Auto Accident Statistics in Burbank & Los Angeles County
How Burbank and LA County Compare
The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) crash rankings, built from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), let you compare Burbank’s record for injury crashes, alcohol-involved crashes, speed-related crashes and hit-and-runs with similar-sized California cities, and Los Angeles County’s record with other counties.
Speeding, Distracted Driving & DUI Are Leading Causes of Deadly Crashes
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that in 2024:
- 11,904 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes nationwide, about one every 44 minutes
- 11,288 people died in speeding-related crashes, and speeding was a factor in 29% of all traffic deaths
- 3,208 people were killed in crashes involving distracted drivers (NHTSA)
These are the same behaviors that frequently cause serious accidents in Burbank.
Common Types of Auto Accidents in Burbank
Our firm handles all types of motor vehicle collisions, including:
- Rear-end collisions: often caused by distracted drivers, especially on congested streets like Magnolia Boulevard and Glenoaks Boulevard.
- T-bone crashes: common at intersections when drivers run red lights or fail to yield, at busy junctions such as Glenoaks and Burbank Boulevard or Magnolia Boulevard and Hollywood Way.
- High-speed freeway crashes: collisions on the I-5 and 134 often result in severe or catastrophic injuries. Sudden weaving and unsafe lane changes are a frequent cause.
- Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) collisions: we represent injured passengers, drivers and third-party motorists. Learn more about our Burbank rideshare accident cases.
- Hit-and-run accidents: unfortunately common across LA County.
- DUI accidents: alcohol- and drug-impaired driving remains a major cause of severe injury crashes, including on major roads like Victory Boulevard and Olive Avenue.
- Multi-vehicle pileups: often occur on the freeway during heavy traffic periods.
- Road-condition crashes: potholes, uneven pavement or non-functioning signals can contribute to a collision.
No matter the type of collision, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care.
What To Do After a Car Accident in Burbank
Your actions after a crash directly affect your claim and your safety.
- Call 911 and request police. Always report the crash. A police report becomes important evidence. The Burbank Police Department’s non-emergency line is (818) 238-3000.
- Get medical treatment. Even if pain seems minor, symptoms like whiplash, concussions, internal bleeding or spinal injuries can appear days later.
- Document the scene. Take photos of vehicle damage, road conditions, traffic signals and signs, visible injuries and skid marks.
- Gather driver and witness information. Get the other driver’s name, license number, insurance and vehicle details, plus witness names and phone numbers.
- Do not speak to the insurance company alone. Adjusters may try to minimize your injuries or twist your words.
- Contact a Burbank auto accident lawyer immediately. The earlier we get involved, the stronger your case becomes.

FAQs About Car Accidents in Burbank
How common are serious car crashes in and around Burbank?
Serious crashes happen every day across Los Angeles County. The OTS crash rankings, built from SWITRS data, show how Burbank and the county compare with other California cities and counties for injury, alcohol-involved and speed-related crashes.
Can a driver be held liable for not yielding?
Yes. A driver who fails to yield the right-of-way, such as at a crosswalk under Vehicle Code §21950, may be found negligent.
What compensation am I entitled to?
Medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and future care needs.
What about shared fault?
California uses comparative negligence, so shared fault reduces your award proportionally but doesn’t bar recovery.
Do I pay anything upfront?
No. DJ Law Corp works on contingency: no attorney fee unless there is a recovery. Ask about the percentage, case expenses and how costs are handled if there is no recovery; the written fee agreement explains those terms.
How long do I have to take legal action?
Many California personal injury lawsuits have a two-year filing period, but exceptions can change that deadline. If a city or other public agency may be responsible, a written claim is generally due within six months; see our article on the six-month deadline for claims against cities, buses and schools.
