The Law Offices of Asher Hoffman represents people seriously injured in Manhattan Beach and throughout the South Bay. From crashes on Sepulveda Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue to bicycle and pedestrian injuries near The Strand, Manhattan Beach Pier, downtown, and El Porto, we help injured clients deal with insurance companies, medical bills, lost income, and the pressure that follows a serious accident.
Our office at 4929 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 780 in Los Angeles serves clients across Los Angeles County. Manhattan Beach injury cases often involve a mix of local residents, visitors, commercial drivers, rideshare vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, and city-controlled property. That local context matters. A crash on Sepulveda is not investigated the same way as a fall on a city walkway or an e-bike collision on The Strand.
Founding attorney Asher Hoffman has represented seriously injured Californians for more than a decade. Clients get direct attorney access, practical case guidance, and trial-ready preparation from the start. The consultation is free, and there is no fee unless we recover compensation for you.
Manhattan Beach is a small city with unusually dense traffic patterns. Beach visitors, LAX-area commuters, delivery vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, and local families all move through the same limited corridors. Some of the most common injury locations include:
Car accidents in Manhattan Beach often happen on Sepulveda Boulevard, Rosecrans Avenue, Manhattan Beach Boulevard, Highland Avenue, and the roads feeding the pier and downtown. We investigate fault, preserve video where available, handle insurer communications, and document the full impact of the injury. Learn more about our Los Angeles car accident practice.
Manhattan Beach businesses, restaurants, hotels, construction sites, and retail centers rely on commercial vehicles. When a delivery truck, work truck, or company vehicle causes a crash, the case may involve the driver, employer, vehicle owner, maintenance vendor, or other responsible parties. Read about our Los Angeles truck accident practice.
Motorcyclists traveling through the South Bay face serious risk when drivers fail to check blind spots, make unsafe left turns, or crowd riders in traffic. Injuries are often severe because riders have little protection at impact. See our Los Angeles motorcycle accident practice.
Manhattan Beach has heavy pedestrian and bicycle traffic near The Strand, the pier, downtown, schools, beach parking areas, and major surface streets. E-bike and scooter incidents are increasingly common. These cases often require fast preservation of video, witness information, rental-company records, and city-maintenance records. Learn about our Los Angeles pedestrian accident practice.
Property owners, landlords, businesses, and public entities must use reasonable care to keep premises safe. We handle falls in restaurants, retail stores, hotels, parking lots, apartment properties, sidewalks, public walkways, and beach facilities. City-owned property can trigger a six-month government claim deadline. See our Los Angeles slip and fall practice.
California Civil Code Section 3342 generally makes dog owners strictly liable for bites that occur in public or anywhere the injured person was lawfully present. Dog bite injuries in beach cities can involve off-leash dogs, residential properties, parks, and public walking areas. Read about our Los Angeles dog bite practice.
When negligence causes a fatal injury, surviving family members may have wrongful death and survivor claims. We help families investigate what happened, identify all responsible parties, and pursue accountability. Learn about our Los Angeles wrongful death practice.
Depending on the facts, compensation may include medical expenses, future medical care, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, and out-of-pocket costs. In wrongful death cases, surviving family members may recover for the loss of financial support, companionship, care, and household services.
California follows comparative fault. Even if an insurance company argues you were partly responsible, that does not automatically defeat your claim. It may reduce the recovery by the percentage of fault assigned, which is why evidence and careful investigation matter.
Personal injury cases arising in Manhattan Beach are generally filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. South Bay civil cases are commonly handled through the Torrance Courthouse at 825 Maple Ave, Torrance.
California’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury. If a public entity may be responsible, including the City of Manhattan Beach, Caltrans, or another government agency, a government claim may need to be filed within six months. That shorter deadline can apply to dangerous conditions on city sidewalks, The Strand, public parking areas, beach facilities, and other public property.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Manhattan Beach?
Most California injury claims have a two-year deadline. Claims against a public entity can require a government claim within six months.
What if I was partly at fault?
California follows comparative fault. You may still recover compensation, but your recovery can be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
Can I bring a claim for an e-bike or bicycle crash on The Strand?
Yes, depending on fault and available insurance. These cases require fast evidence preservation, including photos, witness information, video, and rental or ownership records.
What does it cost to hire the firm?
Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee. There is no upfront fee and no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you.
