After the Crash
Who Takes the Crash Report in Eagle Rock
The spot where the cars stopped decides which police agency writes your report. For a crash on a neighborhood street, the LAPD Northeast Division handles it from its station at 3353 San Fernando Road.
The 134 and the 2 are freeways, so a crash there gets a California Highway Patrol report instead.
Glendale starts on the west side of Eagle Rock and Pasadena starts on the east side, and each city has its own police. Unsure which side of the line the crash was on? Write down the closest cross street, and we can sort out the rest.
Get the report number from the officer at the scene if you can. A report can take days or weeks to be ready, and we can request your copy for you.
Crash Spots
Eagle Rock Streets Where Drivers Get Hurt
Colorado Boulevard is the busy center of Eagle Rock, with shops, restaurants, bus stops and cars pulling in and out of parking spots. That mix leads to rear end crashes and to cars hit while turning into a lot.
Eagle Rock Boulevard, home to our office, is busy with traffic through the middle of the neighborhood. Left turns across it are a common cause of side impact crashes, where one car hits another in the door.
The 134 and the 2 meet at the west edge of Eagle Rock. Merging traffic there brings sideswipes and chain reaction crashes, and those reports come from the CHP.
Smaller streets such as Yosemite Drive see crashes near schools and parks, often at lower speeds. A slow crash can hurt your neck or back too, so see a doctor either way.

Your Claim
What an Eagle Rock Car Accident Claim Can Cover
A claim should cover the whole cost of the crash, not just the first bill. That can include your medical care, future treatment, lost pay, repairs to your car, and the pain the injury causes day to day.
In most cases, California gives you two years from the crash to file an injury lawsuit. A crash with a city bus, a police car or another government vehicle is different. The first step there is a claim with that agency, due within six months.
You can recover money even if you were partly at fault. California lowers the amount by your share of the blame, but it does not shut you out.
We handle car accident cases across Los Angeles, and the same team works on Eagle Rock claims from right here in the neighborhood.
