UCLA-Trained Attorneys, Not a Call Center
I grew up in Thousand Oaks, graduated from Thousand Oaks High School and UCLA Law School, and I've spent my career fighting for people who were seriously hurt in crashes across the Conejo Valley and greater Los Angeles. These cases aren't just files on a desk. I know what families go through after a serious accident, and I take that responsibility seriously.
When the Intersection Itself Is the Problem
Not every crash is a driver's fault. Under California Government Code § 835, a public entity, whether it's a city, county, or Caltrans, can be held liable when a dangerous condition on public property causes injury. A "dangerous condition" can include poor sight lines, missing turn lanes, inadequate signage, confusing lane markings, or signal timing that doesn't account for actual traffic patterns.
What makes a road design case different from a standard auto accident claim is evidence of notice. If a city knew or should have known about a hazard and failed to fix it, they're on the hook. Crash history at a specific location is one of the strongest forms of evidence that a condition was known. When the same spot produces crash after crash, it becomes very difficult for a government entity to argue they had no idea.
