When you are out and about driving around the city, the last thing you should have to worry about is the negligence or carelessness of another driver causing you harm. However, we know that there may be a time when you need a car accident attorney in San Francisco. At Allegiance Law, we want to make sure you get the compensation you deserve.
Today, we want to discuss a recent crash in the city that has led to an arrest and multiple charges of a suspect.
We know that a recent crash that happened in San Francisco’s Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods has led to injuries and a driver being charged.
Police say that Cherry Neal of San Francisco will face more than 20 counts related to a rampage that led to a police foot chase. They say that she was under the influence of alcohol and driving with a suspended license when she struck two pedestrians and multiple vehicles.
We know that motorists and pedestrians alike need to be vigilant in and around the city. All too often, major accidents occur due to the negligent or careless actions of other drivers. If we turn to the latest year of data available, we can see that there were more than 273,000 total vehicle crash injuries across the state.
While we recognize that most crash injuries are relatively minor, it is not uncommon for us to see the following:
Each of these injuries requires victims to need medical treatment and sometimes extensive rehabilitation in order to make a full recovery. Not only will this lead to major medical bills, but victims often cannot work and earn an income while they recover. The hidden costs of accidents often send families into financial ruin.
For the same year mentioned above, alcohol-impaired drivers were responsible for over 26,000 injuries and 31% of the total traffic crash fatalities.

When a driver is busy sending a text message or watching a video on their phone, they certainly are not watching the roadway.
We know that there is no way to predict the actions of other drivers around you. If you or someone you love has been harmed due to the negligence of another driver, please seek legal assistance. At Allegiance Law, we understand the importance of having a competent lawyer who understands how to handle these situations. Let us get to the bottom of what happened so we can secure the following:
