What to do after an injury in San Francisco
Small steps early on can protect your claim later.
- Get medical care. Follow your provider’s advice and keep every record and bill.
- Report the incident. For a collision, ask for the report number. For a fall or other injury on property, tell the owner or manager and ask for a written record.
- Document the scene. Take photos of vehicles, hazards, injuries, and street signs. Save names and contact details for witnesses.
- Be careful with insurers. Do not sign a release or accept a payment until you understand what rights you are giving up.
- Keep a simple log. Note symptoms, missed work, and out-of-pocket costs.

California rules that can affect your claim
- Filing deadlines. Many California injury claims must be filed within a set time. For many cases that period is two years under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, and some claims can have shorter deadlines.
- Shared fault. California uses comparative fault. Being partly at fault does not always end a claim, but it can reduce what you may recover.
- Insurance and medical bills. Health insurers and medical providers may seek repayment from a recovery. Ask how those claims could affect what you receive.

What should I do first after an injury in San Francisco?
Get medical care, report the incident, and keep photos, names, and records. Avoid signing anything from an insurance company until you understand what it covers.
Is there a deadline to file a personal injury claim in California?
Many California injury claims have a filing deadline, and for many cases it is two years under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. Some claims, including claims against public entities, can have shorter deadlines. Ask a lawyer to check the deadline for your facts.
Can I still make a claim if I was partly at fault?
California uses comparative fault, so a person who shares some blame may still be able to seek compensation, which can be reduced by their share of fault. An attorney can explain how that rule may apply to your case.
Which court may hear a personal injury case from this area?
Many injury cases connected to this area are heard in San Francisco Superior Court, depending on where the events occurred and the parties involved. Venue and filing rules can turn on the facts. An attorney can help you identify the right court and deadline for your situation.
