consultations are free, and if we elect to take your case, there will be no fee unless there is recovery.
How much compensation can I expect to receive?
There is no specific formula we can use to predict compensation for any given claim. The value of your case is influenced by several key factors, including the extent of injury, medical expenses (both long-term and short-term), and your current and future conditions.
Victims of negligence can potentially receive compensation for lost wages, medical bills, and emotional and physical pain and suffering. If you elect to speak with a personal injury attorney at our firm, we can give you a basic assessment of your claim for compensation based on the facts of your case and the outcome of cases similar to your own. There are no certainties when it comes to compensation; however, we would not accept your case if we did not feel there was potential for success.
