As a personal injury attorney based minutes away on Ventura Boulevard in Encino, I represent Reseda accident victims directly, and I use former in-house insurance defense attorney insight to fight for what your case is worth.

Where Accidents Happen in Reseda

The Los Angeles Department of Transportation has identified Reseda Boulevard for its Complete Streets safety program, a designation reserved for corridors where the city has identified a documented need for safety improvements. A handful of corridors account for most of the accidents I handle in Reseda.



• Reseda Boulevard, identified by LADOT for a dedicated safety improvement project, with frequent vehicle and pedestrian conflicts along its commercial stretches
• Sherman Way, a major east-west artery carrying heavy through traffic across the mid-Valley
• Nordhoff Street, where intersection collisions are common during peak hours
• The 101 Freeway access points at Reseda and Tampa, where merging traffic creates rear-end and lane-change risk
• The Metro G Line corridor, where bus-pedestrian conflicts cluster near stops and crossings

Reseda is largely residential and working-class, and a lot of the accidents I see here happen on ordinary errands: commuting, school pickup, grocery runs. That doesn't make the injuries any less serious, and it doesn't make the claims any less worth pursuing.

Types of Cases I Handle in Reseda

I represent Reseda clients hurt by someone else's negligence.

• Car accidents, including rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, and freeway on-ramp incidents
• Slip and fall accidents at stores, apartment complexes, and parking lots
• Dog bite injuries in residential neighborhoods
• Pedestrian and bus-related accidents near Metro G Line stops and crossings

California follows a pure comparative negligence rule, so you can still recover compensation even if you're found partially at fault, with your award reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurers often try to inflate your share of the blame specifically to shrink what they owe, which is exactly the kind of argument I know how to counter as former in-house counsel at Safeco Insurance.

What to Do After an Accident in Reseda

Step 1:

Get medical care

Get medical care first, even if your injuries seem minor at the time. Some injuries don't show their full severity until days later.

Step 2:

Report the incident

Report the incident, whether that's calling police after a crash or notifying a property owner after a fall, and get a copy of the report if one's available.

Step 3:

Document the scene

Take photos of the scene, the hazard or vehicles involved, and your injuries if you're able to, and get contact information from any witnesses.

Step 4:

Avoid recorded statements

Avoid giving a recorded statement to an insurance adjuster before talking to me. Fast offers usually aren't generosity. They're a strategy to close your claim before you know the full value of your injuries.

What It Costs to Hire Me

• No upfront cost: I take Reseda personal injury cases on contingency
• No fee unless I win: you only pay if your case results in a settlement or verdict
• No cost to find out where you stand: a case review is free whether or not you move forward



Fast settlement offers are a strategy, not generosity. I can usually tell within a case review whether a number reflects the full value of your claim or whether it's designed to close things out before your injuries have fully developed.

Direct Access to Your Attorney

When you call my office, you speak with me, not a case manager or an assistant. I take cases on contingency, so there's no fee unless I win, and a free consultation costs you nothing while you find out whether your case is worth pursuing.
