Meet Your Attorney
Vaheh Manoukian, Esq.
Founder & Lead Personal Injury Attorney
Vaheh Manoukian is a Woodland Hills pedestrian accident attorney who has built his practice helping severely injured victims across the San Fernando Valley put their lives back together. He understands that being struck by a vehicle rarely ends at the scene. It follows you into emergency surgeries, painful physical therapy, lost paychecks, and frustrating phone calls from insurance adjusters trained to blame the pedestrian. His focus is simple: fight for the full compensation of what the accident took from you.
He founded Manoukian Law Firm because he saw too many injured pedestrians pressured into fast, inadequate settlements before they even knew the long-term extent of their trauma. From crosswalk collisions to distracted driving accidents in residential neighborhoods, he handles every complex pedestrian case personally, keeps clients informed at each step, and refuses to let auto insurers decide what your future is worth.

Pedestrian accidents can have devastating consequences, often leaving victims with severe injuries and lasting emotional trauma. Unlike drivers or passengers in vehicles, pedestrians have no physical protection, making them highly vulnerable in the event of a collision. When a negligent driver’s actions cause harm, the victim has the right to seek justice and hold the responsible party accountable. At Manoukian Law Firm, our experienced pedestrian accident lawyers represent clients in Woodland Hills, Chatsworth, Porter Ranch, Simi Valley, and throughout the greater Los Angeles area.

Whether you were injured while crossing a street, walking on a sidewalk, or navigating a parking lot at an apartment complex, we’re here to support you every step of the way.Understanding the Risks Pedestrians Face
Pedestrians face unique dangers when sharing the road with motor vehicles. Even in areas designed for pedestrian safety, accidents can occur due to negligent or reckless drivers. Some common scenarios include:- Crosswalk Accidents: Drivers failing to yield or stop for pedestrians in crosswalks are a leading cause of collisions.
- Impaired or Distracted Driving: Drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or those distracted by phones, pose a significant risk to pedestrians and bicyclists alike.
- Turning Vehicles: Drivers making left or right turns often fail to notice pedestrians, especially at busy intersections. This is a frequent cause of both standard car accidents and bus accidents.
- Speeding in Residential Areas: Many pedestrian accidents occur in neighborhoods where children, joggers, and others are walking near the roadway.
- Backing-Up Incidents: Pedestrians in parking lots or driveways are frequently struck by drivers who fail to check their surroundings or rely too heavily on backup cameras.
The Impact of Pedestrian Accidents
Whether struck by a passenger vehicle, a commercial truck, or an Uber in a rideshare accident, the physical toll on a pedestrian is often catastrophic. These injuries include:- Head and Brain Injuries: Concussions or traumatic brain injuries (TBI) that can have long-term cognitive effects.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Severe nerve damage that may result in partial or full paralysis.
- Broken Bones: Complex fractures that require extensive surgical treatment and rehabilitation.
- Internal Injuries: Organ damage or internal bleeding caused by the blunt force impact of a collision.
- Emotional Trauma: Fear, anxiety, and PTSD are common psychological effects following a violent accident.

If you’ve been injured, you may be entitled to compensation that can help ease the financial burden of your recovery. At Manoukian Law Firm, P.C., we strive to help you recover damages for:- Medical Bills: Covering immediate emergency care, ongoing treatment, surgeries, and rehabilitation.
- Future Care Needs: Financial support for permanent disabilities or chronic conditions requiring lifelong care.
- Lost Income: Compensation for time missed from work and reduced future earning capacity.
- Pain and Suffering: Addressing the immense physical pain and emotional toll of your accident.
- Loss of Enjoyment: Damages for the loss of activities and lifestyle you enjoyed before the crash.
