Local Knowledge of Van Nuys Roads and Crashes
We help clients in Kester Ridge, the area around Van Nuys Airport, and the Lake Balboa border. As one of the busiest hubs in the Valley, Van Nuys combines wide, fast arterials with constant freeway access, a mix that produces a high volume of serious intersection crashes. The crashes we see here cluster around Van Nuys Boulevard at Victory Boulevard, Sepulveda Boulevard at Roscoe Boulevard, and the 405 Freeway at Victory. Serious injuries in this area are often treated at Valley Presbyterian Hospital, and we work directly with providers so your treatment is documented and your bills are managed.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Van Nuys
- Prioritize your health and get a full medical evaluation, since some injuries are not obvious at first.
- Document everything you can, photos, the police report number, and the other driver and vehicle details.
- Do not accept a quick settlement or sign anything from an adjuster before a lawyer reviews it.
- Speak with a personal injury lawyer who knows the local courts and can value your claim correctly.
How These Crashes Happen and Who Pays
Speed, phone use, and drivers running lights cause a large share of these collisions. Under California’s fault system, the person who caused your crash is responsible for the harm it caused. Claims arising in Van Nuys are generally handled at the Van Nuys Courthouse.
What Your Claim May Be Worth
Depending on your case, you may recover the cost of treatment and rehabilitation, lost paychecks and future earning capacity, repair or replacement of your property, and compensation for pain, suffering, and disruption to your life.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Van Nuys 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.
