Why Personal Injury Cases Require Skilled Legal Representation
Insurance companies are not in the business of offering fair compensation willingly. They have teams of adjusters and attorneys whose primary goal is to minimize payouts. Without a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer advocating for you, you could end up accepting a settlement that barely covers your medical expenses, let alone your future needs.
At Noravian Law Firm, we level the playing field. We understand the tactics insurers use and are prepared to counter them with solid evidence, persuasive negotiation, and if necessary, courtroom litigation in Los Angeles County courts.

Personal Injury Accident Trends in Van Nuys
Personal injury accidents are a significant concern throughout California. According to the California Office of Traffic Safety and the California Department of Public Health, Los Angeles County consistently reports the highest number of injury-causing accidents in the state. In 2023, over 250,000 injury collisions and 4,000 fatalities were reported statewide, with Los Angeles County accounting for a substantial share.
Van Nuys carries a disproportionate share of that burden. A Crosstown LA study conducted with USC found that the intersection of Sepulveda Boulevard and Sherman Way recorded 47 collisions in a single year, ranking it the most dangerous intersection in the entire city of Los Angeles. That same study found Van Nuys is home to six of the city’s twenty most dangerous intersections, including Sepulveda at Victory, Sherman Way at Woodman, Sherman Way at Kester, and Sepulveda at Erwin. Beyond vehicle accidents, slip and fall injuries, workplace incidents, and defective products contribute heavily to local injury rates. Noravian Law Firm is here to advocate for your full financial recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
In most California cases, you have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If a government entity was involved, such as a City of Los Angeles vehicle or a dangerous condition on a public street like Van Nuys Boulevard, you may have as little as six months to file a government tort claim. Van Nuys personal injury cases are filed at the Van Nuys Courthouse East on Sylmar Avenue, and contacting an attorney early is critical to protecting these deadlines.
California follows a pure comparative fault system, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you shared some responsibility. Your recovery is reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault, but you do not automatically lose your right to recover. Fault is frequently disputed at Van Nuys intersections like Sepulveda and Sherman Way, where heavy traffic and complex turning movements make it hard to establish who had the right of way. We work to minimize any fault unfairly attributed to you.
The value of your case depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, the impact on your ability to work, and the degree of pain and suffering you experienced. No two cases are identical. Our attorneys evaluate every case individually to determine the full value of your damages and pursue maximum compensation on your behalf.
Sepulveda and Sherman Way: Why Van Nuys Leads the City in Intersection Crashes
What sets Van Nuys apart from other Los Angeles communities is a difficult distinction: it contains more of the city’s most dangerous intersections than any other neighborhood.
Research from Crosstown LA in partnership with USC identified the intersection of Sepulveda Boulevard and Sherman Way as the single most collision-prone intersection in Los Angeles, with 47 crashes recorded in one year. Van Nuys accounts for six of the city’s top twenty, a list that also includes Sepulveda Boulevard at Victory Boulevard, Sherman Way at Woodman Avenue, Sherman Way at Kester Avenue, and Sepulveda Boulevard at Erwin Street. Just to the north, Van Nuys Boulevard at Roscoe Boulevard has one of the highest decade-long crash totals in the city.
The reasons are structural. Sepulveda Boulevard runs parallel to the I-405 and absorbs diverted freeway traffic whenever the 405 slows, which means drivers arrive at surface-street intersections carrying freeway speeds and freeway impatience. Van Nuys Boulevard functions as the community’s commercial spine, lined with dense retail, restaurants, and heavily used Metro bus stops, generating constant conflict between turning vehicles, double-parked delivery trucks, and pedestrians crossing mid-block. Sherman Way and Victory Boulevard carry high east-west volumes through the same grid, and where these wide arterials meet, the result is the T-bone and left-turn collisions that fill local emergency rooms.
Freeway risk compounds the problem. The 405 and 101 converge near the southern edge of Van Nuys at one of the most collision-prone interchanges in the country, where short merge distances and stop-and-go conditions produce daily rear-end and sideswipe crashes. Van Nuys Airport and the industrial corridors along Saticoy and Raymer add commercial truck traffic to the mix.
Cases arising from these collisions are filed at the Van Nuys Courthouse East on Sylmar Avenue, in the heart of the Van Nuys Civic Center. An attorney who knows these intersections, the traffic patterns that cause crashes there, and how the local court handles injury claims brings real advantages to your case. If you were injured anywhere in Van Nuys, Noravian Law Firm has the local knowledge to build the strongest possible claim.
