Car Accidents in Burbank, California

Trusted Legal Help for Injured Victims and Families

Burbank, California is a vibrant city in Los Angeles County with a population of approximately 107,000 residents. Known worldwide as the “Media Capital of the World,” Burbank is home to major studios including Warner Bros., Disney and Nickelodeon, along with Bob Hope Airport (aka Hollywood Burbank Airport). With constant commuter traffic, studio employees, delivery vehicles, rideshare drivers and tourists, car accidents in Burbank are a daily reality.

When a serious motor vehicle accident occurs, victims often face physical injuries, emotional trauma, mounting medical bills, and uncertainty about what to do next. That is where an experienced, trusted personal injury and wrongful death accident law firm can make a life-changing difference.

You may contact us now for an absolutely FREE consultation and case evaluation. There are time deadlines and procedures to follow post injury accident so please do not delay and risk losing your case.

Why Car Accidents Are Common in Burbank

Burbank’s traffic congestion and accident risk are heavily influenced by its roadways, employment centers and proximity to major freeways.

Major Freeways Serving Burbank

  • Interstate 5 (Golden State Freeway)
  • California State Route 134 (Ventura Freeway)
  • California State Route 170 (Hollywood Freeway)

High-Traffic Streets and Boulevards

  • Olive Avenue
  • Victory Boulevard
  • Hollywood Way
  • Buena Vista Street
  • Magnolia Boulevard
  • Glenoaks Boulevard

According to data from agencies such as the California Highway Patrol (CHP), Caltrans, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the most common contributing factors to serious car accidents include:

  • Distracted driving (cell phone and GPS use)
  • Speeding and aggressive driving
  • Failure to yield at intersections
  • Impaired driving (alcohol or drugs)
  • Unsafe lane changes and rear-end collisions

Intersections near studio lots, freeway on-ramps, and commercial corridors are especially prone to crashes during peak commuting hours.

Common Injuries From Burbank Car Accidents

Even “minor” collisions can cause serious injuries that worsen over time. We regularly help clients injured in accidents, including involving:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions
  • Neck and back injuries, including herniated discs
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Broken bones and orthopedic injuries
  • Soft tissue injuries and chronic pain, including CRPS
  • Internal injuries and organ damage
  • Fatal injuries resulting in wrongful death claims

Many accident victims do not realize the full extent of their injuries until days or weeks later. Insurance companies often pressure people to settle early—before the true medical impact is known. Do not settle until you know all injuries and damages.
