If you're injured in a nighttime car crash in Burbank, your safety comes first — but your legal steps matter just as much. Here's what to do:

• Call 911 immediately to report the accident and request medical attention.
• Document the scene as best you can. Use your phone to take photos of the vehicles, any visible injuries, road conditions, street lighting (or lack thereof), and skid marks.
• Exchange information with the other driver(s), including insurance details and license numbers.
• Look for witnesses, even nearby residents or other drivers, and get their contact info.
• Avoid making statements about fault at the scene — even a polite “I’m sorry” could be used against you.
• Seek medical attention, even if you feel “okay” — injuries often show up hours or days later.
• Contact a local personal injury attorney, like Tim Wright Law, to help preserve your claim, handle insurance negotiations, and investigate the crash — especially important in low-visibility night conditions where liability can get murky.
