Attorneys Conor Hulburt and Leslie Hulburt represent people and families in North Park and Central San Diego 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 claim.
Conor is an experienced trial lawyer who has recovered over $150 million for injured clients, including a $28.16 million verdict against Caltrans. His practice focuses on uncovering what happened, identifying every responsible party, and presenting the client’s case clearly and persuasively. He is recognized by The Best Lawyers in America and Super Lawyers and holds Martindale-Hubbell’s AV Preeminent peer rating.

Hulburt Law Firm’s attorneys have obtained substantial verdicts and settlements in cases involving serious injuries and wrongful death. Every case is different and past results do not guarantee 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.
North Park’s busy streets, walkable neighborhoods, nightlife, and bicycle traffic create risks for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists. Serious accidents often raise questions about fault, right-of-way, and insurance coverage.
North Park’s busiest streets bring drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders together in a compact urban area. The City of San Diego’s 2026 Comprehensive Speed Management Plan identifies portions of University Avenue, 30th Street, El Cajon Boulevard, Florida Street, Texas Street, and 35th Street as Safety Corridors based on crash history and roadway risk factors.
Serious collisions on these streets may involve speeding, impaired or distracted driving, unsafe turns, limited visibility, or failure to yield at a crosswalk. In some cases, signal timing, intersection design, inadequate lighting, or another roadway condition may also have contributed to the crash.
Our car accident attorneys investigate the conduct of everyone involved and whether the roadway itself played a role. When a dangerous public street or intersection contributed to an injury, a claim against the City of San Diego may be subject to a six-month government-claim deadline.
North Park’s restaurants, shops, apartments, and nightlife generate substantial pedestrian and bicycle traffic, particularly around 30th Street and University Avenue. People also regularly cross busy streets to reach businesses, bus stops, schools, and nearby neighborhoods.
Serious collisions can occur when drivers speed, make unsafe turns, open a vehicle door into a cyclist’s path, or fail to yield at a marked or unmarked crosswalk. Darkness, parked vehicles, and heavy evening traffic can make pedestrians and cyclists more difficult to see, but drivers must still use reasonable care.
Our pedestrian accident attorneys and bicycle accident attorneys investigate driver conduct, visibility, roadway design, and other factors that may have contributed to a serious injury. Our guide to California pedestrian right-of-way laws explains the responsibilities of drivers and pedestrians at intersections and crosswalks.
The San Diego Police Department’s Mid-City Division serves North Park. After an injury collision, eligible parties can request a copy of the collision report through the City’s police-report system. Photographs, witness information, medical records, and nearby surveillance footage may also become important evidence.
Most California personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the injury. A much shorter deadline generally applies when a dangerous sidewalk, defective intersection, inadequate lighting, or another condition of public property contributed to the accident. Under Government Code section 911.2, a written claim ordinarily must be presented to the responsible government entity within six months.
Claims involving City of San Diego property are submitted to the City’s Risk Management Department. Additional deadlines apply after the City responds, so it is important to investigate a potential government claim promptly.
Personal injury lawsuits arising in North Park may be filed in the San Diego County Superior Court. The proper courthouse and venue depend on the facts of the case and the parties involved. Court locations, filing information, and current procedures are available through the San Diego Superior Court.

We are committed to helping clients recover full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and long-term impacts after serious injuries.
A catastrophic injury causes lasting disability or substantially changes a person’s ability to work, live independently, or participate in daily life. Examples include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, severe burns, and other injuries requiring extensive future care.
Seek medical attention, report the accident, and preserve photographs, witness information, and other available evidence. Avoid giving a recorded statement to an insurance company before understanding your rights, and speak with an attorney promptly if the injuries are serious.
Most California personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years. If a public entity may be responsible, a written government claim generally must be presented within six months under Government Code section 911.2. Other exceptions can shorten or extend the applicable deadline.
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, diminished earning capacity, future care costs, pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. The available damages depend on the injuries, their long-term effects, and the circumstances of the accident.
Possibly. California follows comparative negligence, which allows an injured person to recover compensation even when partly at fault. The recovery is generally reduced by that person’s percentage of responsibility.
An impaired driver may be responsible for the full range of harm caused by the collision. Depending on the evidence, punitive damages may also be available when the driver acted with a conscious disregard for the safety of others.
North Park is served by the San Diego Police Department’s Mid-City Division. Eligible parties can request collision reports through the City’s police-report system. A police report can provide useful information, but it does not necessarily determine fault in a civil case.
The City of San Diego may be responsible if public property was in a dangerous condition and the legal requirements for public-entity liability are satisfied. These cases require prompt investigation because the government-claim deadline is generally six months.
Hulburt Law Firm offers free consultations and handles personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis. You pay no attorney’s fee unless the firm obtains a recovery for you.
