Why The Injury Firm founder Hiva Bana left other firms to build her own

Hiva Bana, Esq. (@heevaloo) worked at other law offices before founding The Injury Firm, an accident law firm with offices in Anaheim Hills and Irvine. In a Juice Unlocked podcast clip posted April 18, she explained why she went out on her own.

She said she first worked at an immigration attorney's office, then at a personal injury office, and was grateful for both but wanted to do things differently.

Hard cases and a different culture

That started with the cases she takes. She said she did not want "the perfect cases" and likes digging through police reports, witness statements and 911 call logs to find what can counter the other side's argument.

The other reason was culture: she said she wanted the kind of workplace she never had at any firm she worked for.

“I didn't want to take the perfect cases. You know, I like the challenges.”

About the firm

Juice Unlocked's caption said the firm recovered more than $23,154,000 for clients in 2025. The firm's website says it offers free case evaluations, charges no fee unless it wins and has staff who speak Spanish, Korean, Vietnamese, Arabic and Persian. Phone: (949) 575-8875.

“I like looking at the police report, the witness statements, the 911 call logs, to see, hey, what can I find to counter that argument?”
