I often deal with fatal accidents as a pedestrian accident attorney, but this loss is especially disheartening. Fridaya week ago, at approximately 7:40am, the Milpitas Police Department responded to a traffic accident involving a vehicle and two pedestrians, near the St. John the Baptist Catholic Ch
On average, three pedestrians are struck by vehicles every day in San Francisco, and as a pedestrian accident attorney, that statistic just is not acceptable. The City is crowded, very crowded, and is going to get more crowded according to City planners. Sometimes our crosswalks…
Vehicular accidents aren’t just limited to our roads and streets. As an automobile and vehicular accident attorney, I see many cases involving so called “off highway” or “off road” vehicles such as 4x4s and All-Terrain-Vehicles (ATVs). These accidents can be incredibly harmful, and even fatal, to th
Many people think that the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the FDA, or other governmental agencies will protect our families from dangerous and defective products and drugs. The truth is that these agencies, although large, are underfunded and not as effective as we would hope they…
San Francisco – City officials are looking into whether they can act on their own, without state legislation, to reduce San Francisco tour bus accidents. One step the City is considering, and one I wholeheartedly support, is the limitation of tour bus operators in their playing tour guide at…

As you’re now likely aware, we’re into the Winter months of Daylight Savings Time (and if you weren’t aware, you’ve likely missed a meeting or two by now). But just because it’s darker earlier doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy your afternoon run. But Please be careful! With darker…
I’ve been saying it for years, it’s just not safe to have drivers pulling double duty. Across the City, professional bus drivers are not only navigating the dangerous streets of San Francisco, but also narrating the journey and pointing out the sights as they go. This distracting practice is not onl
What is going on with buses and pedestrians here in San Francisco? Today, a 51 year old woman was jogging in San Francisco early this morning when she was struck and killed by a Golden Gate Transit bus traveling through a busy intersection. This most recent San Francisco pedestrian fatality happened
Are your supplements really helping? If you’re taking other medication, you may want to be careful, because supplements are medicine and are likely to have an effect on your body. Read the warnings on the supplement label carefully and consult with your physician about a supplement’s potential…
