Why Glendale car accidents cases are different
Glendale sits at the intersection of the 5, 2, and 134 freeways — three of the busiest commuter corridors in Southern California. Brand Boulevard, Central Avenue, and the Americana foot traffic generate a steady volume of pedestrian, rideshare, and rear-end claims.
Local context we account for
- Freeway crashes on the 134 and 2 interchange and the 5 near Los Feliz Boulevard
- Pedestrian strikes on Brand Boulevard, Central Avenue, and around the Galleria
- Rideshare incidents at the Glendale Galleria and Americana at Brand pickup zones
- Cases filed in Los Angeles Superior Court — Glendale Courthouse (600 East Broadway)
California law that governs your claim
- Filing deadline. Two years from the date of injury under Code of Civil Procedure §335.1. Claims against a city, county, Caltrans, or other public entity require a six-month government claim under §911.2.
- Fault rule. California is a pure comparative negligence state. Even at significant fault, an injured person can still recover — the award is reduced by their share of responsibility.
- Damages. Recovery includes past and future medical care, lost income and earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering.
