Understanding Accident Litigation in San Francisco

Are you suffering from an injury due to an accident caused by another party’s carelessness or recklessness? Often, innocent accident victims suffer severe physical, emotional, and financial injuries due to someone else’s negligence or willful misconduct. Under San Francisco accident law, you have a right to seek compensation for your injuries from the negligent person or business whose careless actions caused your accident.

Proving personal injury accidents

The San Francisco accident lawyers at Albert G. Stoll, A Law Corporation, are experienced in interpreting accident law and pursuing accident litigation in San Francisco involving:

• Motor vehicle accidents: Accidents involving cars, motorcycles, and trucks are investigated to determine fault based on traffic rules and which party’s negligence contributed most to the accident or injuries. Your own carelessness—for example, texting while driving—may contribute to the accident or injuries and can reduce the amount of recovery.

• Slip and falls: Property owners are responsible for maintaining their properties and for preventing known unsafe conditions on their properties. If you fall on someone else’s property, you will need to prove the owner was not maintaining the property or should have known about and removed the hazard that caused your accident.

• Defective products: Accidents involving defective products are complicated in that the victim must prove that the accident was caused by a defect in the product’s design or manufacture.

• Medical malpractice: Accidents caused by misdiagnosis of illness, surgical errors, or birth injuries require proof of a doctor’s act of negligence or omission. This can be very complicated and extremely difficult to prove.

Types of damages

If you are involved in a San Francisco accident like one of those above, or any other type of accident caused by negligence or recklessness of another party, you may be able to collect for medical bills, loss of income, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.

It can be difficult to place a value on some of these damages, but our qualified accident lawyers will work with you to measure the extent of your damages and represent your interests in the negotiation of settlements and damages.
