The Law Offices of Asher Hoffman represents drivers, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, and families injured in car accidents in Beverly Hills and throughout the Westside. Our Los Angeles office at 4929 Wilshire Blvd is minutes from Beverly Hills, close to the same Wilshire corridor where many local crashes occur. We handle serious injury claims involving private vehicles, rideshare vehicles, commercial drivers, valet operators, delivery vans, uninsured drivers, and dangerous roadway conditions.
Beverly Hills is small in geography, but it carries a traffic load far larger than many cities its size. Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica Boulevard, Olympic Boulevard, Sunset Boulevard, Canon Drive, Beverly Drive, and Doheny Drive move commuters, residents, visitors, hotel traffic, retail traffic, and service vehicles through a dense street grid every day. That mix creates a predictable pattern of rear-end collisions, left-turn crashes, dooring incidents, valet-related impacts, rideshare pickup conflicts, and pedestrian knockdowns.
If you were hurt in a Beverly Hills crash, the first conversation is free. There is no fee unless we recover compensation for you.
A Beverly Hills car accident can look simple at the scene and become complicated quickly. A crash near Rodeo Drive may involve a rideshare driver dropping off passengers, a valet company moving vehicles from a hotel driveway, a delivery truck blocking sight lines, and multiple commercial insurance policies. A collision on Wilshire or Santa Monica Boulevard may involve traffic signal timing, surveillance video from nearby businesses, or a dispute about which driver had the right of way. A crash near Sunset or Coldwater Canyon may involve steep grades, narrow turns, or driveway visibility issues.
Insurance companies know how to use that complexity. They may blame the injured person, minimize the force of the crash, argue that medical care was excessive, or claim that symptoms came from a prior condition. Our job is to lock down the evidence early, identify every available insurance layer, and present the medical and liability proof in a way that puts pressure on the defense.
Every case depends on its facts, but local conditions matter. Beverly Hills collision claims often arise from:
These details can affect who is at fault, what evidence exists, whether a public entity claim deadline applies, and which defendants should be included.
Our firm handles the full range of Beverly Hills motor vehicle collision claims, including rear-end crashes, intersection collisions, left-turn crashes, sideswipe impacts, parking lot and parking structure collisions, hotel and valet-related crashes, rideshare accidents, pedestrian and cyclist impacts, hit-and-run crashes, uninsured and underinsured motorist claims, and fatal collisions. We also investigate whether a commercial driver, employer, vehicle owner, government entity, or property owner contributed to the crash.
Commercial involvement is common in Beverly Hills. Hotels, restaurants, boutiques, medical offices, entertainment businesses, construction projects, and delivery companies all bring company vehicles and drivers into dense streets. When a driver is working at the time of a crash, the employer may be responsible. When a dangerous property layout or valet operation contributed to a collision, premises liability issues may overlap with the car accident claim.
After any serious crash, safety and medical care come first. If you can, take these steps:
Surveillance video in Beverly Hills can be extremely important, but it may be erased quickly. Retail stores, hotels, parking structures, dash cameras, rideshare apps, and city traffic infrastructure may hold evidence that needs preservation immediately.
California is a fault-based state for car accidents. The driver or entity that caused the crash is generally responsible for the injured person’s damages. California also follows pure comparative negligence under Civil Code section 1714, which means an injured person can still recover even if the defense argues they were partially at fault. The recovery is reduced by the percentage of fault assigned.
The usual statute of limitations for a California personal injury case is two years from the date of injury. If a public entity may be responsible, such as the City of Beverly Hills, Los Angeles County, Caltrans, a public bus operator, or another government agency, a government claim may need to be filed within six months. That shorter deadline matters in crashes involving dangerous road conditions, public vehicles, signal timing, missing signs, or roadway maintenance issues.
Beverly Hills injury victims commonly receive emergency or specialty care at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center, Providence Saint John’s Health Center, and nearby orthopedic, neurology, pain management, imaging, and rehabilitation providers. Serious crashes can cause neck and back injuries, disc herniations, fractures, shoulder and knee injuries, concussions, traumatic brain injury, nerve symptoms, chronic pain, scarring, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress.
Recoverable damages may include ambulance bills, emergency care, imaging, surgery, injections, therapy, future medical care, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, property damage, out-of-pocket expenses, pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in fatal cases, wrongful death damages for surviving family members.
We start by identifying every source of proof and every source of coverage. That may include the police report, body camera footage, 911 calls, witness statements, photographs, crash scene inspection, vehicle damage analysis, event data recorder information, surveillance video, rideshare app data, commercial driver records, employer policies, medical records, billing records, and expert analysis when needed.
We also prepare the medical story carefully. Insurance companies often focus on gaps in treatment, prior symptoms, or imaging language they think helps them. We work to connect the crash mechanics, clinical findings, diagnostic imaging, treatment course, functional limitations, and future care needs so the claim reflects the full impact on the client.
When a Beverly Hills crash involves a rider, the evidence and injury issues can be different from an ordinary car crash. See our Beverly Hills motorcycle accident lawyer page for lane splitting, dooring, left-turn, and rider injury issues.
We also handle serious commercial vehicle crashes in Beverly Hills, including delivery truck, box truck, construction vehicle, and hotel supply truck cases. Learn more on our Beverly Hills truck accident lawyer page.
Our firm handles car accident cases across the Westside and Los Angeles County. Depending on where the crash happened, these pages may also help: Los Angeles Car Accident Lawyer, Beverly Hills Personal Injury Lawyer, Santa Monica Personal Injury Lawyer, and Culver City Personal Injury Lawyer. If the crash involved Uber or Lyft, see our Los Angeles rideshare accident lawyer page.
There is no upfront fee. Our firm handles car accident cases on a contingency fee, which means we are paid only if we recover compensation for you.
You may still have a claim. California’s comparative fault rule allows recovery even when fault is disputed. The key is preserving evidence early and pushing back against unsupported blame.
Yes. Injured passengers often have claims against one or more drivers, and sometimes against rideshare, commercial, or uninsured motorist coverage depending on the facts.
The employer, vehicle owner, contractor, or business operation may be responsible in addition to the individual driver. These cases require careful investigation of employment status, insurance, and control over the vehicle.
As soon as possible, especially if you were seriously injured or the crash happened near businesses, hotels, parking structures, or public property. Video and witness evidence can disappear quickly.
