Legal Recourse after a San Francisco Pedestrian Accident

As the victim of a pedestrian accident in San Francisco, you have the right to file a personal injury claim against whatever person caused your injuries. In a case such as this, it may be a driver who was speeding and ran through a red light or failed to exercise proper caution while on the road. The driver may have been distracted and may have therefore not seen the pedestrian or may have been drunk and therefore had impaired abilities. Whatever the circumstances, you will need to prove that the responsible party caused the accident in order to win your case. To accomplish this, your lawyer may work with expert witnesses in accident reconstruction, forensics and medicine.
