What to Do After an Accident in South San Francisco

If you’ve been involved in an accident in South San Francisco, take these important steps to protect your health and your legal rights:

First, seek immediate medical attention, even if you feel fine — many serious injuries don’t show symptoms right away. Call 911 if anyone is hurt. Document everything: take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, your injuries, and any road conditions that may have contributed. Get contact and insurance information from all parties involved, and collect names and numbers of any witnesses.

Important: Under California law (Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1), you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. If your claim involves a government entity (such as a city bus or a dangerous road maintained by the county), you must file a government tort claim within six months under Government Code § 911.2. Don’t wait — contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve your rights.
