Hulburt Law Firm represents people and families after Amazon truck accidents involving serious injuries and wrongful death throughout San Diego County. We help drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists injured in crashes involving Amazon delivery vans, tractor-trailers, and other vehicles.
An Amazon-branded vehicle may be operated by a separate delivery company. We preserve critical evidence, identify potentially responsible parties and available insurance, and prepare every case for settlement or trial.
Seriously injured in an Amazon truck or delivery van accident? We can help.

Amazon deliveries bring commercial vehicles into neighborhoods, business districts, and busy intersections throughout San Diego County. We handle serious injury and wrongful death cases involving the following types of crashes.
Most Amazon-branded vans are run by Delivery Service Partners on routes Amazon assigns and tracks. We investigate the driver's actions, the route and stop sequence the driver was working, and which companies operated and insured the van.
Large trucks transporting Amazon freight can cause catastrophic injuries in freeway and intersection crashes. These cases may require examining the motor carrier, driver fatigue, vehicle maintenance, cargo loading, and the safety requirements that apply to the truck.
Some Amazon deliveries are made by drivers using their own cars through Amazon Flex. We investigate the delivery assignment and the driver’s activity at the time of the collision, then examine the insurance policies that may apply.
Drivers must watch for people walking and cycling when turning, backing, opening doors, or leaving a delivery stop. We investigate visibility, vehicle positioning, driver attention, and whether an unsafe stopping or parking location contributed to the collision. These cases draw on our work in pedestrian accident and bicycle accident cases.
Reversing out of a driveway or maneuvering through an apartment complex can cause serious injuries even at low speeds. We examine whether the driver checked the path, used available cameras and mirrors, and took appropriate precautions before moving the vehicle.
We represent delivery drivers seriously injured in crashes caused by another motorist. We handle the separate personal injury claim against the responsible third party. Hulburt Law Firm does not handle workers’ compensation claims.
We represent families after fatal crashes involving Amazon delivery vehicles and freight trucks. We investigate what happened, identify the responsible people and companies, and help families pursue accountability and compensation through a wrongful death claim.
Conor and Leslie Hulburt founded Hulburt Law Firm to give serious injury and wrongful death cases the preparation and personal attention they deserve. The firm accepts a limited number of cases so clients work directly with their attorneys.
Conor Hulburt’s commercial vehicle experience includes a worker crushed by a reversing dump truck, a bicyclist and jogger struck and killed by commercial vehicles, and passengers injured when a fatigued truck driver crossed a freeway median. He has recovered more than $150 million for injured clients, including a $28.16 million jury verdict.
Leslie Hulburt brings extensive litigation experience, representing clients through discovery, mediation, trial, and appeal. Together, they investigate what happened, demonstrate the full impact of the harm, and prepare each case to hold the responsible parties accountable.

Our attorneys have obtained substantial recoveries in truck and commercial vehicle cases involving serious injuries and wrongful death.
A dump truck driver backed into a construction worker without first checking that the path was clear, crushing his leg against a bulldozer.
A commercial truck driver drifted off the roadway and struck and killed a San Diego bicyclist who was lawfully riding on the shoulder.
A fatigued box-truck driver fell asleep behind the wheel, crossed the Interstate 8 median into oncoming traffic, and struck an RV, seriously injuring its occupants.
We start by learning what happened, the injuries or loss your family has suffered, and what information is available. We review relevant records and give you a candid assessment of whether we can help. The consultation is confidential, and there is no obligation to hire us.
We move quickly to preserve evidence that could be lost or overwritten. Depending on the vehicle and delivery operation, this may include camera footage, GPS and route data, delivery timestamps, electronic vehicle records, and communications with dispatchers. We also gather photographs, witness accounts, and crash reports.
We investigate what caused the crash and which people or companies may be responsible. That may involve examining the driver’s employer, vehicle ownership, delivery contracts, training, maintenance, and the role Amazon played in directing the work. When appropriate, we work with accident reconstructionists and other specialists.
We gather medical records and work with treating providers and appropriate experts to understand how the injuries affect your life. We evaluate medical expenses, future care needs, lost income, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering. In wrongful death cases, we examine the financial support and personal relationship the family has lost.
We present the evidence and pursue compensation from the responsible parties and their insurers. Our preparation addresses disputed fault, the relationships between the companies involved, and the full extent of your losses. We explain settlement offers so you can make informed decisions.
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take the case to trial. Conor and Leslie develop the testimony, expert opinions, graphics, and other evidence needed to explain what happened and how it changed your life. We keep you informed and involved throughout the process.

