Los Angeles Personal Injury Lawyer: Local Accident Data and Your Claim

This article is for informational purposes only and is not to be construed as legal advice. No attorney-client relationship exists based on the review of this article and none of the information in this article is legal advice.

Traffic crashes in Los Angeles injure and kill people every year. Injury claims here can involve cars, motorcycles, trucks, and pedestrians. If you’ve been injured in an accident in Los Angeles, getting legal help early can matter.

Choose your lawyer carefully. A Los Angeles case may turn on local traffic patterns, the place where the crash happened, and Los Angeles County court procedures.

City of Los Angeles Traffic Deaths in 2024

In the City of Los Angeles, 302 people died in traffic crashes in 2024, down 12.5% from 2023, according to LAPD Traffic Division data reported by Crosstown in January 2025. In the 2010s, the city never had more than 261 traffic deaths in a single year. These figures cover crashes reported to LAPD in the city, not all of Los Angeles County.

Beyond Fatalities

Many more people are hurt in crashes than killed. Serious injuries can mean hospital stays, time away from work, and long recoveries. Behind every crash report are real people whose lives were changed by someone else’s negligence.

Los Angeles Intersections and Crash Investigation

Crashes at Los Angeles intersections can raise questions about signal timing, turning movements, pedestrian traffic, and visibility. Intersections where those questions can come up include:

• Highland Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard (Hollywood)
• Burbank Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard (Van Nuys)
• San Pedro Street and Washington Boulevard (South Central)
• Florence Avenue and Vermont Avenue (South LA)
• Oxnard Street and Van Nuys Boulevard (Van Nuys)
• La Cienega Boulevard and Venice Boulevard
• Wilshire Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard
• Sherman Way and Sepulveda Boulevard
• Manchester Avenue and Figueroa Street

Were you injured at a Los Angeles intersection? Where and how the crash happened can matter to your claim.

Freeway Crashes

Freeway crashes can happen at high speed and involve several vehicles. Claims can arise on freeways such as the 405 (San Diego Freeway), the 10 (Santa Monica Freeway), and the 110 (Harbor Freeway).

Large interchanges add weaving and merging. Examples include the East LA Interchange, where I-5, I-10, US 101, and SR 60 meet, and the Four Level Interchange connecting I-110 and US 101. Crashes there can involve trucks and several vehicles.

Common Types of Accident Claims

1. Car Accidents

Rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, and freeway accidents are common sources of car accident claims in Los Angeles.

2. Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle riders have little protection in a crash, so injuries are often severe. Lane-splitting accidents, intersection collisions, and freeway crashes require immediate legal attention.

3. Truck Accidents

Large truck accidents present complex liability issues involving multiple parties: truck drivers, trucking companies, maintenance providers, and cargo loaders.

4. Pedestrian Accidents

In 2024, 170 pedestrians died in vehicle collisions in the City of Los Angeles, down from 185 in 2023, according to the same Crosstown report. Crosswalk accidents, hit-and-run crashes, and distracted driving incidents can lead to serious injury claims.

How LA Law Group Approaches Personal Injury Cases in Los Angeles

LA Law Group represents people injured in Los Angeles car, motorcycle, truck, and pedestrian accidents. We handle each claim through settlement negotiations and, when a case calls for it, litigation.

Our work is tailored to the facts of your case.

Our Comprehensive Approach

Every personal injury case receives individualized attention. We devote the time, skill, and resources necessary to each and every individual client.

Critical Legal Deadlines: DO NOT DELAY

Time is your enemy after a personal injury accident. California law imposes strict deadlines that can permanently bar your right to compensation:

• Two years to file a personal injury lawsuit from the date of injury
• Six months to file a claim if a government agency is involved
• Immediate action required for hit-and-run cases to preserve evidence

DO NOT assume you have plenty of time. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget details, and insurance companies may begin building defenses against your claim soon after your accident.

What Your Los Angeles Personal Injury Case Is Worth

The value of your case depends on factors such as:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Future medical needs
• Property damage

Do not assume your case is too small to discuss with a lawyer.

Insurance Companies Will Work Against Your Claim

Insurance adjusters work to keep payouts low from day one. They may use LA’s traffic congestion, your driving record, and even the intersection where your accident occurred to reduce their liability.

You need an attorney who fights back with equal intensity. While insurance companies deploy teams of adjusters, investigators, and attorneys, you deserve legal representation committed to your claim.
