San Francisco is a city that celebrates cycling, but its roads remain dangerous for riders. Steep hills, streetcar tracks, aggressive drivers, and inadequate bike lanes put cyclists at constant risk. When a negligent driver causes a collision, Phoong Law makes sure injured cyclists get the full compensation they are owed.

Move to the sidewalk or curb if possible. Call 911 for police and medical response. San Francisco drivers may not stop, so prioritize your safety first and get the crash officially documented.
Take photos of your bike, the vehicle, street markings, bike lane paint, Muni tracks, and your injuries. Note the exact intersection and whether traffic controls were functioning. This evidence is your foundation.
Head injuries, internal trauma, and spinal damage are common in bicycle crashes and often present delayed symptoms. Visit an ER for a comprehensive evaluation and follow every treatment recommendation.
Do not negotiate with the driver’s insurance yourself. Call 866-GOT-PAIN. We specialize in bicycle injury claims and will protect your rights from the start.
San Francisco has invested billions in cycling infrastructure, but the city still reports hundreds of bicycle injury collisions each year. The Wiggle, Market Street, the Panhandle, Fell and Oak Streets, and the bike lanes along Valencia and 2nd Street remain high-risk corridors. Drivers making right turns across bike lanes, opening doors without checking mirrors, and running red lights at busy intersections account for most cyclist injuries. The SFMTA’s Vision Zero initiative aims to eliminate traffic deaths, but progress has been slow. Phoong Law represents injured cyclists across the city and knows exactly how to prove driver negligence and overcome insurer pushback.
Bicycle accident injuries are often severe because cyclists are completely exposed on impact. California law ensures that negligent drivers bear the full cost of the harm they cause to cyclists.
Emergency room treatment, CT scans, surgery for fractures, concussion protocols, dental reconstruction, and extended physical therapy. Bay Area medical costs are among the highest in the nation.
San Francisco’s cost of living means even a few weeks without income creates serious financial strain. Extended disability and career disruption compound those losses over time.
Chronic pain, fear of riding, loss of fitness, anxiety, and the emotional weight of a traumatic collision. These non-economic damages are real and fully compensable under California law.
Replacement of your bike, helmet, lights, panniers, and cycling electronics at fair market value. High-end road and commuter bikes represent a significant investment.
San Francisco’s unique road features, from Muni tracks to steep descents, create crash scenarios unlike anywhere else. Our attorneys have deep experience with every type of bicycle collision in the city.
Drivers turning right across bike lanes on Valencia, Howard, Folsom, and 2nd Street without checking for cyclists. This is the most common and most preventable bicycle crash type in San Francisco.
The Mission, North Beach, Haight, and Sunset are packed with parked cars. A driver opening a door without looking can launch a cyclist into moving traffic. These crashes cause severe upper-body and head injuries.
Streetcar tracks on Market, the Embarcadero, Judah, and Church Street trap bicycle tires and throw riders to the ground. The city may share liability when tracks are poorly maintained or designed.
Descending Divisadero, Masonic, or Potrero at speed when a driver pulls out from a side street or driveway. Cyclists have limited ability to stop on steep grades, placing full liability on the driver who failed to yield.
California requires three feet of clearance when passing a cyclist. On San Francisco’s narrow residential streets, drivers regularly violate this law, causing sideswipe injuries that send riders into parked cars or curbs.
San Francisco sees a high rate of hit-and-run bicycle collisions. We investigate using Muni cameras, business surveillance, and witness canvassing to identify the responsible driver and pursue every available recovery.
Insurance companies routinely minimize bicycle injury claims. Our attorneys refuse to let that happen. We know the real cost of these injuries and we fight for every dollar San Francisco cyclists are owed.

No. California does not require adult cyclists to wear helmets. Not wearing a helmet does not reduce or eliminate the other driver’s liability for causing the crash.
Yes. If Muni tracks, potholes, missing bike lane markings, or broken traffic signals contributed to your crash, the city may share liability. Government claims have strict six-month filing deadlines, so contact us immediately.
Disputed fault is common in bicycle cases. We gather traffic camera footage, witness statements, and physical evidence to prove what actually happened. Even partial fault does not bar your recovery in California.
Cases involving broken bones, head injuries, or extended recovery commonly result in significant settlements. Bay Area medical costs and lost wages in San Francisco’s economy drive higher case values.
Studies consistently show that represented injury victims recover significantly more than those who negotiate alone. Insurance companies take claims more seriously when an experienced attorney is involved.
