Car Accident Lawyer in Burbank & Los Angeles

An injury is about more than a doctor’s visit. It’s your time, your car, your paycheck and your peace of mind.

Red-light runners, T-bones and rear-end collisions can leave you dealing with injuries, a damaged car and an insurance company that wants a quick, cheap answer. Scott Adrian takes over those calls, makes sure you get the medical care you need, and negotiates for the full value of your claim. When a fair settlement isn’t offered, he is ready for trial.

Recent results include $850,000 in an auto vs. auto case in the Los Angeles area.

Got into an accident about June 2024. Someone blew a red light and t-boned another car that then hit me. Immediately called Scott and he got to work. Went through all the treatment and fast forward to June 2025 I received my settlement. After going back and forth with insurance Scott was able to negotiate a fair settlement amount that I am very pleased with. Amazing work. Highly recommended!

Questions about car accidents

Should I talk to the other driver’s insurance company?

You have no legal or contractual obligation to give the other driver’s insurer a recorded statement in California. Adjusters often call within 24–48 hours, before injuries like whiplash fully show. Tell them you’re happy to cooperate through your lawyer.

What should I do at the scene of a car accident?

Get to a safe location, call the police to make a report, gather driver and witness information, take pictures of everything (scene, cars, damage, injuries, people), contact your lawyer, and don’t admit fault or sign anything except for the police.

What if I was partly at fault?

California follows pure comparative negligence, so you can still recover, reduced by your share of fault. For example, someone found 60% at fault for $100,000 in damages can still recover $40,000.

What compensation can I recover after a car accident?

Depending on your case: pain and suffering, lost wages, past and future medical costs, lost or damaged property, and other special damages.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim?

In most California personal injury cases, a lawsuit must be filed within two years of the injury (Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1). If a city, county or state vehicle was involved, a written claim usually has to be filed with that agency within six months (Government Code § 911.2). Deadlines can differ, so it's best to call early. Your consultation is free.
