San Francisco's unique urban landscape creates specific risks for residents and visitors alike. Understanding the common causes of personal injuries can help you stay safe and know when you might need legal assistance.

With its dense population and heavy traffic, San Francisco experiences numerous vehicle accidents daily. Common causes include:

• Distracted driving (particularly texting while driving)
• Failure to yield right-of-way
• Dangerous lane changes
• Speeding through intersections
• Driving under the influence
• Poor visibility due to San Francisco's famous fog

The city's steep hills and narrow streets create additional hazards unique to San Francisco drivers.

San Francisco is known for being a walkable and bike-friendly city, but this also means increased risk for pedestrians and cyclists:

• Crosswalk accidents
• Dooring incidents (when car doors open into bike lanes)
• Accidents at poorly designed intersections
• Collisions with ride-share vehicles
• Scooter-related incidents

Property owners in San Francisco have a responsibility to maintain safe premises:

• Wet floors in businesses
• Uneven sidewalks
• Poor lighting in stairwells
• Missing handrails
• Trip hazards in public spaces
• Construction site hazards

With BART, Muni, cable cars, and buses, public transportation accidents are another common source of injuries:

• Bus collision injuries
• BART platform incidents
• Cable car accidents
• Ferry-related injuries
• Ride-share service accidents

Personal injuries can range from relatively minor to catastrophic. Understanding the various types of injuries can help you recognize the potential long-term impacts and necessary compensation.

Brain injuries can result from even seemingly minor accidents and may cause lasting cognitive, emotional, and physical effects.

Broken bones, joint injuries, and soft tissue damage are common in falls and vehicle accidents.

Burns from fires, chemicals, or electrical sources can cause permanent scarring and disability.

PTSD, anxiety, and depression often accompany physical injuries and deserve equal consideration in personal injury claims.

The personal injury claims process in San Francisco can be complex and overwhelming, especially when you're already dealing with recovery. Here's why working with Moseley Collins Law makes a difference:

California's personal injury laws have specific statutes of limitations and comparative negligence rules that can significantly impact your case.

Many injury victims underestimate the full value of their claim, including future medical costs and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.

We work with medical experts, accident reconstructionists, and economic analysts to build compelling cases.

When you work with us, you can focus on healing while we handle the legal complexities.

If you've been injured, getting prompt medical care is essential. San Francisco is home to several excellent medical facilities:

• UCSF Medical Center - Consistently ranked among the nation's top hospitals
• Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital - The city's only Level 1 Trauma Center
• California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) - Multiple campuses throughout the city
• Saint Francis Memorial Hospital
• St. Mary's Medical Center

Understanding the scope of personal injuries can help put your situation in perspective:

According to the National Safety Council, approximately 55.4 million injury-related medical consultations occur annually nationwide, with a significant portion resulting from preventable accidents.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that falls are the leading cause of non-fatal injuries treated in emergency departments, with many occurring on poorly maintained properties.

Studies show that personal injury victims who work with legal representation typically receive settlements nearly three times higher than those who handle claims themselves.
