We believe every person deserves quality representation regardless of their financial situation, which is why we offer free consultations to all potential clients.

California operates under a "pure comparative negligence" system, which means compensation may be available even if you were partially responsible for the accident. However, your recovery amount could be reduced by your percentage of fault. This makes proper legal representation crucial to ensure fair assessment of liability.

Pasadena residents should understand that California law provides the right to seek compensation for:

• Medical expenses (current and future)
• Lost income and reduced earning capacity
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress

Pasadena's unique combination of dense urban traffic, tourist destinations, and proximity to major highways creates various circumstances that contribute to vehicle collisions. Understanding these factors can help determine liability in your case:

The California Office of Traffic Safety reports that distracted driving remains one of the leading causes of accidents statewide. Activities such as texting, adjusting navigation systems, or even eating while driving significantly increase crash risks on Pasadena streets.

Despite strict laws against driving under the influence, alcohol and drug-impaired driving continues to cause numerous accidents in Pasadena and surrounding areas. These cases often involve more severe injuries and may include punitive damages.

Pasadena's congested roadways sometimes lead to aggressive driving behaviors, including excessive speeding, tailgating, and unsafe lane changes. These behaviors frequently result in serious collisions, particularly on routes like the 210 Freeway and surrounding arterial roads.

While less common than driver error, road design issues, inadequate signage, and maintenance problems can contribute to accidents. These situations may involve government liability, which requires specialized legal knowledge to navigate successfully.

Car accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, varying from minor to catastrophic. At Moseley Collins Law, we have experience representing clients with various injury types:

From mild concussions to severe trauma, brain injuries often have long-lasting effects. These injuries may require extensive rehabilitation and can permanently impact cognitive function, emotional regulation, and physical abilities.

Damage to the spinal cord can result in partial or complete paralysis. These catastrophic injuries typically require lifelong medical care and substantial modifications to living arrangements.

Fractures commonly occur during the impact of a collision. While some breaks heal relatively quickly, complex fractures may require surgical intervention and extended physical therapy.

Whiplash and other soft tissue injuries affect muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Though sometimes dismissed as minor, these injuries can cause chronic pain and significant limitations in daily activities.

Many accident victims experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, or depression following a collision. These psychological impacts deserve the same attention as physical injuries in your compensation claim.

Certain areas within Pasadena consistently see higher accident rates due to traffic volume, road design, or other factors:

• Fair Oaks Avenue and Colorado Boulevard
• Lake Avenue and Cordova Street
• Arroyo Parkway and Del Mar Boulevard
• Orange Grove Boulevard and Fair Oaks Avenue

• Interstate 210 (Foothill Freeway)
• State Route 134 (Ventura Freeway)
• Colorado Boulevard
• Arroyo Parkway
• Washington Boulevard

The actions you take immediately following a collision can significantly impact your ability to recover fair compensation:

Your well-being comes first. Move to safety if possible and call 911 immediately. Even if injuries seem minor, accept medical evaluation at the scene and follow up with a comprehensive medical assessment as soon as possible.

If your condition allows, collect evidence including:

• Photos of vehicle damage, road conditions, and visible injuries
• Contact information from witnesses
• The other driver's insurance and contact details
• Notes about weather conditions and any relevant factors

California law requires reporting accidents that result in injury, death, or property damage exceeding $1,000 to the DMV within 10 days. Additionally, filing a police report creates an official record of the incident.
