Crash Statistics in Pasadena and Greater Los Angeles
Pasadena is part of Los Angeles County, one of the most dangerous regions in California for motorists. According to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), there were more than 92,000 injury-causing collisions in the county in 2022. Pasadena alone sees hundreds of serious car accidents each year, many occurring near intersections like Fair Oaks Avenue and Del Mar Boulevard.
Common crash locations include:
- Interstate 210 and CA-134 interchange

What Causes Most Car Accidents in Pasadena?
At Noravian Law Firm, we regularly handle cases caused by:
- Distracted driving (texting, eating, GPS use)
- Speeding or aggressive driving
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Unsafe lane changes or failure to yield
- Poor road maintenance or obstructed signage
When we investigate your case, we gather police reports, witness statements, video surveillance, and accident reconstruction evidence to determine exactly what caused the crash. Our goal is to hold all negligent parties fully accountable.
Understanding Liability in California Car Accidents
California follows a comparative negligence system. This means that even if you were partially at fault, you may still recover compensation, reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you could still recover $80,000.
Additionally, California requires all drivers to carry minimum liability insurance, but many do not have enough coverage. We explore all options for recovery, including uninsured/underinsured motorist policies.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Pasadena
Take these steps immediately after a collision:
- Call 911 and seek medical attention, even for minor symptoms
- Obtain a police report from Pasadena PD or CHP
- Take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and injuries
- Collect names and contact info of witnesses
- Do not admit fault or speak to insurers without legal counsel
- Contact Noravian Law Firm to discuss your options
Timing is critical. Video surveillance footage and witness availability can fade quickly, so early legal intervention is key. Learn more from similar practice areas like Uber accident cases and truck collisions.

FAQs About Car Accidents in Pasadena
How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in California?
You have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If the case involves a government entity, you may need to file a claim within six months. Missing these deadlines can bar you from recovering any compensation.
What if the other driver was uninsured or fled the scene?
If you were hit by an uninsured driver or were involved in a hit-and-run, you may still recover damages through your own uninsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys can help you explore all available policies and file claims accordingly.
Will I have to go to court to recover compensation?
Most car accident cases settle without going to trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair amount, we are prepared to take your case to court to fight for the compensation you deserve.
