No Fee Unless We Win
The Law Offices of Adrianos Facchetti secured a $100,000 recovery for a 75-year-old Burbank resident injured in a hit-and-run crash near Burbank Boulevard and the southbound I-5 off-ramp. The case involved an uninsured driver, a claim against the client’s own insurance company, and an arbitration demand that helped move the case beyond the insurer’s first offers. If you were hurt in a similar crash, a Burbank car accident lawyer can help you understand your rights and available insurance coverage.
This case involved a Burbank resident who was struck by a driver fleeing from CHP at speeds exceeding 100 mph. The at-fault driver ran a red light, hit the right rear of our client’s truck, and caused the vehicle to spin out and become disabled in the roadway. Because the driver fled the scene and carried no insurance, the case became an uninsured motorist claim instead of a standard bodily injury claim.
Our client was driving through the intersection of Burbank Boulevard and the southbound I-5 off-ramp when the other driver came speeding off the freeway and ran a red light. The impact caused major vehicle damage and left our client injured. The at-fault driver fled the scene and was later arrested for felony hit and run and felony evading.
Because the crash happened in Burbank and involved a serious roadway collision, this page should connect clearly to the firm’s local Burbank personal injury lawyer and car accident content.
The crash caused neck and shoulder injuries that required medical care. Injections were recommended, but our client chose to continue with conservative treatment. That treatment choice became important because the insurance company tried to value the claim below what the firm believed was fair.
Even when a client does not undergo injections or surgery, a case can still have significant value if the medical records, symptoms, crash facts, and insurance issues support the claim. Serious injury claims may also overlap with a catastrophic injury case when the injuries create long-term limits or major disruption.
The at-fault driver had no insurance, so the Law Offices of Adrianos Facchetti pursued an uninsured motorist claim against State Farm, our client’s own insurance company. State Farm initially offered $66,904.34 and later increased the offer to $70,000. The firm believed the claim was worth more based on the crash facts, injuries, and available coverage.
This is an important reminder that an injured person may still have options even when the at-fault driver has no insurance. A Burbank car accident lawyer can review all available coverage, including uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist coverage.
After State Farm refused to offer what the firm believed was a fair amount, the Law Offices of Adrianos Facchetti served a demand for arbitration and formal discovery on State Farm. This moved the case forward and showed the insurance company that the firm was prepared to pursue the claim instead of accepting a low offer.

The case ultimately resolved for $100,000. That recovery was more than 49% above State Farm’s first offer of $66,904.34 and $30,000 above its later $70,000 offer. The result was reached after the firm pushed the uninsured motorist claim forward through an arbitration demand and discovery.
This Burbank uninsured motorist case shows why injury victims should not assume the first insurance offer is the final value of the claim. The case involved a hit-and-run driver, no available liability insurance from the at-fault driver, a conservative treatment path, and a disputed insurance valuation. By preparing the case for arbitration, the firm was able to secure a higher recovery for the client.
