If you were injured because someone else was careless, the Law Offices of Asher Hoffman can help you pursue full and fair compensation. Our Long Beach office represents people injured in car crashes, truck accidents, pedestrian and bicycle collisions, rideshare accidents, unsafe properties, workplace incidents involving third parties, and other acts of negligence.
You will have direct access to your attorney throughout your case. We investigate the incident, preserve evidence, handle the insurance companies, document the full extent of your damages, and prepare every case with trial in mind.
Your consultation is free, and you pay no attorney’s fee unless we recover compensation for you.
We handle personal injury matters on a contingency-fee basis. There is no upfront attorney’s fee, and you do not pay an attorney’s fee unless we obtain a recovery for you.
Most California personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years. Claims involving the City of Long Beach, the Port of Long Beach, Long Beach Transit, or another public entity may require a government claim within six months.
Yes. California follows pure comparative negligence, meaning your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault rather than eliminated entirely.
We handle car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle, rideshare, premises-liability, wrongful-death, and qualifying third-party workplace injury claims.
Long Beach sits at the intersection of some of the heaviest commercial and passenger traffic corridors in Southern California. The Port of Long Beach is the second-busiest container port in the United States, with daily truck activity that flows north and east through city streets and onto regional freeways. That combination of high-volume commercial vehicles, dense urban surface streets, and major freeway interchanges produces a personal injury risk profile unique in California.
Key corridors driving Long Beach accident volume include:
The downtown Long Beach core, the waterfront convention and cruise district, the Long Beach Airport corridor on Spring Street, and the high-density residential areas in East Long Beach and Bixby Knolls also produce consistent premises liability, rideshare, and pedestrian accident claims.
Our firm represents Long Beach clients across the full range of personal injury matters. Each case type presents distinct liability theories, insurance coverage issues, and damages considerations.
Vehicle collisions on Long Beach streets and freeways are the most frequent source of personal injury claims in the city. We represent drivers, passengers, and pedestrians injured throughout Long Beach in collisions involving distracted driving, impaired driving, speeding, red-light violations, and commercial vehicle negligence. See our Long Beach car accident practice.
The Port of Long Beach generates more commercial truck traffic through city streets than any comparable urban area in California. Big-rig collisions on the I-710, Harbor Scenic Drive, Anaheim Street, and the warehouse and logistics corridors in North Long Beach are frequent and often catastrophic. We investigate hours-of-service violations, driver fatigue, improper cargo loading, and equipment maintenance failures. Read about our Long Beach truck accident practice.
Long Beach riders face disproportionate risk on the I-710, PCH, and the city’s densely trafficked surface streets. Drivers failing to check mirrors before lane changes, opening doors into the motorcycle lane, and cutting off riders at intersections are among the most common causes we see. Learn more about Long Beach motorcycle accident claims.
Long Beach cyclists face driver turns, dooring, unsafe passing, rideshare stops, delivery vehicles, port traffic, beach-path conflicts, and unsafe intersections near downtown, Belmont Shore, PCH, and the Long Beach Boulevard corridor. We handle bicycle crash claims involving negligent drivers, dangerous roads, hit-and-runs, commercial vehicles, and disputed insurance coverage. See our Long Beach bicycle accident lawyer page.
The downtown core, Belmont Shore’s 2nd Street corridor, Pine Avenue, and PCH near Alamitos Beach are high-volume pedestrian zones. The combination of foot traffic, rideshare pickups and drop-offs, and inattentive drivers produces serious pedestrian injuries throughout the city. Learn about Long Beach pedestrian accident claims.
Property owners and operators in Long Beach have a duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions. We represent clients injured at Long Beach retail centers, restaurants, hotels, the Pike Outlets, the Convention Center complex, apartment complexes, sidewalks, parking structures, and commercial properties throughout the city. See our Long Beach slip and fall practice and our Long Beach premises liability lawyer page.
Long Beach is a high-volume rideshare market anchored by the Long Beach Airport, the cruise ship terminal, the Convention Center, and the dense downtown and Belmont Shore entertainment districts. Whether you were a passenger, another driver, a pedestrian, or a cyclist, we navigate the layered insurance policies that apply to rideshare crashes. Read our Long Beach rideshare accident page.
Our firm does not handle workers’ compensation matters, but we represent Long Beach workers injured on the job due to a third party’s negligence. Port workers, warehouse employees, construction workers, and delivery drivers frequently have third-party claims against contractors, property owners, equipment manufacturers, or other drivers that go well beyond workers’ comp benefits. See our Long Beach workplace accident practice.
When a fatal accident claims a family member, Long Beach surviving spouses, children, and parents may pursue wrongful death claims against responsible parties. We represent families navigating these claims while also dealing with grief and financial disruption. Learn about Long Beach wrongful death claims.
Our firm represents injury victims throughout Downtown Long Beach, Belmont Shore, Naples, Alamitos Beach, Bixby Knolls, East Long Beach, North Long Beach, Cambodia Town, Wrigley, Los Altos, Bluff Park, and surrounding communities including Signal Hill and Lakewood.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Long Beach?
California’s statute of limitations for personal injury is two years from the date of the accident. Government entity claims — involving the City of Long Beach, the Port, or a public agency — require a tort claim filing within six months.
What if I was partly at fault for my Long Beach accident?
California follows pure comparative fault. Even if you were 30 percent at fault, you can still recover 70 percent of your damages. An insurer may try to inflate your share of fault to reduce what they pay; having an attorney who knows how to counter that argument matters.
Do I need a lawyer if the other driver’s insurance already offered me money?
Insurance adjusters work for the insurance company, not for you. Early offers are typically far below the full value of your injury. A Long Beach personal injury attorney can evaluate whether the offer reflects the actual scope of your damages before you sign a release that permanently waives your rights.
How much does it cost to hire a Long Beach personal injury attorney?
There is no upfront cost. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we are only paid if we recover compensation for you. We discuss the fee structure in your free initial consultation.
What if the at-fault driver had no insurance?
California law requires insurers to offer uninsured motorist coverage. If you were injured by an uninsured driver, your own UM policy may provide coverage. We identify every applicable insurance policy and pursue every available source of recovery.
If you or a family member were seriously injured in Long Beach, contact the Law Offices of Asher Hoffman for a free, no-obligation consultation. We have a Long Beach office at 3605 Long Beach Blvd and meet clients throughout Los Angeles County. There is no fee unless we recover compensation for you.
