Personal Injury Lawyer in Granada Hills, CA
Granada Hills is quieter than most of the Valley until you get to the boulevards, where regional traffic and freeway access change the picture entirely.
Where people get hurt in Granada Hills
Balboa Boulevard is the main north-south route and carries substantial volume with long blocks and higher speeds. Devonshire Street and Chatsworth Street run east-west through residential areas that generate constant turning and parking movements. The 118 freeway interchanges at Balboa and at Woodley put merging traffic into surface streets abruptly. San Fernando Mission Boulevard carries a mix of local and through traffic. North of Rinaldi, the streets climb toward the foothills and narrow, and drivers coming down carry more speed than the road forgives.
Treatment
Providence Holy Cross Medical Center in nearby Mission Hills is a designated trauma center and receives serious injuries from across the north Valley.
The deadlines that matter
Two years from the date of injury is the general deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit in California under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. Where a public entity may be responsible, including for the condition of a street, a sidewalk, or a traffic control device, a written claim generally must be presented within six months under Government Code section 911.2. Freeway interchange design and signage questions raise public entity issues more often than people expect.
Where your case is actually heard
Los Angeles County assigns injury cases to the district where the accident occurred, before a single judge from filing through trial. Granada Hills matters are generally heard at the Chatsworth Courthouse or the San Fernando Courthouse depending on the specific location.
