Practice Areas: Medical Malpractice

Benjamin T. Ikuta is an attorney who joined Hodes Milman Liebeck, LLP in 2016.  Ben focuses on nursing home negligence, elder abuse, personal injury and product liability.  For eight years prior to working at Hodes Milman Liebeck, LLP, Ben worked for firms that primarily focused on defending skilled nursing facilities, residential care facilities for the elderly, hospitals, physicians, and nurses. He defended elder abuse, malpractice, and employment-related actions.. In October of 2012, Ben was the second-chair for a trial in defending a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (“RCFE”) in an elder abuse case.  The RCFE had served grade D commercial steak to its residents.  After an 85-year old resident choked on the meat, the staff at the RCFE failed to call for the paramedics for approximately 20 minutes, resulting in the elder’s death.  After a 6-week trial, where Ben cross-examined the elder’s family, the meat manufacturers and distributers, and an expert doctor, the jury returned a unanimous verdict in favor of Ben’s client.  In another case, Ben defended a registered nurse accused of sexual misconduct in an administrative hearing and received a favorable result of probation.  As a defense lawyer prior to joining Hodes Milman Liebeck, LLP, Ben routinely secured judgments in favor of healthcare providers and insurance companies.. In 2016, Ben realized that his true calling was not in defending healthcare providers and insurance companies, but rather to work for those injured by wrongdoing.  This was particularly true for vulnerable and defenseless elders in claims of reckless neglect against RCFEs, Skilled Nursing Facilities, and Hospitals. Ben’s extensive experience with defense firms provides him a unique perspective in relation to the tactics and strategies implemented by insurance companies, corporations, and defense attorneys. This experience from the other side of the table allows Ben to represent plaintiffs more effectively and obtain the best possible results.. Education. Ben received his Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and his Bachelor of Arts in Economics from UCLA. Ben earned his Juris Doctorate from the University of California, Hastings College of Law, where he served as Symposium Editor of the Hastings Law Journal. During law school, Mr. Ikuta made significant contributions to the public sector, providing research and recommendations for the Judicial Council of California and the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission..

February 2, 2017: $150,000 recovery in a failure to identify breast cancer in a mammogram against a radiologist.  The case settled after Ben prevailed after the first part of a two-part trial as to whether his client’s case was timely filed.

I graduated cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh where I earned a Bachelor of Philosophy degree in Film Studies with a certificate in Russian and East European Studies.  During my undergraduate studies, I also attained the university’s highest undergraduate merit scholarship as well as its higher undergraduate research fellowship — the Chancellor’s Scholarship and Chancellor’s Fellowship.  In 1998, I was accepted by Southwestern University’s SCALE program, the first ABA-accredited two year year law school program.  During my graduate studies, I attained the university’s highest merit scholarship, the Wildman Scholarship. I received my Juris Doctor in May 2000 and became a member of the California State Bar later that year. Most of my thirteen years of civil litigation have been as defense counsel for California employers where my philosophy is simple: “assess your legal risks and identify your options for managing those risks.”
