Accidents and Traffic Safety in Pasadena

Pasadena sees heavy traffic congestion along the I-210 and CA-134 corridors, and its historic downtown streets and major event venues like the Rose Bowl generate significant pedestrian and vehicle conflicts.

Pasadena’s blend of historic charm and modern urban density creates distinct traffic challenges. The famous Colorado Boulevard corridor, busy interchanges at I-210 and CA-134, and event-day traffic around the Rose Bowl all contribute to accident risks. Our firm is experienced with the Pasadena courthouse and understands the specific traffic patterns that affect this community.

What to Do After an Accident in Pasadena

If you’ve been involved in an accident in Pasadena, take these important steps to protect your health and your legal rights:

First, seek immediate medical attention, even if you feel fine — many serious injuries don’t show symptoms right away. Call 911 if anyone is hurt. Document everything: take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, your injuries, and any road conditions that may have contributed. Get contact and insurance information from all parties involved, and collect names and numbers of any witnesses.

Important: Under California law (Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1), you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. If your claim involves a government entity (such as a city bus or a dangerous road maintained by the county), you must file a government tort claim within six months under Government Code § 911.2. Don’t wait — contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve your rights.
