The Official Injury Attorneys of the San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco Traffic Collision Lawyer
San Francisco sees over 3,000 traffic collisions yearly, with many occurring in high-risk areas like Market Street, Van Ness Avenue, and the busy Financial District. Our narrow streets, dense traffic, and mix of cars, bikes, buses, and cable cars create distinct accident risks. Fog, steep grades, and wet conditions add extra dangers that drivers must handle carefully.
Dealing with the aftermath of a traffic collision can be challenging, especially in the midst of recovering from injuries and dealing with insurance companies. At Venardi Zurada LLP, we are dedicated to representing victims of traffic collisions throughout San Francisco. If you have been injured in a collision caused by another’s carelessness, contact our experienced San Francisco traffic collision lawyers, who are here to provide the legal guidance you need.
Why Legal Representation Matters
After a traffic collision, the actions you take in the days and weeks that follow are critical to protecting your rights. Many people are unaware that insurance companies often look out for their best interests, not the victims’. Adjusters may offer a settlement that seems fair but falls far short of covering the true costs of the accident. Having a skilled San Francisco traffic collision attorney by your side can make a significant difference. Our firm will thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding your case, collect and preserve evidence, and handle all communication with insurance companies so you can focus on your recovery.
Common Causes of San Francisco Traffic Collisions
Traffic collisions in San Francisco can happen for various reasons, many of which involve driver negligence. Some of the most common causes include:
- Distracted driving: Texting, talking on the phone, and other distractions are frequent factors in traffic collisions.
- Speeding and reckless driving: Excessive speed reduces reaction time, often leading to severe accidents.
- Driving under the influence: Unfortunately, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs remains a significant cause of traffic collisions.
Each of these factors not only increases the risk of a collision but also makes the legal issues more complex. With Venardi Zurada LLP experience and focus on San Francisco traffic law, we can effectively address these complexities.
Common Types of Traffic Collisions We Handle
Some of the common cases we handle include:
- Rear-end crashes: These frequent accidents often happen at San Francisco’s many traffic lights and stop signs. While some seem minor, they can cause serious neck and back injuries that require long-term medical care.
- Intersection accidents: With hundreds of complex intersections across the city, collisions often occur when drivers fail to yield or run red lights. These crashes frequently result in severe side-impact damage and injuries.
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents: San Francisco’s active walking and cycling culture means these vulnerable road users face daily risks. We help injured pedestrians and cyclists get compensation for medical bills, lost work time, and pain suffered.
