UCLA-Trained Attorneys in Reseda
Two locations account for more collisions in Reseda than everywhere else combined: White Oak at the 101 and Reseda Boulevard at the 101. Eighty crashes between them, nearly 40 of which put someone in the hospital. If your case came out of one of those ramps, the insurance company has seen dozens like it and has a settlement range in mind before anyone reviews your file.
What changes that range is documentation. Freeway ramp collisions generate disputed liability almost automatically, because merging and yielding are judgment calls and both drivers remember it differently. The version that prevails is usually the one supported by physical evidence gathered early, not the one argued loudest six months later.
UCLA-Trained Attorneys, Not a Call Center
I grew up in the San Fernando Valley, graduated from El Camino Real High School and UCLA Law School, and I've spent my career representing people who were hurt because someone else wasn't paying attention. I take these cases personally because I've watched families in this community deal with the aftermath of serious crashes. If you were injured, I want to hear what happened.
What Makes Your Case Different From Day One
The 101 ramps, the Reseda Boulevard corridor, and a hit and run rate near 40 percent. Here is what the local record means for your claim.
Sherman Way through Reseda carries dense commercial traffic with frequent delivery trucks, parking lot entries, and pedestrian crossings. Rear-end collisions and pedestrian incidents are common along this corridor.
The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center estimates lifetime care costs for a complete cervical SCI at $5M or more. Building the life care plan that documents these costs requires expert collaboration between your attorney, a physiatrist, a life care planner, and an economist.
Unlike some states, California does not cap pain and suffering damages in personal injury cases (the MICRA cap applies only to medical malpractice). Spinal cord injury victims can recover the full value of their non-economic losses — quality of life, loss of independence, and emotional distress.

Compensation Available in Your Case
Freeway ramp collisions produce disputed liability and real injuries. Recovering full value depends on documenting every category below, including the treatment still ahead of you.
Medical Expenses
Emergency treatment, imaging, orthopedic and neurological care, physical therapy, and prescriptions from the collision forward.
Lost Wages
Income lost during recovery, documented through payroll, tax returns, or business records depending on how you earn.
Lost Earning Capacity
An injury that permanently limits what work you can do costs you money for years. That figure belongs in the claim and has to be calculated.
Pain & Suffering
Ongoing pain, disrupted sleep, and anxiety about driving the same ramp again. Adjusters discount these automatically unless the record forces otherwise.
Property Damage
Repair or total loss at fair market value, rental car costs, and personal property destroyed in the crash.
Uninsured Motorist Recovery
With more than 110 hit and run collisions on record here, UM coverage is frequently the actual recovery, and your own insurer becomes the opposing party.
Future Medical Costs
Some injuries need years of follow-up. We work with medical experts to project that cost rather than leave it out of the demand.
Punitive Damages
Available where conduct was reckless rather than careless. Fifty-two impaired driving collisions are on the Reseda record.
