Nine Months of Crashes on Burbank Boulevard

Crash reports on Burbank Boulevard are filed intersection by intersection. No single report looks unusual. But pull the full nine months of CHP data for the entire corridor and a different picture emerges: 13 crashes, 7 involving injuries. 3 intersections along this stretch independently qualify as high-crash locations. Crash frequency dipped 17% from the prior period, but a road does not get a clean slate because one window improved over another. Under California Government Code Section 835, a public entity can be liable for a dangerous condition of public property. A documented crash pattern spanning an entire road is evidence the condition was known and left unaddressed.

Senior Attorneys, Not a Call Center

I grew up in the San Fernando Valley, graduated from El Camino Real High School and UCLA Law School, and I've spent my career representing people who were hurt because someone else wasn't paying attention. I take these cases personally because I've watched families in this community deal with the aftermath of serious crashes. If you were injured, I want to hear what happened.

Dangerous road design

When the Road Itself Is the Problem

Not every crash is a driver's fault. Under California Government Code § 835, a public entity, whether it's a city, county, or Caltrans, can be held liable when a dangerous condition on public property causes injury. A "dangerous condition" can include poor sight lines, missing turn lanes, inadequate signage, confusing lane markings, or signal timing that doesn't account for actual traffic patterns.

What makes a road design case different from a standard auto accident claim is evidence of notice. If a city knew or should have known about a hazard and failed to fix it, they're on the hook. Crash history at a specific location is one of the strongest forms of evidence that a condition was known. When the same spot produces crash after crash, it becomes very difficult for a government entity to argue they had no idea.

Frequently asked questions

Common Questions After a Crash Here

How dangerous is Burbank Boulevard in Lake Balboa?
CHP data shows 13 reported crashes along Burbank Boulevard in Lake Balboa in the last nine months, with an injury rate of 54%. This single road accounts for 4% of all crashes in Lake Balboa. 3 intersections along the corridor independently qualify as high-crash locations.
Does the road design on Burbank Boulevard affect my case?
It can. When a road produces crashes at this rate across multiple intersections, it raises questions about signal timing, lane configuration, sight lines, and speed limits. If the road design contributed to your crash, the public entity responsible for maintaining Burbank Boulevard may share liability. Government claims have a six-month deadline, shorter than the standard two-year personal injury statute.
If crashes are spread across multiple intersections on Burbank Boulevard, who is responsible?
It depends on the road. Streets in California can be maintained by the city, the county, or Caltrans, and some corridors change jurisdiction mid-road. When the crash pattern spans the entire corridor rather than clustering at one intersection, the responsible public entity may be liable under California Government Code Section 835 for failing to address a known dangerous condition. An attorney can determine which agency maintains Burbank Boulevard and whether a government tort claim is viable.
Does the type of crash on Burbank Boulevard affect whether the road design is at fault?
Side Swipe collisions account for 38% of crashes along this corridor. That concentration across multiple intersections may indicate a design issue with the road. When the same collision type repeats along an entire road, it shifts the question from individual driver behavior to road design and maintenance.
I was in a crash on Burbank Boulevard but I do not remember the exact cross street. Can I still file a claim?
Yes. You do not need to know the exact intersection. If you know you were on Burbank Boulevard and you were hurt, that is enough to start. CHP records include GPS coordinates and officer descriptions of the crash location. An attorney can pull the full report and match it to the documented crash pattern on this corridor.