Amazon truck accident cases demand careful investigation into the driver, delivery company, and Amazon’s role. We preserve critical evidence, identify potentially responsible parties, and prepare every case for trial.
Hulburt Law Firm takes on fewer cases so Conor and Leslie can stay directly involved, understand what you have lost, and give your case the attention it deserves.
An Amazon truck accident can involve several companies, different insurance policies, and disputed responsibility for the driver. California law looks at what each party did and the relationships between them. The Amazon name on a vehicle is a starting point for the investigation.
A negligent driver may be responsible for causing a collision. The driver’s employer may also be liable when the driver was working within the scope of employment. Depending on the evidence, other responsible parties may include a vehicle owner, maintenance company, motor carrier, or Amazon itself.
Under California Civil Code section 2338, a company can be responsible for its agent’s negligence while carrying out the agency’s business. Identifying the companies involved and establishing their relationships is an important part of the case.
Many Amazon-branded delivery vans are operated by Delivery Service Partners, or DSPs. These are separate businesses that hire drivers, while Amazon provides technology, infrastructure, and other support through its DSP program.
A crash involving a DSP driver requires investigating both the delivery company’s responsibility and whether the facts support claims against Amazon. The delivery contract, operating requirements, and actual working practices can help establish each company’s role. The same contractor questions arise in FedEx truck accident cases, where many drivers work for separate delivery companies.
Calling a driver or delivery company an independent contractor does not, by itself, resolve every question of liability. When employment status is disputed, California’s common law test places particular importance on the hiring party’s right to control how the work is performed, along with other factors described in the California civil jury instructions.
In an Amazon case, the investigation may examine route assignments, delivery requirements, driver monitoring, equipment, and contractual authority. These facts can help determine whether Amazon had a relationship with the driver that creates legal responsibility. Branding alone does not establish that relationship.
Amazon may face a claim based on its own conduct, separate from whether it is legally responsible for the driver’s negligence. Depending on the evidence and applicable legal duties, this could include negligently selecting a delivery contractor or imposing delivery requirements that create foreseeable driving hazards.
These claims require proof that Amazon’s own actions or failures contributed to the crash. We investigate the delivery requirements, safety records, contractual responsibilities, and any warnings about unsafe practices to determine whether the evidence supports a claim against Amazon.
California treats these direct claims differently from claims based only on the company's relationship with the driver. Our article on Diaz v. Carcamo explains how the two theories interact.
Available coverage depends on the driver, vehicle, delivery arrangement, and policy terms. A delivery van, freight truck, and personal vehicle used for Amazon Flex may involve different policies and coverage questions.
We investigate the driver’s work status at the time of the collision, identify potentially applicable insurance, and examine any coverage exclusions or denials. The logo on the vehicle does not establish which policy applies or how much coverage is available.
Under California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, most personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within two years. Exceptions can change the deadline, and claims involving government entities may require much earlier action.
Evidence preservation should begin well before the filing deadline. Prompt investigation can help protect vehicle records, delivery data, and video needed to establish what happened.
We examine delivery records, vehicle data, video, and company practices to uncover what happened and who may be responsible.
We use technology and graphics to make complex evidence clear to insurers, mediators, judges, and juries.
We identify responsible parties and available insurance to pursue compensation that reflects the full impact of your injuries or loss.
Our attorneys bring substantial experience handling truck and commercial vehicle cases involving catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, and disputed liability.
We accept a limited number of cases so Conor and Leslie can provide direct involvement, personal attention, and clear communication.
Get medical care first and report the crash. If you can safely do so, photograph the vehicles, license plates, company markings, and scene, and collect witness contact information. Early legal help can be important because delivery data and camera footage may be lost or overwritten.
You may have a claim against Amazon if the evidence establishes a legal basis for holding it responsible. That may involve its relationship with the driver or Amazon’s own negligence. An Amazon logo alone does not establish liability, so the delivery arrangements and circumstances of the crash need careful investigation.
A Delivery Service Partner, or DSP, is a separate business that hires drivers to deliver Amazon packages. You may have claims against the driver and DSP, as well as Amazon or other parties where the evidence supports them. We examine contracts, operating practices, and insurance to identify the appropriate claims.
We investigate whether the driver was making Amazon deliveries at the time and which insurance policies may apply. The driver’s delivery status and the policy terms can affect coverage, so identifying the vehicle’s personal insurer is only part of the inquiry.
Important evidence may include camera footage, GPS records, delivery timestamps, route assignments, vehicle data, maintenance records, and witness accounts. Contracts and communications between Amazon and the delivery company may also help establish responsibility. The relevant evidence depends on the vehicle and delivery operation.
The value depends on your injuries, medical expenses, future care needs, lost income, and the effect on your life. Disputed fault and available insurance can also affect the recovery. We evaluate those factors before recommending a settlement amount.
Most California personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits have a two-year filing deadline, although exceptions can change it. Claims involving government entities may require earlier action. Prompt review helps protect both the claim and evidence needed to prove it.
The initial case review is free and confidential. We handle injury cases on a contingency fee, meaning there is no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you. Case costs and how they are handled are explained in the written fee agreement.
