Personal injury in Burbank

An entertainment industry hub with an airport, a major freeway interchange, and its own city government.

Burbank is its own incorporated city — separate from Los Angeles — home to Warner Bros., Disney, and Nickelodeon, and to Hollywood Burbank Airport. That combination produces a distinct set of injury patterns: predictable rush-hour surges tied to studio call times, airport rideshare congestion at pickup and dropoff curbs, and one of the busiest freeway junctions in the San Fernando Valley where the I-5 and SR-134 meet.

Downtown Burbank's shopping and dining corridor along San Fernando Boulevard draws heavy foot traffic, creating its own category of premises liability claims. And because Burbank is a separate municipality from Los Angeles, government entity claims here work differently — a government tort claim goes against the City of Burbank, not LADOT or the City of Los Angeles, and the airport itself is operated by a separate joint powers authority.

Law Dog handles every type of personal injury case arising in Burbank. We work on pure contingency — no fee unless we win, no upfront cost, no risk to you. We come to you anywhere in Burbank, Magnolia Park, or the Media District. The consultation is free, 24/7.

California's two-year statute under CCP § 335.1 applies to most Burbank injury claims. If the City of Burbank is involved — a road defect, a City vehicle — you have just six months under Gov. Code § 911.2. Call us today.

What we handle in Burbank

Every type of injury.
One firm.

From airport rideshare crashes to freeway interchange collisions — if someone else's negligence injured you in Burbank, we handle it.

Car Accidents
Crashes at the I-5/SR-134 interchange and on Burbank Blvd, Magnolia Blvd, and Olive Ave. Studio-commute traffic surges create predictable congestion and collision risk.
Rideshare Accidents
Hollywood Burbank Airport's pickup and dropoff zones see constant vehicle movement and pedestrian crossings. We identify the correct driver, app status, and coverage layer every time.
Pedestrian Accidents
Downtown Burbank crosswalk strikes along San Fernando Blvd and airport curbside incidents. Vehicle Code § 21950 requires drivers to yield — when they don't, we pursue every claim.
Premises Liability
Hazardous conditions at Burbank Town Center, studio lot visitor areas, and Downtown Burbank retail and dining establishments.
Slip & Fall
Retail and dining along San Fernando Blvd and the Burbank Town Center complex. Property owners are responsible for maintaining safe walkways and parking areas.
Motorcycle Accidents
Freeway interchange collisions and left-turn failures on Victory Blvd and Alameda Ave near the Media District. Motorcycle crashes here are frequently undervalued by insurers.
Wrongful Death
When a family member is killed by someone else's negligence in Burbank, surviving spouses, children, and dependents can recover the full economic and non-economic value of the loss.
Catastrophic Injury
Spinal cord injuries, TBI, and severe trauma from high-speed freeway interchange collisions. Lifetime damages cases require life care planners and forensic economists.

Burbank's specific injury landscape

Why Burbank cases
are different.

Burbank's airport, studios, and freeway interchange create injury patterns — and legal nuances — we know how to build cases around.

I-5 & SR-134 Interchange
One of the busiest freeway junctions in the San Fernando Valley, with frequent high-speed collisions, particularly during studio shift-change hours when traffic surges predictably each weekday.
Hollywood Burbank Airport Curbside
Designated rideshare pickup and dropoff zones see constant vehicle movement, double-parking, and pedestrians crossing between terminal and curbside areas — a recurring source of both vehicle and pedestrian claims.
Studio Commute Traffic
Warner Bros., Disney, and other studio lots generate predictable rush-hour surges tied to crew call times and production schedules, concentrated on Alameda Ave, Olive Ave, and Victory Blvd near the Media District.
Downtown Burbank & San Fernando Blvd
Burbank's shopping and dining corridor draws heavy foot traffic to retail and restaurants, creating a distinct category of premises liability claims involving parking structures and pedestrian walkways.
Separate Municipal Government
Burbank is its own incorporated city — government tort claims here go against the City of Burbank, not LADOT or the City of Los Angeles. Getting the right defendant and deadline correct from day one is essential.
Chandler Bikeway
Burbank's rail-to-trail bike path draws cyclists across the city, with vehicle crossings at street intersections creating cyclist-vehicle conflict points that require the same three-foot passing analysis as anywhere else in the county.

Frequently asked questions

Honest answers
to hard questions.

Two years from the date of injury under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1. If your injury involved a City of Burbank vehicle or a dangerous condition on a Burbank-maintained street, you have just six months to file an administrative tort claim under Government Code § 911.2. Burbank is its own incorporated city — separate from Los Angeles — so a government claim here is filed against the City of Burbank, not LADOT or the City of Los Angeles. Missing either deadline permanently bars your case.
Yes. Hollywood Burbank Airport's designated rideshare pickup and dropoff zones see constant vehicle movement, double-parking, and pedestrians crossing between the terminal and curbside areas. If an Uber or Lyft driver caused your injury, coverage depends on whether the driver was waiting for a match, en route, or actively on a trip. If the airport itself — operated by the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority, a joint powers authority separate from the City of Burbank — maintained a hazardous curbside condition, a different and potentially shorter claims process may apply. We identify the correct defendant and insurance layer immediately.
The I-5 and SR-134 interchange is one of the busiest freeway junctions in the San Fernando Valley and sees frequent high-speed collisions, particularly during studio shift-change hours. Surface streets including Burbank Boulevard, Magnolia Boulevard, Olive Avenue, and San Fernando Boulevard carry heavy commuter and studio-commute traffic. Victory Boulevard and Alameda Avenue near the Media District see elevated congestion tied to production schedules at nearby studio lots.
It depends on the circumstances. If a studio-affiliated vehicle — a production van, a crew shuttle, a permitted street closure vehicle — caused your accident, the studio or its transportation vendor may bear liability under standard negligence principles, separate from any government claim. We investigate production schedules, permitted street closures, and vehicle ownership records to identify every potentially liable party in studio-related traffic accidents.
Yes. Under Civil Code § 1714, property owners and operators — including Downtown Burbank retail and dining along San Fernando Boulevard and the Burbank Town Center shopping complex — have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. Wet floors, inadequate lighting in parking structures, and poorly maintained walkways are all compensable premises liability issues. We investigate maintenance and inspection records to establish the property owner had notice of the hazard.
Yes. California follows pure comparative fault under Civil Code § 1431.2. Even if you were 30% responsible, you recover 70% of your total damages. Insurers routinely try to inflate fault percentages, particularly in complex freeway interchange collisions with multiple vehicles. We build the factual record — traffic data, witness statements, black box data — that defeats those inflated assignments.
Burbank cases are typically filed in Los Angeles Superior Court at the Burbank Courthouse, located at 300 East Olive Avenue, which handles civil matters arising in the Burbank and Glendale areas. Depending on the case, some matters may also be venued at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in Downtown Los Angeles. We file and litigate in all relevant LA Superior Court venues.
You pay nothing upfront. We advance every litigation cost — accident reconstruction, medical experts, depositions, court filing fees. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, paid only when we win. If there is no recovery, you owe us nothing. We come to you anywhere in Burbank or the surrounding area.
Call 911 and get a police report from the Burbank Police Department. Photograph everything — vehicle damage, road conditions, your injuries, and the surrounding area. If the accident happened near the airport or a studio lot, note any relevant signage, gate numbers, or vehicle markings. Seek medical attention the same day. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney. Then call Law Dog — surveillance footage overwrites in as little as 24 to 72 hours.
