Maximizing Compensation for the Injured.
Suffering a severe injury due to another party’s negligence is a life-altering event. Between mounting medical bills, lost wages, and physical rehabilitation, the aftermath of an accident can be overwhelming. Insurance companies frequently exploit this vulnerability, offering lowball settlements that fail to cover your long-term needs.
At Broukhim Legal PC, we level the playing field. We aggressively pursue maximum compensation for your pain, suffering, and financial losses. We manage every aspect of the legal process, from investigating the scene and consulting medical experts to negotiating with insurance adjusters, so you can focus entirely on your physical recovery.

Types of personal injury cases we handle
- Car accidents: Rear-end, intersection and freeway collisions across Los Angeles County.
- Truck accidents: Commercial vehicles, which bring a second insurance policy and federal safety records into the case.
- Motorcycle accidents: Where injuries are usually severe and the fault argument starts at the scene.
- Pedestrian accidents: Crosswalk collisions, marked and unmarked, on streets across the city.
- Bicycle accidents: Dooring, bike lane incursions and turning collisions, where riders are blamed by default.
- Uber and Lyft accidents: Where the coverage that applies depends on what the app was doing at impact.
- Bus and public transit: Metro and municipal operators, which owe a higher duty and carry a six-month claim deadline.
- Hit and run: Where the driver left and your own uninsured motorist coverage becomes the claim.
- Uninsured and underinsured motorists: Where the at-fault driver had no cover or nowhere near enough, and your own insurer pays.
- Drunk driving victims: A civil claim that runs separately from the prosecution, and may reach punitive damages.
- Slip and fall: Claims against property owners for unsafe conditions they knew about or should have.
- Premises liability: The wider duty an owner owes, covering stairs, lighting, structures and common areas.
- Negligent security: Assaults that were foreseeable at that address, proved from police call history and the state of the premises.
- Drowning and pool incidents: Where California already sets the fencing, gate and supervision rules these claims are judged by.
- Dog bites: Strict liability under Civil Code section 3342, with no need to show the dog had ever bitten before.
- Construction accidents: Third-party claims that run alongside workers compensation and reach what it does not pay.
- Defective products: Strict liability, which asks whether the product was defective rather than whether anyone was careless.
- Catastrophic injuries: Where the claim has to account for decades of care rather than a course of treatment.
- Traumatic brain injury: Including the mild injuries that insurers dispute hardest because the scan looked clear.
- Spinal cord injury: Paralysis and disc injuries, where lifetime cost decides the value rather than the first offer.
- Amputation and limb loss: Where prosthetics are replaced on a cycle and that cost is rarely in the first offer.
- Burn injuries: Fires, chemicals and defective products, where treatment runs long after a file would normally close.
- Wrongful death: Claims brought by surviving family under Code of Civil Procedure section 377.60.

Personal injury, answered plainly.
You can deal with an insurer directly, and for a minor property-damage claim that is often sensible. It becomes a bad idea once there is an injury. The adjuster’s job is to close the file for as little as possible, and the first offer usually arrives before anyone knows what your treatment will actually cost. Representation changes what the claim gets measured against.
Injury cases are taken on a contingency basis: no fee up front, no hourly billing, and a fee only if there is a recovery. Case costs (records, experts, filing fees) are advanced and reimbursed out of the recovery. California requires the rate to be set out in a written agreement, separately from costs, and the rate is negotiable rather than fixed by law.
California sets firm deadlines and they are shorter than most people expect. They also change depending on who is responsible: a claim involving a city, county, transit agency, public hospital or school district can require a formal written claim within months of the injury, long before any lawsuit is filed. Because a missed deadline ends a case whatever its merits, have the date confirmed early rather than late.
Nobody can tell you honestly at the first call, and you should be sceptical of anyone who does. Value depends on the injury and how it resolves, the treatment record, lost earnings, the effect on your daily life, the insurance actually available, and how clearly fault can be proved. A realistic range emerges once treatment has taken shape and the records are in.
Most injury cases settle. The ones that settle well are the ones prepared as though they will not: liability established, damages documented, experts in place. If the offer never becomes reasonable, trial stays on the table, and the other side knows it.
California follows a comparative fault rule, so being partly responsible reduces a recovery rather than eliminating it. Insurers routinely overstate a claimant’s share of the blame in the early stages, which is one of the main reasons not to give a recorded statement before speaking to a lawyer.
