Walking is part of everyday life in North Hollywood, whether crossing Lankershim Boulevard, heading to the NoHo Arts District, or walking home from the Metro Station. Unfortunately, pedestrian accidents are far too common — often caused by distracted or speeding drivers who fail to yield.
When a driver’s carelessness leads to devastating injuries, victims deserve justice. At Djougourian Law Corporation, we fight for pedestrians who have been struck by cars, trucks, rideshare vehicles, or buses. We pursue full compensation for your medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering — so you can focus on healing.
Attorney Arthur Djougourian, founder of DJ Law Corp, is a Pepperdine Law graduate and accomplished trial attorney with a proven record of results. His career began at the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office Consumer Protection Unit, where he held corporations accountable for public harm. Just months after graduation, Arthur earned a six-figure jury verdict for an injured client, establishing himself as a powerful advocate for victims’ rights.
As a member of the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (CAALA) and the CAALA Plaintiff Trial Academy, Arthur combines compassion and courtroom skill to help injured pedestrians throughout Los Angeles County.
Pedestrian Safety in Los Angeles County — Public Data
Pedestrian crashes are one of the most serious public-safety issues in California.
- The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) reports that Los Angeles County leads the state in pedestrian fatalities and injuries — with more than 7,500 pedestrian crashes in 2021 alone. (ots.ca.gov)
- The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) identifies pedestrians as one of the most vulnerable road user groups, with a disproportionately high risk of severe or fatal injuries. (cdph.ca.gov)
- According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, pedestrian injury rates are highest in dense, urban neighborhoods — including North Hollywood, Van Nuys, and Hollywood. (publichealth.lacounty.gov)
- The California Highway Patrol (SWITRS) data shows that failure to yield and speeding are the top contributing factors in pedestrian-involved collisions. (iswitrs.chp.ca.gov)
These statistics highlight a troubling reality — walking in Los Angeles County should be safe, but too often, it’s dangerous.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
- Distracted driving (texting, using GPS)
- Failing to yield at crosswalks
- Speeding in residential or urban areas
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Unsafe right or left turns
- Poor visibility or lack of street lighting
- Unmarked crosswalks or unsafe intersections
In North Hollywood, areas such as Magnolia Boulevard, Vineland Avenue, and Tujunga Avenue are frequent sites of pedestrian collisions due to high traffic and foot activity.
Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Pedestrians are completely unprotected in collisions. Even at low speeds, injuries can be catastrophic:
- Head and brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord and back injuries
- Fractures and broken bones
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Lacerations and disfigurement
- Psychological trauma or PTSD
According to CDPH, pedestrian injuries are among the leading causes of hospitalizations for Californians aged 15 to 44, often requiring extensive rehabilitation.

FAQ – Pedestrian Accidents in North Hollywood
Do pedestrians always have the right of way?
Under Vehicle Code §21950, drivers must yield to pedestrians in both marked and unmarked crosswalks — but pedestrians also have a duty to use reasonable care.
What if the driver fled the scene?
We can help pursue compensation through your uninsured motorist coverage or identify the driver through law enforcement investigations.
Can I recover damages if I was partially at fault?
Yes. California follows pure comparative negligence, meaning you can still recover compensation reduced by your percentage of fault.
How long do I have to file a claim?
You generally have two years from the date of injury under California Code of Civil Procedure §335.1.
What if I was hit while using a crosswalk at night?
Drivers are still required to exercise due care. Poor lighting or driver inattention does not excuse liability.
