Car accidents in Burbank happen every day—from collisions on the 5 and 134 freeways to crashes along Glenoaks Blvd, Magnolia Blvd, Victory Blvd, and the busy streets near the Burbank Town Center. After a sudden accident, victims often face painful injuries, medical bills, lost income, and overwhelming stress. You deserve an attorney who will not only protect your rights, but fight aggressively for the compensation you need to get your life back.
Attorney Arthur Djougourian, founder of Djougourian Law Corporation, is a trial lawyer known for powerful advocacy on behalf of the injured. While attending Pepperdine Law, Arthur clerked for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office – Consumer Protection Unit, where he held corporations accountable for harming the public. Just six months out of law school, he achieved a six-figure jury verdict against a national corporation—an uncommon milestone for a young trial attorney.
Arthur is active in:
- Consumer Attorneys Association of California (CAALA)
- Super Lawyers
- Trial Lawyers University
- CAALA Plaintiff Trial Academy
A Los Angeles native, bilingual in English and Armenian, Arthur represents clients throughout Burbank, Glendale, North Hollywood, Toluca Lake, Studio City, and all surrounding communities. Every case he takes on is handled with precision, compassion, and a strategy built to win.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Burbank
Car accidents happen for many reasons, but the vast majority are caused by negligence. The most common causes we see include:
- Distracted Driving
Texting, GPS use, eating, talking, or adjusting the radio all increase crash risk. NHTSA identifies distracted driving as one of the top contributing factors nationwide. - Speeding
Speeding reduces reaction time and worsens impact injuries. Speed is a factor in about 29% of all deadly crashes nationally (NHTSA). - Drunk & Drug-Impaired Driving
California has strict DUI laws, but impaired drivers still cause severe crashes throughout Burbank, especially on major roads like Victory Blvd and Olive Ave. - Unsafe Lane Changes
Common on highways like the 5 and 134, sudden weaving or cutting across lanes often leads to high-speed collisions. - Following Too Closely
Rear-end collisions remain one of the most frequent crash types in Los Angeles County. - Running Red Lights or Stop Signs
Intersections such as Glenoaks & Burbank or Magnolia & Hollywood Way are frequent crash points. - Poor Road Conditions
Los Angeles County maintains thousands of miles of roads, and potholes, uneven pavement, or non-functioning signals can contribute to a collision.
What to Do Immediately After a Car Accident in Burbank
Your actions after the crash can directly impact your health and your legal claim.

Sample Case Result (Anonymous)
A client was rear-ended at a stoplight near Magnolia Blvd and suffered a serious neck injury requiring multiple injections and rehabilitation. The insurance company initially denied liability, claiming our client “stopped too suddenly.”
Our firm obtained:
- Surveillance footage from a nearby business
- Expert analysis disproving the insurance company’s theory
- Medical evidence linking the crash to long-term injury
Result: A substantial settlement covering medical treatment, lost wages, and pain and suffering — significantly higher than the insurance company’s original offer.
