Local Knowledge of Northridge Roads and Crashes
We help clients in the area around CSUN, the streets off Nordhoff Street, and the Tampa Avenue corridor. Student traffic around California State University, Northridge and the wide boulevards along Nordhoff Street and Reseda Boulevard contribute to frequent collisions. The crashes we see here cluster around Reseda Boulevard at Nordhoff Street, Tampa Avenue at Nordhoff Street, and the 118 Freeway at Reseda Boulevard. Serious injuries in this area are often treated at Northridge Hospital Medical Center, and we work directly with providers so your treatment is documented and your bills are managed.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Northridge
- Get checked by a doctor right away, even if you feel okay, because injuries like concussions and soft-tissue damage often surface a day or two later.
- Take photos of the vehicles, the road, and your injuries, and write down the names of anyone who saw what happened.
- Politely decline to give the other insurer a recorded statement until you have spoken with an attorney.
- Reach out to a local lawyer who can take over the paperwork and the calls while you focus on healing.
How These Crashes Happen and Who Pays
Most of these wrecks trace back to distracted driving, speeding, impaired drivers, unsafe lane changes, or a failure to yield. Because California is a fault state, the driver who caused the crash and their insurer owe you for your losses. Claims arising in Northridge are generally handled at the Van Nuys Courthouse.
What Your Claim May Be Worth
A full claim can include your past and future medical treatment, the income you lose while you recover, your reduced ability to earn going forward, vehicle and property damage, and the physical pain and emotional toll of the injury.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Northridge car accident lawyer cost?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, so you pay no attorney fee unless we recover for you, and the consultation is always free.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in California?
Usually two years from the date of the crash. Claims involving a government vehicle or agency can have much shorter deadlines, so contact a lawyer early.
What if the other driver was uninsured?
You may still recover through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. We check every policy that could apply to your crash.
