Our Pasadena office has served injured people and their families across the San Gabriel Valley for more than 30 years. Attorney Frank McNally built this practice on a simple idea: every client deserves honest answers, direct communication, and a lawyer who actually prepares for trial. That approach has recovered millions in settlements and verdicts for car crash victims, workers hurt on the job, families dealing with wrongful death, and people harmed by negligent property owners.

We handle personal injury cases on a contingency basis. You pay nothing unless we win your case. Our office is at 225 S Lake Ave, Suite 1100, in the heart of Pasadena — easy to reach from the 210, 134, or 110 freeways.

Practice Areas We Handle from Our Pasadena Office

Our Pasadena attorneys represent clients in a wide range of personal injury and accident cases across Southern California. Below are the primary areas where we have extensive trial and settlement experience.

Personal Injury

California personal injury law allows injured people to recover compensation when someone else’s carelessness caused their harm. Frank McNally has handled thousands of personal injury claims — from straightforward slip and fall cases to complex multi-party litigation. We investigate every angle, consult medical experts, and build cases designed to hold up at trial.

Car Accident

Pasadena sees heavy traffic on the 210, 134, and surface streets like Colorado Boulevard and Lake Avenue. Rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, and freeway pileups are common. We handle the insurance companies so you can focus on recovering from your injuries.

Truck Accident

Commercial truck crashes cause devastating injuries because of the size and weight difference between big rigs and passenger vehicles. We know how to access electronic logging data, maintenance records, and driver history to prove trucking company negligence.

Motorcycle Accident

Riders face serious bias from insurance adjusters who assume the motorcyclist was at fault. Our firm pushes back against that assumption with physical evidence, witness testimony, and accident reconstruction when needed. California’s lane-splitting law (Vehicle Code 21658.1) creates unique issues we understand well.

Bus Accident

Pasadena Transit, Metro, and school buses operate throughout the area. Government entities have shorter claim deadlines — you must file an administrative claim within six months of a bus accident involving a public agency. We make sure that deadline does not pass.

Bicycle Accident

More residents use bikes for commuting and recreation every year, especially along the Arroyo Seco bike path and Rose Bowl loop. When drivers fail to share the road, cyclists pay the price with broken bones, road rash, and head injuries. We fight for full compensation including long-term medical care.

Wrongful Death

Losing a family member because of someone’s negligence is the hardest situation any family can face. California Code of Civil Procedure section 377.60 allows surviving spouses, children, and domestic partners to recover damages. Our firm handles these cases with the care and respect your family deserves while aggressively pursuing the compensation you need.

Dog Bite

California Civil Code section 3342 makes dog owners strictly liable for bite injuries. That means you do not need to prove the owner knew the dog was dangerous — if their dog bit you, they are responsible. We handle dog bite claims against homeowners insurance policies and pursue full compensation for scarring, surgery, and emotional distress.

Pedestrian Accident

Pedestrian crashes along Colorado Boulevard, Fair Oaks Avenue, and near Old Town Pasadena cause some of the most severe injuries we see. Broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord damage are common when a vehicle strikes someone on foot. Drivers must yield to pedestrians in both marked and unmarked crosswalks under California Vehicle Code section 21950.

Premises Liability

Property owners in California must keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. When they fail — whether through broken stairs, poor lighting, wet floors, or inadequate security — injured visitors can hold them accountable. We handle claims against commercial property owners, apartment landlords, and government properties.

Catastrophic Injury

Spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, severe burns, and amputations change lives permanently. These cases require attorneys who understand the true lifetime cost of catastrophic harm — future medical care, home modifications, lost earning capacity, and ongoing pain. We work with life care planners and economists to calculate the full value of your claim.

Elder Abuse

California’s Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act (Welfare and Institutions Code sections 15600-15675) provides strong protections for seniors. When nursing homes or caregivers neglect, abuse, or financially exploit elderly residents, our firm holds them accountable. These cases can include enhanced remedies like attorney fees and punitive damages.
