In This Article
Car Accident Attorney Burbank

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.

✔ Speeding, DUI, and Distracted Driving Are Leading Causes

NHTSA reports:

✔ Emergency Department Visits From Crashes Are Common in LA County

These numbers paint a clear picture: car accidents are a major public safety issue in Burbank and throughout Los Angeles County, and victims urgently need experienced legal representation.

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.

  1. Call 911 Immediately
    You need police documentation for your claim.
    Burbank Police Department non-emergency: (818) 238-3000.
  2. Seek Medical Treatment
    Even if you feel “fine,” you may have hidden injuries.
    Injuries like whiplash, concussions, or internal bleeding often appear days later.
  3. Document Everything
    Take photos of:
    – The accident scene
    – Damage to vehicles
    – Road conditions
    – Traffic signals/signs
    – Visible injuries
  4. Exchange Information
    Get the other driver’s:
    – Name
    – License number
    – Insurance
    – Vehicle details
  5. Get Witness Contact Info
    Witness statements help establish liability.
  6. Do NOT Speak to the Insurance Company Alone
    Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts.
  7. Contact a Burbank Car Accident Lawyer Immediately
    A lawyer ensures evidence is preserved, police reports are obtained, and your rights are protected.

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

Result: A substantial settlement covering medical treatment, lost wages, and pain and suffering — significantly higher than the insurance company’s original offer.

Researching for the best lawyer for my injury was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. I did the work for you, look no further. Arthur and Jacqui will work hard and advocate for you all the way to get you the maximum settlement. I was even more confident if my case would have went to trial.

I was in a car wreck when a cement truck decided to run a red light causing me to swerve into oncoming traffic. I reached out to different firms but many either didn’t respond back or didn’t want to take the case. Arthur took me on as a client without hesitation and was nothing but respectful and communicated with me every step of the way. I am appreciative of him and his team and I highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone to help you with a personal injury!

I was in a car accident about a year ago, and I’m so grateful I hired Arthur to represent me. He helped me get the maximum settlement possible, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. From the start, he was kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. He always made time to answer my questions and walked me through the process step by step.
