Liam Perry is the founding attorney of Perry Personal Injury Lawyers, a California firm that takes car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, rideshare and slip and fall injury claims. He is licensed by the State Bar of California under bar number 296507. The firm, legally Perry Law, Inc., handles personal injury claims exclusively, for the clients he describes as everyday people: the painter, the welder, the accountant.
Liam grew up on California's Central Coast and graduated from high school in Morro Bay. He earned a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of California San Diego, worked for a year, and then attended the University of San Diego School of Law. He was admitted to the State Bar of California on May 24, 2014, and has practiced in the state since. His father practiced family law, and Liam credits that household with teaching him to stand up for the underdog.
After law school, Liam spent about six years at a civil litigation firm, much of it business litigation and insurance coverage work. That work is why he describes his current practice the way he does: "So I now get to sue the insurance companies that I was previously representing." He left a partner-track position to take on personal injury cases referred by a friend's firm in Los Angeles, often cases that needed a different view, and went on to build his own firm. Perry Personal Injury Lawyers is headquartered in San Diego and offices in Encinitas, Costa Mesa, La Mesa, Oceanside, Victorville and La Quinta.
One of Liam's first cases as a plaintiff's attorney was a wrongful death claim for the children of a woman killed by a truck whose driver admitted fault, with a million-dollar policy behind it. The attorney representing three of the children believed cases in the Central Valley did not settle for that much and had spent months seeking about $200,000. Liam wrote the demand, and the claim settled within a week for the million-dollar policy. Another case he points to involved a deaf client T-boned by a truck whose insurer said dash cam footage showed she ran a red light. After years of litigation the footage showed she had the green light the whole way, and she is now taken care of for the rest of her life. Each result turns on its own facts and does not predict the outcome of any other case.
Liam's practice is built on keeping clients informed. He lays out the life cycle of a case at the start, helps injured people reach the right specialists, and asks adjusters and defense counsel to put their positions in writing. Outside of casework, he and the firm take on volunteer matters without a fee and work with the Consumer Attorneys of California on legislation that affects injured consumers. He hosts Personal Injury Law Uncovered w. Liam Perry, available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and the firm's YouTube channel, and his host page on the podcast site lists his episodes. His license can be confirmed on his State Bar of California profile.
