Personal Injury Lawyer in Reseda, CA
Reseda’s street grid was built for a smaller Valley than the one that exists now. Wide boulevards carry regional volume through a neighborhood where people walk to the store.
Where people get hurt in Reseda
Sherman Way and Reseda Boulevard cross in the center of the community and carry heavy traffic in both directions. Victory Boulevard and Vanowen Street run wide and straight, which encourages speed between signals. Reseda Boulevard connects the flats to the hills to the south and to the university traffic to the north, so it carries drivers who are passing through rather than driving locally. Long distances between marked crossings on the major boulevards mean pedestrians cross where they can, and drivers do not expect them.
Treatment, and the deadlines
Northridge Hospital Medical Center is the nearest trauma center for serious injuries. For lesser injuries, get seen anyway and get seen quickly. The single most common self-inflicted wound in an injury claim is waiting a week to see a doctor because you hoped it would resolve.
The general deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit in California is two years from the date of injury under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. Where a city, county, or transit agency may be responsible, including for a dangerous roadway or sidewalk condition, a written claim is generally required within six months under Government Code section 911.2.
Where your case is actually heard
Los Angeles County assigns injury cases to the courthouse serving the district where the accident occurred, with one judge handling the case from filing through trial. Reseda matters generally proceed at the Van Nuys Courthouse.
