Steps to Take After an Injury in San Francisco
Even if the police report makes you sound responsible, don’t assume you're out of options. California’s pure comparative negligence laws allow you to recover damages even if you were partially at fault.
See a Doctor and Follow Up
Medical records are critical to proving your claim. Delaying treatment could hurt both your health and your case.
Avoid Talking to Insurance Companies
They are not on your side. Refer all calls to your attorney. Even “friendly” calls can be used against you.
Preserve Evidence
Save photos, witness info, medical documents, and anything else related to your injury or the scene.
Stay Off Social Media
Anything you post could be taken out of context. Let our lawyers do the talking while you focus on your recovery.
