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.

Dangerous road design

When the Road 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, and the 7 crashes recorded along Sepulveda Boulevard over the last nine months are exactly that kind of pattern.

Frequently asked questions

Common Questions After a Crash Here

How dangerous is Sepulveda Boulevard in Westwood?
CHP data shows 7 reported crashes along Sepulveda Boulevard in Westwood in the last nine months, with an injury rate of 43%.
Does the road design on Sepulveda Boulevard affect my case?
Potentially. If the road design contributed to your crash, the public entity responsible for maintaining Sepulveda Boulevard may share liability, but you must file a government tort claim within six months, not the standard two-year deadline.
If crashes are spread across multiple intersections on Sepulveda Boulevard, who is responsible?
It depends on the road. Streets in California can be maintained by the city, the county, or Caltrans, and some corridors change jurisdiction mid-road. An attorney can determine which agency maintains Sepulveda Boulevard and whether a government tort claim is viable.
Does the type of crash on Sepulveda Boulevard affect whether the road design is at fault?
Broadside collisions account for 29% of crashes along this corridor. When the same collision type repeats along an entire road, it shifts the question from individual driver behavior to road design and maintenance.
I was in a crash on Sepulveda Boulevard but I do not remember the exact cross street. Can I still file a claim?
Yes. You do not need to know the exact intersection. If you know you were on Sepulveda Boulevard and you were hurt, that is enough to start. CHP records include GPS coordinates and officer descriptions of the crash location. An attorney can pull the full report and match it to the documented crash pattern on this corridor.
