Pasadena is home to over 138,000 residents, the Rose Bowl, Caltech, and some of the busiest corridors in the San Gabriel Valley.

Car Accidents in Pasadena
Pasadena drivers face serious risks along the I-210 Foothill Freeway, SR-134 Ventura Freeway, and at high-traffic intersections including Colorado Blvd & Lake Ave, Fair Oaks Ave & Orange Grove Blvd, and freeway on/off ramps near Old Town. Rear-end collisions, sideswipe crashes, and intersection T-bone accidents are among the most common cases we handle in Pasadena.
California is a pure comparative negligence state (Civil Code § 1714), which means you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault. Our car accident lawyers investigate every crash to establish liability and maximize your settlement.
Motorcycle Accidents
Pasadena’s scenic routes — including the Angeles Crest Highway (SR-2), Colorado Boulevard, and roads leading to the Rose Bowl — attract motorcyclists year-round. Unfortunately, distracted drivers, left-turn collisions, and lane-change accidents cause serious motorcycle injuries. California allows lane splitting (CVC § 21658.1), and our attorneys understand how to protect riders’ rights when motorists fail to share the road. Learn more about our motorcycle accident representation.
Truck Accidents
The I-210 and SR-134 carry heavy commercial truck traffic through Pasadena. Jackknife accidents, wide-turn collisions, and brake-failure crashes involving tractor-trailers can cause catastrophic injuries. Truck accident claims involve complex federal regulations (FMCSA hours-of-service, maintenance logs) and multiple liable parties. Our truck accident attorneys have the experience to handle these high-value cases.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners in Pasadena have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. We handle slip and fall cases at shopping centers like Paseo Colorado, One Colorado, and Hastings Ranch Plaza, as well as at restaurants, hotels, parking structures, and apartment complexes throughout the city. Common hazards include wet floors, uneven sidewalks, poor lighting, and broken handrails. See our premises liability practice.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating. Under California Code of Civil Procedure § 377.60, surviving spouses, children, and domestic partners can bring a wrongful death claim. Our wrongful death attorneys pursue full compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, and loss of companionship.
Dog Bites
California imposes strict liability on dog owners (Civil Code § 3342) — meaning the owner is liable even if the dog has never bitten anyone before. Pasadena’s parks, including the Rose Bowl Loop trail and Eaton Canyon, are popular spots where dog bite incidents occur. Our dog bite lawyers help victims recover compensation for medical bills, scarring, and emotional distress.
Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents
Pasadena’s walkable downtown, Old Town district, and the Rose Bowl area see high pedestrian and cyclist traffic. Crosswalk accidents, right-turn-on-red collisions, and dooring incidents are common. Pedestrian and bicycle accident victims often suffer severe injuries and deserve aggressive legal representation.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
Depending on your case, you may recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses — emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, future treatment
- Lost wages — time missed from work and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering — physical pain, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage — vehicle repair or replacement
- Wrongful death damages — funeral costs, loss of financial support, loss of companionship
Important California Deadlines
California’s statute of limitations for personal injury is 2 years from the date of injury (CCP § 335.1). Claims against government entities — such as the City of Pasadena or Caltrans — require filing a government tort claim within 6 months (Government Code § 911.2). Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your claim, so contact an attorney as soon as possible after your accident.
