After a car accident resulting in injury, you may feel angry, fearful, and completely overwhelmed. Trying to deal with physical pain and parties pointing blame, all while medical costs and other bills are piling up can cause intense emotional trauma and financial difficulties.

Truck Accident

Our lawyers have extensive experience handling truck accident cases and a deep understanding of California and federal trucking regulations. From analyzing maintenance records to calculate the full extent of your financial losses, our legal team is here to support you.

Motorcyle Accident

Speeding, texting while driving, running a red light, or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can all lead to accidents. Unfortunately, negligent drivers are often underinsured. For example, if a negligent driver only has $15,000 in liability coverage, this will not come close to compensating a person who suffers a brain injury.

Bicycle Accident

Without airbags, seat belts, or the protection of heavy steel doors, bicyclists on San Diego’s traffic heavy roads are at high risk of an accident. At The Hulburt Law Firm, we are dedicated to providing expert legal representation for bike accident victims.

Bus Accident

Whether your accident was caused by the bus driver’s negligence, mechanical failure, or by other drivers on the road, the Hulburt Law Firm is dedicated to providing expert legal representation for bus accident victims.

Pedestrian Accident

Unlike driving in a vehicle with safety features like seatbelts and airbags, pedestrians do not have access to the same benefits and as such are highly vulnerable to accidents. If you or a loved one has been involved in a pedestrian accident in San Diego, it’s essential to understand your legal rights.

Construction Accident

With heavy machinery, hazardous materials, and complex procedures, the potential for accidents is high. Despite rigorous industry safety standards, accidents happen, often leading to severe injuries or fatalities. When these accidents occur, victims and their families need qualified legal representation to navigate the complexities of personal injury claims and to secure the compensation they deserve.

Aviation Accident

Airplane crashes cause fewer fatalities compared to car accidents. However, taking flight is not without its own risks. From mechanical failure and inadequate maintenance, to pilot errors, aviation accidents can happen. Whether you’ve experienced an accident in an airplane, airliner, jet, or helicopter, the Hulburt Law Firm attorneys have extensive experience handling aviation accident cases.

Premises Liability

Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility of property owners and occupiers to ensure their property is safe for visitors. If someone is injured on a property due to unsafe conditions, the property owner or occupier may be held liable for the injuries.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one is one of the most challenging experiences anyone can face, especially when their death is the result of someone else’s wrongful or negligent actions. Whether from medical malpractice, a car accident, defective product, or other circumstance, The Hulburt Law Firm is here for you.

Brain Injury

Brain injuries resulting from accidents are life-altering, affecting not only the victim but their entire family. Seeking legal guidance from an experienced personal injury lawyer specializing in brain injury cases is crucial for securing the compensation you deserve.

Spine Injury

Spine injuries are among the most severe and life-altering injuries one can suffer. They can lead to significant physical, emotional, and financial challenges, including chronic pain, loss of mobility, and long-term care needs. We understand the challenges you face and are here to provide the legal expertise and support you need to navigate this difficult time.

Burn Injury

Burn injuries are exceptionally painful due to a combination of nerve damage, inflammation, swelling, release of pain-inducing chemicals, and psychological factors. These injuries can lead to an immense physical, emotional, and financial toll upon victims and their families.

Automotive Defect

Driving your vehicle should be a safe and enjoyable experience. However, when an accident happens and an automotive defect is at fault, you need the right legal representation to pursue justice and hold vehicle manufacturers accountable.

Product Defect

From electronics, household cleaning products, to even mattresses, consumer products can be defective leading to accidental injuries or even death. California product defect law holds manufacturers, distributors, and retailers responsible for compensating victims of defective products.

Dangerous Roadway Conditions

The condition of the road should be the least of your concerns when driving in a high-traffic area like San Diego. If you’ve experienced an injury as a result of dangerous roadway conditions, the Hulburt Law Firm can help.

Boating Accident

From operator negligence and equipment failure, to hazardous weather conditions, there are numerous factors that can be attributed to boating accidents. These accidents can result in serious injuries such as drowning, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and more. Boat and jet ski operators have a legal duty to operate their vessels safely and responsibly, and failure to do so can result in liability for any resulting injuries or damages.

Dog Bite

Serious dog bites can result in physical injuries, emotional trauma, and significant financial burdens. In California, dog owners are liable for injuries their dogs cause if the victim was lawfully on private property or in a public place, and victims can seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

You’ve Got Questions, We’ve Got Answers

Personal injury cases can feel complex and overwhelming. Find the answers you need to navigate your case with confidence.

Do I need a personal injury lawyer?

If you have suffered significant injuries, then you need a lawyer to ensure you are fairly compensated. Defendants and their insurance companies will not pay full case value without the threat of a lawyer taking your case to trial.

Why should I hire a personal injury lawyer?

Our lawyers specialize in serious injury cases. We know how to identify and pursue all potential wrongdoers, how to negotiate with defendants and their insurance companies, and how to prepare your case for trial to greatly increase your recovery.

What is my personal injury claim worth?

Your injury claim value has two parts: (1) your economic damages (medical expenses, lost wages, property damage), and (2) your noneconomic damages (pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life). We determine your case value based on your injuries, the facts, the law, similar case results, and our years of experience. During your free case review, we’ll discuss your case value.

How much does hiring a personal injury lawyer cost?

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront costs or legal fees unless we win your case. This arrangement ensures that you have access to high-quality legal representation without financial strain.

Our standard contingent fee is 25% of any recovery before filing a lawsuit, 33% after filing a lawsuit, and 40% within 60 days of trial. During your free case review, we’ll discuss attorney fees and associated case costs, such as hiring an expert, with you.

When should I reach out to a personal injury lawyer?

You should reach out to an attorney after your injury as soon as possible in order to begin exploring your options and understanding your legal rights.

How long will my case take to resolve?

Most serious injury cases take 1-2 years to resolve. Some cases resolve sooner, while others take longer. The legal process takes time, defendants resist paying full compensation, courts are understaffed, and trials are often scheduled a year out after filing the lawsuit. We do everything in our power to push your lawsuit forward as swiftly as possible.

Will my case go to trial?

Based on court statistics, there is a strong likelihood that your case will settle before trial. Settlement is often the best result for everyone involved. However, there is a chance that your case may go to trial. It is important that you are prepared to go to trial, if necessary. Trial is not as scary as it may seem and we guide you through every step of the process.
