The Los Angeles neighborhood of Northridge might be best known for the 6.7 magnitude earthquake that was centered there in 1994. But for the 60,000 people who call it home, Northridge represents a highly diverse community at the heart of the San Fernando Valley.
Northridge has long been a center of commerce and suburban living, home to the Northridge Fashion Center and California State University, Northridge. Unfortunately, however, the community is also the site of dozens of car accidents each year.
Northridge sits near the center of four major freeways and highways—the 405 to the east, 27 to the west, 118 to the north, and 101 in the south. Major arterial roads such as Tampa Ave and Nordhoff St link the four freeways to residences in the Valley in a grid-like formation.
Northridge’s high residential population leads to crowded roads during rush hour, and reckless drivers tend to speed down the Valley’s wide, straight streets. Because of this, Northridge is home to some of the most dangerous intersections in the state.
In 2018, two separate studies found the Northridge intersection at Devonshire St and Reseda Blvd the most dangerous in California. Time Magazine looked at 10 years of data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, while a team from Cal State Northridge looked at the Traffic Injury Mapping System. They came to the same conclusion: between 2006 and 2016, 108 traffic accidents took place at this intersection alone.
Other particularly dangerous intersections are located nearby: Nordhoff St and Balboa Blvd, and Lindley Ave and Roscoe Blvd.
Fighting for Northridge Since 2015
If you live in Northridge, the PARRIS name may be familiar to you. That’s because we’ve represented thousands of Porter Ranch, Chatsworth, and Northridge residents in the wake of the Aliso Canyon gas leak in 2015.
From October 2015 to February 2016, SoCalGas allowed thousands of tons of methane, ethane, and other gases to escape into the San Fernando Valley, sickening residents and forcing hundreds of families to relocate.
After a six-year legal battle, the PARRIS Law Firm, together with other plaintiffs’ law firms, settled with SoCalGas and their parent company, Sempra Energy, for $1.8 billion.
Whether your well-being is threatened by a multi-billion dollar energy corporation or a single negligent driver, a car accident attorney in Northridge from PARRIS Law Firm is ready to fight for the rights of families.
Proven Track Record of Results
Vehicle accidents are tragedies—one negligent driver can permanently alter the course of someone’s life. That’s why our Northridge car accident attorneys fight relentlessly on behalf of victims, regularly winning seven-, eight-, and nine-figure verdicts and settlements for accident victims.
Here are some of our clients’ stories:
- Several years ago, two brothers were heading north on Highway 14 to Mammoth when a big rig drifted out of his lane, hitting the brothers head-on. The truck driver had a history of accidents and a criminal record that included a DUI. Despite this, the trucking company allowed the driver to work for them. PARRIS attorneys fought fiercely for the brothers, eventually securing a $56.5 million verdict on their behalf.
- In another case, our client—a CHP officer—was riding his motorcycle on the 5 freeway when a distracted driver rear-ended him, ejecting him from his motorcycle. Our client’s severe injuries significantly reduced his capacity to work, forcing him to seek costly medical care for the rest of his life. Though the at-fault driver’s insurance company attempted to avoid facing the PARRIS team in trial, our attorneys ensured that our client saw justice. And they did—after a six-week trial, the jury awarded our client $49.6 million.
- Another PARRIS client was violently rear-ended by a big rig in Chatsworth, causing his car to roll over three times. The accident left our client with a traumatic brain injury and injuries to his neck and back. After a two-week trial, the PARRIS team fought for a $7.4 million jury verdict on his behalf.

If the car accident wasn’t your fault, you’re likely entitled to compensation from the at-fault driver’s insurance company. Their insurance may approach you with an initial settlement offer, and you may be tempted to accept it just to be done with the whole ordeal.
However, these initial settlement offers from insurance companies are often not enough to cover your medical bills, lost wages, and the inability to do many of the things that made life enjoyable before the accident.
It’s important to understand that insurance companies do not have your best interests in mind. If you handle your case on your own, the at-fault driver’s insurance company may take advantage of your lack of representation to reduce the cost of your claim. This benefits their profit margin but reduces the compensation you may need to restore your life.
When an insurance company places profits over people, you’ll need a legal advocate who will fight for your interests alone.
