The types of cases that Mr. Ikuta has handled have arisen out of incidents involving truck and other motor vehicle crashes, premises liability, sexual abuse and medical malpractice, and he has been able to obtain numerous sizable jury awards and negotiated settlements on behalf of his plaintiff clients.
