If you were injured in a car crash in Pasadena, you face not only physical pain and recovery but financial stress, lost income, mounting bills, and the challenge of dealing with at-fault drivers and insurance companies. At Djougourian Law Corporation, we represent auto accident victims in Pasadena and surrounding areas with the skill, compassion, and trial-readiness needed to help you rebuild.
Founded and led by trial attorney Arthur Djougourian — a Pepperdine Law graduate and former clerk in the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Consumer Protection Unit — our firm prepares every case as if it will go to a jury. Arthur secured a six-figure jury verdict within six months of law school, and today brings that same determination to help clients after serious crashes. Whether you were injured in Pasadena, Altadena, San Marino, or the nearby San Gabriel Valley, you need a lawyer who knows local roads, court systems, and insurance tactics.
Auto Accident Facts & Statistics – Pasadena / California
Public data underscores how frequently car accidents cause serious injury in our region:
- According to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), Pasadena recorded 853 victims killed or injured in 2022 in traffic collisions. (Office of Traffic Safety)
- In 2019, Pasadena had 944 victims killed or injured in reported collisions — illustrating how auto risks remain elevated. (Office of Traffic Safety)
- One report stated 2021 saw an estimated 14 fatal car accidents in Pasadena — double the year before. (Carl D. Barnes)
- According to a local traffic-analysis article, the intersections of Fair Oaks Avenue & Corson Street, Fair Oaks & Orange Grove Boulevard, and others are among the city’s most dangerous — with improper turns (25.3%) and unsafe speed (18.2%) identified as leading causes. (Pasadena Now)
These numbers show that collisions are common in Pasadena — from high-traffic commuter zones to local streets — and serious injuries can result even when fault isn’t obvious.

Our Auto Accident Services
We represent clients injured in a wide range of auto accident scenarios throughout Pasadena and nearby cities including Altadena, Sierra Madre, San Marino, and the San Gabriel Valley. Services include:
- Rear-end and side-impact collisions — Common causes include distracted driving and failure to yield.
- Intersection & turning accidents — These often involve improper turns, red-light violations, and multi-vehicle crashes.
- High-speed freeway accidents — Pasadena is situated near the 210 and 134 freeways; high-speed collisions often lead to major injuries.
- Hit-and-runs & uninsured/underinsured driver crashes — We help pursue uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage when the at-fault driver can’t be found or lacks insurance.
- Pedestrian and bicyclist collisions — Pasadena’s sidewalks, residential streets and bike routes mean pedestrians and cyclists are at risk; though this overlaps other service areas, the same approach applies.
- Catastrophic injuries — When head injuries, spinal cord trauma, or broken bones occur, our firm works with medical experts to quantify full compensation.
- Wrongful death cases — If a loved one died in a crash in Pasadena, we represent families seeking justice and recovery for funeral costs, lost support, and more.
How the Process Works
- Free Consultation
We begin with a no-cost case review — you tell your story, we evaluate the crash facts, and explain your rights and potential next steps. - Investigation
We collect police reports, scene photographs, witness statements, medical records, and any surveillance or dash-cam footage that may show fault or damage. - Medical Documentation
We coordinate with your doctors, specialists, and rehabilitation providers to document the full extent of your injuries, current treatment needs, and future care. - Claim Preparation & Negotiation
We calculate your economic losses (medical bills, lost earnings) and non-economic damages (pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life). Then we negotiate aggressively with the at-fault driver’s insurer and protect your rights to full compensation. - Litigation (If Necessary)
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we file suit in the appropriate Pasadena or Los Angeles County court and prepare your case for jury trial — giving your claim maximum leverage. - Resolution
Once your case resolves via settlement or verdict, we help you manage medical liens, insurance obligations, and ensure you keep as much of your recovery as possible.
Common Questions from Auto Accident Victims in Pasadena
How long do I have to file an auto accident claim in California?
You typically have two years from the date of the collision to file a personal-injury lawsuit in California under Code of Civil Procedure §335.1. Missing that window can bar your case.
What if I was partially at fault for the crash?
California follows a pure comparative negligence rule — you can still recover compensation even if you were partly at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
What if the at-fault driver has no insurance or minimal coverage?
We help you pursue your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and explore other sources of compensation — so you’re not left without recourse.
Do I really need a lawyer for my Pasadena crash?
Yes. Insurance companies protect profits. A knowledgeable attorney ensures your claim is fully valued (including future medical needs) and fights tactics designed to minimize your payout.
What are some dangerous roads or intersections in Pasadena?
Intersections like Fair Oaks & Corson Street and Fair Oaks & Orange Grove Boulevard rank among the highest crash-accident locations in Pasadena — improper turns and speed contribute heavily. (Pasadena Now)
