At the Law Offices of Asher Hoffman, we represent Glendale residents and the Glendale area families seriously injured by another party’s negligence.

Founding attorney Asher Hoffman brings trial experience and a personal understanding of long-term recovery to every case. After undergoing spinal fusion surgery for severe scoliosis, he knows firsthand what it means to navigate medical care, recovery timelines, and financial pressure. That perspective shapes how he and our team treat every client: with empathy, transparency, and unwavering advocacy.
Every client at our firm has direct access to their attorney, honest communication about case strategy and value, and a team prepared to negotiate or litigate as the facts require. The process begins with a free consultation, with no obligation and no fee unless we win.
Glendale is a city of more than 200,000 residents in Northeast Los Angeles County, one of the most populous cities in California. Sitting at the convergence of three major freeway corridors and home to some of the highest-traffic commercial retail destinations in the region, Glendale presents a demanding personal injury risk profile for residents, visitors, and commuters alike.
Major roads and freeways carrying daily traffic through Glendale include:
Brand Boulevard, Glendale Avenue, Colorado Street, Central Avenue, San Fernando Road, and Los Feliz Boulevard carry significant daily traffic through Glendale. The Brand Boulevard and Glendale Avenue corridors, in particular, see heavy pedestrian activity from the Americana at Brand and Glendale Galleria retail districts.
Glendale is home to the Americana at Brand and the Glendale Galleria — two of the highest-traffic retail destinations in Los Angeles County — generating constant pedestrian, parking structure, rideshare, and delivery-vehicle activity. The city’s extensive restaurant row along Brand Boulevard, active hotel corridor, and large entertainment production facilities also create significant premises liability and traffic-related injury exposure.
Our firm represents Glendale clients across the full range of personal injury matters. Each case is treated as a unique legal and factual puzzle that demands a tailored strategy.
Vehicle collisions are the leading source of personal injury claims in Glendale. Common causes include distracted driving, speeding, impaired driving, unsafe lane changes, and rear-end crashes. We represent drivers, passengers, and pedestrians injured in collisions throughout the city. Read about our car accident practice.
Glendale sits along major commercial-vehicle corridors. Big-rig and commercial vehicle collisions can cause catastrophic injuries. We investigate trucking company hours-of-service compliance, driver fatigue, improper cargo securement, and equipment maintenance failures to build strong third-party liability cases. See our truck accident page.
Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to lane-change collisions, left-turn intersection crashes, and rear-end impacts at signalized intersections throughout Glendale. We pursue full economic and non-economic damages for injured riders. Learn more about motorcycle cases.
Pedestrian and cyclist injuries are particularly common at high-traffic intersections including Brand Boulevard at Colorado Street, the I-5 / SR-2 interchange, and San Fernando Road at Los Feliz Boulevard. We hold negligent drivers accountable and pursue full damages for the often-catastrophic injuries pedestrian and bicycle collisions cause. Learn about pedestrian accident claims.
Property owners in Glendale have a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions for invitees and guests. When wet floors, broken handrails, inadequate lighting, parking lot defects, or other unsafe conditions cause injury, the property owner or operator may be liable. See our slip and fall practice.
Rideshare collisions involve complex layered insurance policies and complicated liability questions. Whether you were a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian, we navigate the multi-coverage analysis to identify every available source of recovery. Read our rideshare accident page.
California’s strict liability dog bite statute holds owners responsible for injuries their dogs cause regardless of prior aggression. We represent both children and adults bitten in residential neighborhoods, public parks, and commercial areas throughout Glendale. Learn about California dog bite cases.
Our firm does not handle workers’ compensation claims, but we do represent employees injured at work due to a third party’s negligence. Common cases involve defective equipment, negligent contractors, hazardous material exposure, and unsafe premises at construction sites, warehouses, and commercial properties throughout Glendale. See our workplace accident practice.
Few experiences are as devastating as losing a loved one to negligence. We represent surviving family members in wrongful death claims involving fatal car crashes, pedestrian collisions, workplace accidents, and other negligent conduct. Our firm provides compassionate guidance through the legal process while pursuing full financial recovery. Learn about wrongful death cases.
California law allows injured plaintiffs to recover both economic and non-economic damages. The amount depends on the severity of the injury, the impact on the plaintiff’s life and earning capacity, and the strength of the evidence supporting liability.
Compensation in a Glendale personal injury claim may include:
We work with medical experts, life-care planners, vocational economists, and accident reconstructionists to fully document the value of your case. Insurance companies routinely undervalue claims, especially when injured plaintiffs are unrepresented; our role is to ensure you are fully compensated for what you have lost.
Major hospitals and trauma facilities serving Glendale accident victims include:
Always follow your treating physician’s recommendations, attend every scheduled appointment, and keep detailed records of every visit, prescription, and bill. These records are essential to documenting the full impact of your injuries.
Personal injury lawsuits arising in Glendale are typically filed at the Los Angeles Superior Court. The most relevant courthouses are:
California’s standard statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. Claims involving public entities — the City of Glendale, the State of California, or a public agency — require a government tort claim within just six months of the incident. Missing either deadline almost always means losing the right to recover.
The hours and days after an injury are critical, both medically and legally. Taking the right steps protects your health and strengthens your eventual claim.
Immediately after an accident in Glendale:
Insurance companies treat unrepresented claimants very differently from claimants represented by lawyers known to take cases to trial. Our firm is built on accessibility, honesty, and trial-readiness — all of which directly affect what insurers are willing to pay.
Reasons clients choose our firm:
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Glendale?
California’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. Claims against a government entity, such as the City of Glendale or a public agency, require a tort claim within six months. Always speak with an attorney as early as possible to avoid missing a deadline.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
California follows a “pure comparative negligence” rule. You can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault, but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20 percent at fault and your damages are $100,000, you would recover $80,000.
How much does it cost to hire a Glendale personal injury attorney?
Our firm works on a contingency-fee basis. You pay nothing upfront, and we are only paid if we recover compensation for you. Initial consultations are always free.
Do I have to go to court?
The majority of personal injury cases settle before trial. However, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial, because thorough preparation drives stronger settlement outcomes.
How long does a Glendale personal injury case take?
Timelines vary based on the complexity of the case, the severity of injuries, and the willingness of insurers to negotiate fairly. Some claims resolve in a few months; others take a year or more, particularly when serious injuries require ongoing treatment before the full damages can be calculated.
What is my Glendale personal injury case worth?
Case value depends on the severity of injuries, the impact on your life and ability to earn, the strength of the liability evidence, and the available insurance coverage. We provide an honest evaluation during your free consultation.
