San Francisco Personal Injury Lawyer
California allows victims of preventable accidents to seek financial compensation from those at fault. Unfortunately, compensation is never guaranteed or automatically awarded – especially when defendants and insurance carriers do all they can to pay as little as possible.

Our personal injury attorneys have represented thousands of clients across San Francisco and the state of California – and have recovered millions on their behalves.

Seeking Justice After
Preventable Accidents
In California, victims who suffer harm due to negligence or wrongful acts have the right to take legal action (such as a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit) against those at fault. Depending on the circumstances, this “at-fault” party may vary. Examples include:
- A negligent driver who violates their duty to safely operate their vehicle and causes a preventable car accident.
- A negligent property owner who fails (or whose employees fail) to address a long-standing spill that later results in a slip and fall accident.
- A commercial trucking company that employs a negligent driver who causes a truck accident, and/or failed to ensure compliance with trucking regulations.
- A negligent third-party contractor whose workers cause an accident on a construction site, injuring the employees of another company.
At Drake Law Firm, our legal team has represented victims who suffered injuries in many different types of accidents, and as the result of negligence by many different types of people and companies.
Because we have extensive experience fighting for the injured, we’re able to take on all types of cases, including:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Train accidents and motorcycle accidents
- Bicycle accidents and pedestrian accidents
- Rideshare accidents and bus accidents
- Animal attacks / dog bites
- Premises liability
- Product liability
- Catastrophic injuries or wrongful death
Elements of a Personal Injury Claim
Whatever your case may entail, your ability to recover compensation will be hinged on proving a few important elements of a civil claim (or “tort”). For personal injury cases, this means proving:
- The existence of a legal duty between you and the defendant (i.e. a landowner’s duty to keep property in a reasonably safe condition);
- A breach of duty, in other words, the defendant’s failure to meet the duty of care (i.e. a landowner failing to clean up a spill they knew or should have known about);
- Causation, which means proving that the defendant’s negligence more likely than not caused your accident / injuries; and
- Damages, or evidence that a defendant’s negligence resulted in actual damages.
When successful, personal injury and wrongful death claims can allow victims to recover monetary compensation for their resulting financial and emotional damages, such as:
- Lost income / lost future earnings
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional and psychological suffering
- Medical bills / future medical expenses
- Rehabilitation and therapy
- Permanent impairment or disability
- Lost consortium / lost emotional support
- Burial and funeral expenses
- Property damage
