Aaron Hicks Lands Two Back-to-Back $5+ Million Verdicts

Aaron Hicks Secures Two Major Multi-Million Dollar Verdicts in November / December 2025

Orange, California — December 18, 2025 — Veteran trial attorney Aaron Hicks, founder of Hicks Law Firm, has achieved two extraordinary verdicts in November & December 2025, underscoring his exceptional litigation skills and commitment to securing meaningful justice for injured clients.

In back-to-back published outcomes this month, Mr. Hicks secured:

A $5,402,700 bench trial verdict and fraudulent transfer ruling in a catastrophic personal injury case in Oceanside, CA in November, 2025. The case involved a severe Interstate 5 collision resulting in permanent, life-altering injuries and a judicial finding that the at-fault driver engaged in a fraudulent transfer of property to impede creditor recovery. The court voided the transfer and awarded substantial economic and non-economic damages on behalf of the plaintiffs. (Read Details)

A $5,343,672 jury verdict in a disputed premises liability trial in Alhambra, CA in December 2025 along with Co-Counsel Nico Mamone of Bentley & More. After contested litigation over the cause of a trip-and-fall injury at a Food4Less location, the jury determined that unsafe conditions — specifically improperly placed pallets and cooling equipment in violation of the store’s own safety policies — were a substantial factor in causing serious spinal injuries requiring future medical care.

Uncommon Dual Success

Earning a single multi-million dollar verdict is a noteworthy achievement in civil litigation. Achieving two separate multi-million dollar outcomes within weeks of one another — arising from markedly different factual and legal frameworks (fraudulent transfer litigation and contested premises liability) — is uncommon and reflects a high degree of strategic preparation, trial advocacy, and client-focused representation.

These results demonstrate Mr. Hicks’s versatility at trial across complex personal injury and civil justice matters. They also reflect his firm’s capacity to manage deeply contested cases from factual development through verdict, even in scenarios involving intricate evidentiary and legal issues.
