San Francisco Pedestrian Accidents and Personal Injury Claims
California law requires drivers to maintain control of their vehicles at all times and exercise an extra duty of care toward pedestrians, particularly on busy sidewalks and pedestrian-heavy areas. When a driver loses control and strikes a fixed object, injuring nearby pedestrians, that driver may bear liability for the resulting injuries.
The pedestrians injured in this collision may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim. A personal injury claim can provide compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the accident.
