Tarzana Personal Injury Lawyer
An injury in Tarzana comes with the same pressure it does anywhere: bills that don’t slow down, and a paycheck that stops the moment you can’t work. Insurance adjusters count on that pressure, which is why they tend to open with a low number before your injury is fully understood, or drag the process out until you’re tempted to take whatever closes the file.
We handle the claims process from start to finish, the paperwork, the deadlines, every conversation with the adjuster, so you can put your energy toward getting better. Our firm has recovered millions of dollars for injured clients throughout the San Fernando Valley, and we don’t push a case toward a quick close just because that’s easier for the insurance company.
There is no fee unless we win your case. Call (818) 305-6041 for a free case review.

Where Accidents Happen in Tarzana
Tarzana’s mix of a busy commercial boulevard, a freeway junction, and a popular trailhead creates its own particular pattern of risk.
Ventura Boulevard: Tarzana’s main commercial corridor carries a steady mix of local traffic, turning vehicles, and pedestrians moving between shops and restaurants, which raises the risk of intersection collisions and pedestrian accidents.
US 101 and Reseda Boulevard Junction: Reseda Boulevard begins right at the 101 in Tarzana, and the merging traffic at this junction is a frequent source of rear-end collisions and lane-change crashes during commute hours.
Tarzana Safari Walk: This lively stretch of Ventura Boulevard draws steady foot traffic to its cafes and small businesses, and the mix of pedestrians, parked cars, and through traffic increases the risk of both collisions and slip and fall injuries.
Marvin Braude Mulholland Gateway Park: Located at the south end of Reseda Boulevard, this popular trailhead draws cyclists and hikers, and the road leading up to it sees its share of bicycle accidents involving vehicles.
Reseda Boulevard: Running the length of Tarzana, this arterial carries steady local and commuter traffic and is a common site for intersection crashes.
Personal Injury and Accident Cases Types in Tarzana
Novik Law Group focuses exclusively on standing up for injury victims against negligent drivers, corporate employers, and insurance companies. We handle cases across seven core practice areas:
Car Accidents: Including pedestrian and bicycle collisions along corridors like Ventura Boulevard and near Reseda Boulevard, where insurers move quickly to lock in a low initial number before the full scope of an injury is clear.
Truck Accidents: Commercial vehicles moving along Ventura Boulevard and through the 101 corridor create their own collision risk, and a crash involving one usually means a claim against both the driver and the company that owns the vehicle.
Motorcycle Collisions: Riders navigating Tarzana’s busy commercial streets face a higher risk of serious injury, yet adjusters often assume the rider was at fault before any evidence has actually been reviewed.
Rideshare Accidents: Determining fault and coverage in an Uber or Lyft accident depends heavily on what the driver was doing at the time, waiting for a ride request, en route to pick someone up, or already carrying a passenger, since each phase triggers different insurance coverage.
Slip and Fall Injuries: Including incidents at busy retail and dining destinations along Ventura Boulevard, where hazardous walkways, spills, or poorly maintained parking areas can lead to serious falls.
Workplace & Industrial Injuries: Job site injuries in Tarzana often involve a party beyond the employer once the full circumstances are investigated.
Wrongful Death Claims: Losing a family member to someone else’s negligence brings grief and a sudden financial gap at the same time, and a wrongful death claim exists to hold the responsible party accountable for both.

What to Do After an Accident in Tarzana
Taking quick, deliberate actions following a crash or fall protects your personal health and prevents insurance adjusters from exploiting gaps in your legal claim. Follow this step-by-step checklist:
- Get Out of Harm’s Way: If it’s safe to do so, get away from traffic or whatever caused the accident before anything else.
- Request a Police Response: The resulting report becomes an official record that holds up better than a verbal account once an insurer starts questioning what happened.
- Get Checked Out: Head to Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center or another nearby emergency room even if you feel unhurt. Whiplash, soft tissue injuries, and concussions often don’t show symptoms until days later.
- Capture the Scene: Use your phone to photograph where vehicles ended up, any visible damage, and the road or floor conditions, anything that could be useful evidence later.
- Track Down Witnesses: Get names and numbers from anyone who saw what happened before they leave. People are surprisingly hard to find again once they walk away.
- Stick to Facts, Not Opinions: Limit what you say to the other driver or property owner to what actually occurred. Save any judgment about who was at fault for your attorney.
- Don’t Go on the Record Yet: Skip giving an insurance company any statement, recorded or otherwise, before talking to a lawyer. Adjusters are trained to turn an offhand comment into a reason to devalue your claim.

