If you've just been rear-ended in Burbank, your first step should always be to check for injuries—both for yourself and anyone else involved. Call 911 if there's any sign of injury or serious damage. Even if you feel okay, it’s a good idea to get checked out, as some injuries (like whiplash) show up later.

Next, document everything: take photos of the vehicles, license plates, the street or intersection (like near Magnolia Blvd or the 5 Freeway), and gather contact and insurance info from the other driver. Don’t forget to get witness information if anyone saw what happened.

File a police report and seek medical care as soon as possible—those records can help support your injury claim. Finally, talk to a local personal injury attorney who knows Burbank’s legal landscape. At Tim Wright Law, we offer free consultations to help you understand your rights and next steps.
