Pasadena

A wreck in Pasadena is a Los Angeles County matter, and a later civil filing is generally a case in the Los Angeles Superior Court, often at the civil courthouse the official branch list names for that filing, because a Los Angeles County wreck is not a Riverside County filing. Confirm the address on the official Los Angeles Superior Court locations page.

Pasadena sits in Los Angeles County, so a wreck there is generally a Los Angeles Superior Court matter. Confirm the civil branch on the official locations page. An ordinary injury or death lawsuit after a wreck in Pasadena generally must be started within two years under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. An adjuster letter that treats the wreck as all-or-nothing is not the official California comparative-fault rule.

Obtain the official crash report from the department that handled the scene, which may be a local department or the Highway Patrol depending on the road. Living nearby, or commuting through the city, does not by itself choose the filing place if the wreck happened somewhere else.
