We represent people seriously injured in crashes on State Route 76, Interstate 15, Mission Road, Reche Road, and other roads throughout Fallbrook and North County.

We represent pedestrians seriously injured in crosswalks, intersections, parking areas, and along roadways by negligent drivers or dangerous conditions.

When a defective tire, restraint system, vehicle structure, or other component causes or worsens an injury, the manufacturer may be responsible.
Manufacturers and sellers may be responsible when unsafe products cause serious injuries because of defective design, manufacturing defects, or inadequate warnings.
Because Fallbrook is unincorporated, roadway cases may involve either Caltrans or the County of San Diego depending on who owns and maintains the road. Unsafe design, missing warnings, poor sight distance, and other dangerous conditions can contribute to serious crashes.
Attorneys Conor Hulburt and Leslie Hulburt represent people and families in Fallbrook facing catastrophic injury and wrongful death. By accepting a limited number of serious cases, they remain directly involved in the investigation, preparation, and presentation of each case.
Conor has recovered more than $150 million for clients, including a $28.16 million jury verdict against Caltrans. His practice focuses on uncovering what happened, identifying every responsible party, and presenting each client’s story clearly and persuasively. He is recognized by The Best Lawyers in America and Super Lawyers and holds Martindale-Hubbell’s AV Preeminent peer rating.
Leslie brings extensive experience in mediations, arbitrations, trials, and appeals. Her background in journalism and education strengthens her ability to investigate complex cases, explain difficult evidence, and communicate a client’s experience with clarity and impact.

Our attorneys have achieved significant verdicts and settlements in serious injury and wrongful death cases throughout California. Every case is different, and past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome.
Jury verdict against Caltrans for a 13-year-old boy who suffered a catastrophic brain injury after he was struck by a vehicle while using a dangerous crosswalk.

Tell us what happened and how you were injured. We’ll evaluate the incident, potential defendants, and whether we can help. There is no charge for the consultation.
We preserve evidence, obtain records, interview witnesses, identify responsible parties and insurance coverage, and bring in experts when needed to prove what happened and the full extent of your injuries.
We prepare every case with trial in mind. That allows us to negotiate from a position of strength and take the case to a jury when the responsible parties refuse to provide fair compensation.
Fallbrook's highways, rural two-lane roads, and winding backcountry routes create distinctive risks. Serious crashes often involve speed, limited sight distance, roadway conditions, or questions about whether Caltrans or the County of San Diego maintained the road.
State Route 76 runs along Fallbrook's southern edge through Bonsall, while Interstate 15 forms a major connection on the east. Mission Road, Reche Road, and Ammunition Road carry much of the community's local traffic, and narrow rural roads can leave little room for error when a driver speeds, crosses the center line, or fails to yield.
Serious collisions on these roads may involve more than ordinary driver negligence. Evidence such as vehicle data, surveillance video, roadway measurements, sight-distance analysis, and prior collision history can help determine why a crash occurred.
Our guide to what to do after a car accident explains the immediate steps that can protect a claim. Learn more about our car accident practice.
Who owns and maintains the road can be especially important in Fallbrook. State Route 76 is maintained by Caltrans, while many local roads fall under the County of San Diego because Fallbrook is an unincorporated community.
A dangerous intersection, inadequate warning, poor sight distance, unsafe roadway design, or other public-property condition may support a claim against the responsible government agency. These cases have much shorter deadlines than ordinary injury claims. A government claim for personal injury generally must be presented within six months.
Our attorneys have taken on Caltrans and won, including a $28.16 million jury verdict in a dangerous-roadway case involving a catastrophically injured child. Past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in future cases.

Fallbrook's winding two-lane roads attract motorcyclists traveling through De Luz, Sandia Creek, the Santa Margarita River area, and the backcountry beyond SR-76. Those same curves, blind driveways, and narrow lanes can leave riders especially vulnerable when a driver crosses the center line, pulls onto the road without seeing a motorcycle, or turns left across a rider's path.
Motorcycle cases often require careful investigation because insurers may try to place responsibility on the rider. California's comparative-fault rules allow an injured motorcyclist to recover even when the evidence shows some shared responsibility, although compensation can be reduced by the rider's percentage of fault.
Our guide to California motorcycle laws explains important rules for riders. Learn more about our motorcycle accident practice.
Hulburt Law Firm is built to handle serious cases differently. We accept a limited number of clients so we can investigate each case thoroughly, stay directly involved, and prepare from the beginning as though the case may ultimately be tried.

A catastrophic injury is a severe injury, such as a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, or severe burn, that causes long-term or permanent disability and significantly affects a person's ability to work, live independently, or participate in everyday life.
Most California personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the injury. Claims involving public entities, including Caltrans and the County of San Diego, can involve much shorter deadlines, generally requiring a government claim within six months.
Our guide to the personal injury statute of limitations explains these deadlines and important exceptions.
It can. State Route 76 is a state highway, so if a dangerous roadway condition contributed to the crash, there may be a claim against Caltrans in addition to a claim against a negligent driver. Claims against the state generally require a government claim to be presented within six months, making early investigation especially important.
Our guide to suing Caltrans after a California accident explains how these claims work.
Yes. Fallbrook does not have a city government responsible for its local streets. Many roads are maintained by the County of San Diego, while state highways such as SR-76 are maintained by Caltrans. Identifying who owned and controlled the road is an important first step when unsafe design, poor sight distance, missing warnings, or another roadway condition may have contributed to a crash.
Learn more about our dangerous roadway conditions practice.
Because Fallbrook is unincorporated, many traffic collisions on public roads are investigated by the California Highway Patrol rather than a city police department. The San Diego County Sheriff's Fallbrook Substation provides other law enforcement services in the community. The investigating agency depends on the exact location and circumstances of the collision.
We obtain the report as part of our investigation, but we do not assume its conclusions are correct. Physical evidence, photographs, video, witnesses, vehicle data, and roadway evidence may tell a different story. CHP reports can also be requested through the California Highway Patrol.
No. Because of Fallbrook's location near the Riverside County line, an injured person may receive emergency or follow-up care outside San Diego County. Seriously injured patients may also be transported to Palomar UC San Diego Health Escondido, North County's Level II Trauma Center, depending on the circumstances and emergency medical protocols.
Receiving treatment in another county does not prevent you from pursuing a claim arising from a Fallbrook accident. Medical records from every hospital, physician, therapist, and other provider involved in your care can become important evidence of your injuries and future needs.
Yes. A service member injured by a negligent civilian generally has the same right to pursue a personal injury claim as another injured person. Your military status can affect issues such as medical care, benefits, liens, and damages, but it does not by itself prevent a claim against a negligent driver or other private party.
Cases involving a federal employee, military vehicle, or federal property are different and may fall under the Federal Tort Claims Act, which has its own claim procedures and deadlines.
California generally holds a dog owner strictly liable when the dog bites someone in a public place or while the person is lawfully on private property. Depending on the circumstances, other parties may also be responsible, including a landlord or property owner who knew about a dangerous dog and had the ability to address the hazard.
Our guide to California dog bite liability explains how these claims work.
Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning capacity, future care costs, pain, emotional distress, physical limitations, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Our guide to compensation for personal injury victims explains the different categories of damages that may be available.
