Pacific Grove is a small coastal city, but its streets still see their share of collisions. Public records show 34 injury collisions in the most recent final reporting year, with 38 people hurt and, notably, zero traffic deaths recorded. Corridors like Forest Avenue, Ocean View Boulevard, Sunset Drive, and Lighthouse Avenue carry a good share of local traffic, and reports tend to cluster on Thursday afternoons between 1 and 3 p.m. If you were hurt in a crash near these roads, or anywhere else in town, it helps to understand your options before insurance calls start piling up.