How California Injury Law Governs Your Tarzana Claim
California law includes several statutory rules that directly shape what your case is worth and how long you have to act.
Pure comparative negligence. California follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning partial fault on your part doesn’t bar you from compensation. Whatever percentage of blame you carry simply gets deducted from your final recovery. Insurance companies know this and often try to pin an inflated share of fault on the injured party to shrink the payout.
Statute of limitations. You generally have two years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in California. That timeline drops sharply, to as little as six months, when a government entity like Caltrans is involved, such as an accident tied to a hazard on the 101. Miss either deadline and the claim is barred, regardless of how strong the underlying case is.
Economic and non-economic damages. Compensation in a California injury case can include hard costs, like medical bills and lost wages, as well as harder-to-quantify losses, like pain and suffering or the toll an injury takes on daily life. The non-economic side is usually where insurers dig in the most, since it can’t be proven with a stack of receipts.
Why Tarzana Injury Victims Work With Our Firm
Novik Law Group builds every case with the same level of preparation, whether it resolves in a negotiated settlement or in front of a jury. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
Trial-Ready From Day One: We build each file as if it’s headed to court, which tends to make insurance companies negotiate more seriously than they would with a firm known for settling quickly.
Help Getting Treatment Started: Waiting for a settlement to pay for care isn’t necessary. We have relationships with providers who treat clients on a lien so treatment can begin right away.
No Fee Unless We Win: You won’t see a retainer or an hourly bill from us. We get paid out of your recovery, which means we’re only successful when you are.

Tarzana Personal Injury Attorney FAQs
The answers below address questions specific to accident and injury cases in Tarzana. For broader personal injury and car accident topics, see the FAQ section on our homepage.
Is it worth it to hire a Tarzana personal injury attorney?
Insurance adjusters are trained to resolve claims quickly and for as little as possible, often before you’ve had a chance to understand the full scope of your injury. An attorney levels that dynamic by independently verifying what happened in Tarzana and pushing for a number that reflects your actual medical costs and lost income, not a lowball opening offer.
Do I have a case if I was hurt at a business on Ventura Boulevard or the Tarzana Safari Walk?
It depends on what caused the fall and whether the property owner or a maintenance contractor already knew about the hazard. Businesses along this stretch are legally required to keep walkways, entrances, and parking areas in reasonably safe condition, and a known spill, uneven surface, or lighting problem that went unaddressed can support a premises liability claim.
What if I was hurt biking or walking near Marvin Braude Mulholland Gateway Park?
Cyclists and pedestrians face a higher risk of serious injury in a collision with a vehicle, yet insurance adjusters routinely assume the cyclist or pedestrian was at fault before reviewing any actual evidence. If your accident happened on or near a Tarzana road leading to a popular trailhead, documenting the scene and any nearby traffic camera footage quickly can matter a great deal.
What if my accident happened near the Reseda Boulevard and 101 junction?
The 101 is maintained by Caltrans, a government entity, which changes the timeline for your claim. Instead of the standard two years, a claim involving a Caltrans-maintained freeway generally must be filed within six months, so evidence like CHP reports and freeway camera footage near Tarzana needs to be locked down quickly.
I've been referred to a pain clinic since my accident. Does that affect my claim?
Ongoing pain management is common after a car accident or fall, and the records from that care become part of the evidence supporting your Tarzana claim. Keeping track of every appointment, referral, and treatment plan helps your attorney show the full extent of what the injury has cost you, not just the initial emergency room visit.
What happens if I cannot afford up-front medical or legal care?
You don’t need money in hand to hire our firm. We advance the costs of investigating and building your case, and our fee only comes out of what we ultimately recover for you. If treatment is needed before your case resolves, we can also help connect you with providers who will treat on a lien.
If you were injured in a car crash, fall, motorcycle accident, or any other situation involving someone else’s negligence in Tarzana, the sooner you get advice, the better your case tends to do. Evidence disappears, witnesses become harder to reach, and insurance companies start positioning the file the moment they hear about it. Call (818) 305-6041 or send a message through our website. The case review is free, and there is no fee unless we recover for you.
