When Tourists are Injured in Car-Pedestrian Accidents
Tourists flock to San Francisco and the entire Bay Area from across the country and around the world to see the sights and enjoy our city's distinctive neighborhoods. What many tourists do not know is that San Francisco has one of the highest pedestrian accident rates in the nation.
Tourists Are Vulnerable to Pedestrian Accidents
Tourists are especially vulnerable to becoming pedestrian accident victims. They may be unfamiliar with our local forms of public transportation and the unique risks they pose. For example, natives know the dangers posed by a light rail system that drops passengers off in the middle of a busy street. Tourists are often injured by walking directly into traffic after getting off a train.
If you were injured on your visit to San Francisco, the Bay Area or elsewhere in Southern California, you have a right to obtain financial compensation from the liable party or its insurance company. To do so, you must file a personal injury claim in California.
