Van Nuys, San Fernando Valley
Van Nuys Personal Injury Lawyer
Personal injury cases throughout Van Nuys and the central San Fernando Valley. Same-day consultations, English / Spanish / Armenian, no fee unless we win.
Van Nuys is the geographic and commercial heart of the San Fernando Valley, and it is one of the busiest neighborhoods in Los Angeles for serious accidents. Between the 405, the 101, the 170, and the surface streets that feed them, Van Nuys produces a steady volume of car crashes, truck collisions, motorcycle accidents, and pedestrian injuries every week. Yarijanian & Associates represents injured clients throughout Van Nuys and the surrounding Valley communities, and we can meet with you the same day you call.
Crash Patterns
Van Nuys Streets Where Accidents Happen Most Often
Anyone who lives or works in Van Nuys knows the corridors that produce the most crashes. Victory Boulevard between Van Nuys Boulevard and Sepulveda is one of the most accident-prone stretches in the Valley, with rear-end collisions and intersection crashes happening daily. Van Nuys Boulevard itself runs the length of the neighborhood and sees high volumes of pedestrian accidents, left-turn collisions, and red-light runners. Sherman Way carries heavy commuter traffic east and west, and its intersection with Van Nuys Boulevard is one of the highest-volume crash sites in the area.
The freeway system around Van Nuys produces the most serious cases we see. The 405 and 101 interchange is a national-class congestion point, and the merging lanes there are responsible for high-speed sideswipes, multi-car pileups, and rollover crashes. The 170 freeway through the central Valley feeds into the same interchange and contributes its own share of injury cases. Sepulveda Boulevard, both as a surface street and where it parallels the 405, is a separate corridor we see in case files almost every week.
If your accident happened on any of these streets, we are deeply familiar with the design, the traffic patterns, and the local first responders. That familiarity helps us investigate faster and negotiate harder.
Where Clients Are Treated
Hospitals That Treat Van Nuys Accident Victims
Most Van Nuys accident victims are taken to one of a handful of regional hospitals. The right legal team knows which hospital is likely to have your records, your imaging, and your treatment notes.
- Valley Presbyterian Hospital on Vanowen is the closest full-service hospital for most of Van Nuys and handles a large share of local trauma cases.
- Sherman Oaks Hospital treats many of the cases that come off the 101 and the 405 nearby.
- Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana is a common destination for serious head injuries, spine injuries, and surgical cases.
- Northridge Hospital Medical Center and Mission Community Hospital also come up regularly for clients from the northern parts of the Valley.
If you were treated at an urgent care or a private physician’s office instead of an emergency room, we handle records requests with those providers as well.

The Neighborhood
Local Landmarks and the Reality of Driving in Van Nuys
The neighborhood centers on the Van Nuys Civic Center corridor, which includes the courthouse, the police station, and several government offices. Court hearings for many of our clients’ cases happen here, and we are at the Van Nuys Courthouse regularly. Van Nuys Airport generates its own traffic on Sherman Way and Woodley, and the streets near Westfield Fashion Square in Sherman Oaks fill up every weekend with shoppers from across the Valley. These are the places where our clients live, work, and get hurt, and we have built our local practice around the realities of driving and walking in them.
Hablamos Español
Bilingual Representation for the Van Nuys Community
Van Nuys is one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the city, with a large Spanish-speaking community. Our staff speaks Spanish fluently, and we handle the entire case in Spanish if that is what works best for you and your family. We also work in Armenian when needed. There is no language barrier to getting a fair settlement, and there should never be a reason to use a family member to translate during a legal conversation. We do that work for you.
Why Choose Us
Why Van Nuys Residents Hire Yarijanian & Associates
Insurance companies count on injured people in the Valley feeling outnumbered. They know most accident victims have never hired a lawyer before, and they make settlement offers designed to be accepted before anyone asks what the case is actually worth. We level that playing field.
We charge nothing up front. We work on contingency, which means there is no fee unless we win your case. The free consultation costs nothing and creates no obligation. If you decide not to hire us, you walk away owing nothing. If you decide to hire us, we handle the insurance calls, the medical bills, the property damage, and the lost wage documentation, while you focus on getting better.
