The roads
Where do accidents happen in Encino?
Encino’s serious crashes happen where the 101 meets Balboa Boulevard, White Oak Avenue and Hayvenhurst Avenue, where the ramps deliver freeway traffic straight onto Ventura Boulevard, and along Ventura itself between Balboa and Hayvenhurst, where cars turn across the boulevard into the shops and the Encino Commons. Balboa Boulevard north of the freeway, past the Sepulveda Basin, is straight, wide and fast, and the intersections at Burbank Boulevard and Victory are where the high-speed collisions are.
The Sepulveda Basin brings cyclists and runners onto Balboa and Burbank Boulevard in numbers, and that is where they are hit. Pedestrians are struck crossing Ventura Boulevard at night between the restaurants. The office buildings along Ventura are the source of the slip and fall claims.
Aryan Aliakbarzadeh, Esq. handles crashes on these roads from his office in Northridge.
Encino
Encino hospitals, and where a case is heard
Where you will be taken
Encino Hospital Medical Center on Ventura Boulevard is the neighbourhood’s own emergency department. Serious trauma from Encino goes to Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center, a few minutes west, or to Northridge Hospital Medical Center; Sherman Oaks Hospital is close to the east. Follow-up care along Ventura Boulevard is extensive.
Which court hears the case
Personal injury lawsuits in Los Angeles County are filed in the court district where the incident happened (Local Rule 2.3), so a Valley case is filed and heard in the Valley, not downtown. The Valley’s courthouses are in San Fernando, Chatsworth and Santa Clarita, in the North Valley District, and the two in Van Nuys, East and West, in the Northwest District; the court’s filing court locator gives the district for a zip code. Most claims never reach a courthouse; they settle with the insurer first.
About Encino
Encino is the south Valley’s quiet money: the hillside streets above Ventura Boulevard, the Encino Commons, the Sepulveda Basin’s golf courses and Lake Balboa on its northern edge, and a boulevard of medical offices. Its injury cases tend to involve the freeway and the basin, commuters coming off the 101, and cyclists and runners on Balboa, rather than the neighbourhood’s own streets.
From the Northridge office
The office is about seven miles from Encino: north on Balboa Boulevard through the Sepulveda Basin to Nordhoff Street, west to Reseda Boulevard, and north to 8535 Reseda, just south of Parthenia. About twenty minutes outside the rush. Consultations are by phone or in person, open 24 hours.

Questions
Questions from Encino
I was hit cycling in the Sepulveda Basin. Who is responsible?
The driver, if a driver was involved; if a road defect or a poorly maintained path caused the crash, the claim may be against the city or the Army Corps of Engineers, which manages the basin, and claims against public agencies have short deadlines. Call early either way.
Which police division covers Encino?
The LAPD West Valley Division. Collisions on the 101 and its ramps are the California Highway Patrol.
I was hit at the 101 and Balboa, White Oak or Hayvenhurst. Is that the CHP or the LAPD?
The freeway and its ramps are the California Highway Patrol’s; Ventura Boulevard and the streets around it are the LAPD West Valley Division’s, on Vanowen Street in Reseda. Where the crash happened on the ramp decides which report exists, and each agency releases its own to the people involved. Accident Lawyer of California, P.C. requests it as part of the case.
I fell in a shop or a parking lot on Ventura Boulevard in Encino. Who is responsible?
The business or the owner of the lot, for a hazard they created, knew about or should have found and fixed. Their cameras and incident report are the evidence and they are overwritten or lost within days, so the request to preserve them goes out first. Ask for the incident report at the time and write down who you spoke to.
Do I have to come to Northridge from Encino?
No. Your care is already on Ventura Boulevard, at Encino Hospital Medical Center or the follow-up offices along it, and that is where it stays. The office is about seven miles north, up Balboa through the Sepulveda Basin, about twenty minutes outside the rush, for any time you want to meet in person.
