After the Crash
Who Takes the Crash Report in Highland Park
LAPD’s Northeast Division writes the report for a crash on a Highland Park street. It is the same division that covers Eagle Rock, with its station on San Fernando Road.
A crash on the Arroyo Seco Parkway, the 110, is a CHP report instead, because the California Highway Patrol covers the freeways. If a Metro train or bus was part of the crash, Metro is a public agency with its own claim process.
Before you leave the scene, write down the report number and the officer’s name. Those two things make it much easier to get your copy later.
Crash Spots
Highland Park Streets With the Most Crash Risk
Figueroa Street is the main road through Highland Park. With buses stopping, trucks double parking and people crossing in the middle of the block, drivers have to stop fast, and rear end crashes follow.
York Boulevard has tight street parking and a lot of foot traffic. Car doors swing open into traffic and cars pull out of spots without looking, which puts drivers, cyclists and walkers at risk.
The Metro A Line crosses streets at ground level along Marmion Way, so drivers there have to watch for crossing gates and trains.
The Arroyo Seco Parkway is one of the oldest freeways in the country, with short on ramps and tight curves. Merging means a fast start from almost a full stop, and a crash there can cause bad injuries.

Your Claim
What Your Highland Park Claim Can Include
A driver hit you while you were walking or riding a bike? That is a car accident claim too, and it often goes through the driver’s auto insurance. Your own auto policy may help as well, even though you were not in a car.
A claim can pay for medical bills, therapy, missed work, and the pain and stress the injury brings. If you were partly to blame, California cuts your recovery by your share, and you recover the rest.
Most injury lawsuits have to be filed within two years. A claim against Metro, the city or another public agency is due much sooner, within six months, so do not wait on those.
