The roads
Where do accidents happen in Sherman Oaks?
Sherman Oaks sits on the interchange of the 101 and the 405, one of the busiest in the country, and the ramps that feed it are where its freeway-speed collisions happen: Sepulveda Boulevard, Van Nuys Boulevard and Woodman Avenue at the 101, Ventura Boulevard under the 405. Ventura Boulevard itself, from the Galleria east to Woodman, is a slow, crowded road of left turns into restaurants and parking, and the rear-end and turning crashes are constant. Sepulveda between Ventura and Burbank Boulevard carries the traffic that has just left the 405.
Pedestrians are hit crossing Ventura Boulevard between the shops, especially at night, and on Van Nuys Boulevard at Ventura. Riverside Drive and Moorpark Street, the residential through-routes, are where cyclists are sideswiped.
Aryan Aliakbarzadeh, Esq. handles crashes on these roads from his office in Northridge. Local detail to be confirmed by the attorney before publication.
Sherman Oaks
What a person from Sherman Oaks needs to know
Where you will be taken
Sherman Oaks Hospital on Van Nuys Boulevard is the local emergency department and the home of the Grossman Burn Center. Serious trauma from Sherman Oaks is taken to Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center or, for the worst injuries, to Northridge Hospital or over the hill to Cedars-Sinai. Valley Presbyterian in Van Nuys is the other close option.
Which court hears the case
Personal injury lawsuits in Los Angeles County are filed with the court’s personal injury departments at the Spring Street Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles. When a Valley case goes to trial it is usually assigned to the Van Nuys Courthouse on Sylmar Avenue, the civil courthouse for the San Fernando Valley. Most claims never reach either building; they settle with the insurer first.
About Sherman Oaks
Sherman Oaks is the Valley’s south-side neighbourhood of Ventura Boulevard: restaurants, the Galleria, hillside streets that climb toward Mulholland, and a great deal of traffic passing through on its way somewhere else. Its residents are more likely to be hit by someone commuting across the interchange than by a neighbour, and the drivers involved are more often insured by out-of-area carriers, which changes how the claim is handled.
From the Northridge office
The office is about ten miles from Sherman Oaks: north on the 405 to Roscoe Boulevard and west to Reseda, or up Sepulveda and across, to 8535 Reseda Boulevard just south of Parthenia Street. Twenty to twenty-five minutes outside the rush. Most Sherman Oaks cases are handled by phone, text and email; the office is there if you would rather meet.

Questions
Questions from Sherman Oaks
The crash was at the 101/405 interchange. Who has the report?
The California Highway Patrol handles collisions on the freeways and their ramps; surface-street crashes in Sherman Oaks are the LAPD Van Nuys Division. The report number on your exchange slip says which.
Does it matter that the other driver was from out of the area?
It changes the insurer, not the claim. The claim is made against whichever insurer covers the driver, wherever that company is; Aryan Aliakbarzadeh, Esq. deals with it from Northridge.
Is Northridge too far from Sherman Oaks for this to be practical?
No. The case runs by phone, text and email, and the office on Reseda Boulevard is about twenty minutes up the 405 when a meeting is needed. Aryan Aliakbarzadeh, Esq. takes cases from across the Valley from that one office.
I was hurt on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks. Which LAPD division has the report?
The LAPD Van Nuys Division, on Sylmar Avenue, covers Sherman Oaks’s surface streets; the 101, the 405 and their ramps are the California Highway Patrol’s. The LAPD releases the report to the people involved about six weeks after the collision.
A Metro bus was involved in my crash in Sherman Oaks. Is the claim different?
Yes. Metro is a public agency, so a claim must be presented to it within six months under Government Code §911.2 before any lawsuit, and the bus’s cameras are requested at once. The Sepulveda and Van Nuys corridors carry Metro lines through Sherman Oaks, so the question comes up.
