Meet Your Waymo Accident Attorneys
Conor and Leslie Hulburt founded Hulburt Law Firm to give serious injury and wrongful death cases the preparation and personal attention they require. We accept a limited number of cases so clients work directly with the attorneys responsible for their case.
Conor Hulburt has recovered more than $150 million for injured people and families in cases involving catastrophic injuries, dangerous roads, and defective products. His work includes claims against major vehicle manufacturers and government entities. Best Lawyers named him the 2027 San Diego Lawyer of the Year for plaintiffs’ product liability litigation, and he holds a Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent peer rating.
Leslie Hulburt brings extensive experience in litigation, arbitration, mediation, trials, and appeals. Her background in journalism and education informs her ability to investigate complicated facts and explain them clearly.
A Waymo claim may require both collision analysis and an examination of how a vehicle’s technology was designed and used. We bring our experience with serious crashes and defective products to that investigation, while keeping the focus on your recovery and the decisions you need to make.

How a Waymo Accident Case Works
Free Case Review
We begin with what happened, the injuries you suffered, and the questions you need answered. A ride receipt, photographs, a police report number, or messages from Waymo can help. You do not need to know why the vehicle acted as it did before contacting us.
Preserving Vehicle Records
We seek preservation of relevant sensor data, camera recordings, trip information, and communications with remote support. We also look for witnesses and nearby video. A preservation demand puts the recipient on notice to retain evidence; obtaining the records may require formal discovery or other legal proceedings.
Investigating the Crash
We compare available vehicle records with roadway evidence and witness accounts. When appropriate, accident reconstruction and engineering experts help evaluate what the vehicle detected, how it responded, and whether a different response could have prevented the injury.
Documenting Your Losses
We examine the treatment you have received, the care you may need, and the effect of your injuries on work and daily life. Medical specialists, life-care planners, and financial experts may help establish the long-term consequences of a serious injury.
Evaluating Settlement
We present the evidence supporting your claim and negotiate with the responsible parties and their insurers. Before you decide whether to accept an offer, we explain the payment, the rights you would release, and any unresolved questions about future care. The settlement decision remains yours.
Litigation and Arbitration
If a fair resolution cannot be reached, we pursue the appropriate legal process. Depending on the parties and any enforceable agreement, that may involve a lawsuit or arbitration. We prepare the evidence for discovery, expert testimony, and a contested hearing or trial.
California Law and Your Waymo Claim
A driverless crash still requires proof of legal responsibility and the harm it caused. The investigation must establish how the vehicle was operating, what contributed to the collision, and which parties and insurance policies may respond. Without a human driver, the rideshare coverage rules explained on our Uber and Lyft accident pages are not the starting point.
More Than One Party May Be Responsible
Vehicle Data Can Be Critical Evidence
Rider Agreements May Affect the Legal Process
Sharing Fault Does Not Necessarily Bar Recovery
Compensation Should Account for the Full Injury
Deadlines Require Early Attention
