Should You File A San Francisco Auto Accident Lawsuit

The short answer is that you should file a San Francisco auto accident injury claim with our firm if you’ve suffered an injury caused by a car accident. Even if you’re unsure whether you have a case, contact us for a consultation regardless. You may have a case and not realize it yet.

That said, there are a few factors that contribute to the most successful San Francisco car accident lawsuits, including:

Negligent actions caused the accident in question.

Your accident involved one or more injuries.

The accident involved one or more fatalities.

Your car accident involved a public entity (examples of public entities found later in this article).

Upon recovery from the accident, you could not perform your job or return to your place of employment.

Negligent Actions And How They Apply To Your San Francisco Car Accident Injury Case

Negligent actions are the cornerstone of San Francisco auto accident lawsuits. While the term “negligent actions” is a little bit of legal jargon, all it means is that any action performed by either party failed, in some way, to meet standards established by law or common practice.

So, to clear things up a little more, here are a few examples of common negligent actions in court:

Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Disobeying posted traffic signs, rules, or laws.

Running a red light or stop sign.

Reckless driving.

How Do Our San Francisco Car Accident Attorneys Prove Your Case In Court?

As we briefly touched on above, negligent actions are the cornerstone of car accident law. Yet, that begs the question: how do our San Francisco car accident attorneys prove negligent actions in the courtroom? In short, our attorneys must prove the following four things (in order) in court to win your San Francisco car accident injury claim:

1 – The defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care. For more information on what constitutes a duty of care in court, follow this link.

2 – The defendant breached (or failed) the established duty of care.

3 – The defendant’s breach of care caused the accident, injury, or fatality in question.

4 – The accident caused damages, injuries, or fatalities that the court deems eligible for compensation. Examples include medical bills, lost wages, etc.

What’s The Statute Of Limitations For Filing Your San Francisco Car Accident Injury Claim?

As with most California laws, there is a statute of limitations for filing your San Francisco car accident injury claim. That statute of limitations is two years after the date of the accident. However, a secondary statute of limitations only applies if your accident involved a public entity or vehicle. The statute of limitations for filing your claim against a public entity is shortened to six months after the date of the accident. Examples of public entities include:

City and school buses

State and local government vehicles and entities

Public trains

Hospitals and publicly owned ambulances

Any entity or vehicle of other departments of the government (like a park ranger’s truck, for example)

Best Lawyer I’ve Had Yet.

 5/5

John is awesome! He and his team are very personable, understanding, and professional. Every question I had was answered patiently and quickly.

I was involved in an accident where I was injured and sent to many months of therapy. Even though we had to wait a couple months til the therapy over, I was never abandoned or felt abandoned because he was checking in every step of the way to make sure things were going ok- either with a quick phone call or email.

Also, John kept me informed in every step of the decision making. I knew what was happening at every point. Even if there were things I didn’t understand he would patiently and politely explain them to me. If I didn’t know how to proceed, he would give me a couple options and explain those as well.

I also have to note that John has a team of great individuals that took care of the paperwork and other tasks efficiently.

I am eternally grateful for John Roussas. He did a wonderful job on my case. He saved me a lot of stress in the way that he handle my case. I really can’t thank him enough.
