Holding Negligent Drivers Accountable
Auto accident victims face medical bills, lost wages, and potentially life-long medical conditions as a result of their injuries. As San Francisco auto accident attorneys at The Cartwright Law Firm, Inc., we've seen how head trauma, spinal cord injuries, and bone fractures can impact a person's quality of life.

We’re San Francisco personal injury lawyers who won't stop until we've uncovered the facts that caused your car wreck injuries and consulted with medical experts who can explain to jurors the scope of your situation.
Protecting your Rights
The extent of a person's injuries is not always obvious shortly after an accident. Don’t agree to a settlement before you talk to a lawyer or medical doctor. Avoid discussions with insurance claims adjusters who will urge you to agree to a settlement. Remember, anything you sign may prevent you from recovering further damages at a later date. To protect your rights, it's important to take the following steps immediately after your accident:
- Consult with a San Francisco car accident lawyer
- Don't provide insurers with a written or recorded statement
- Don't release your medical records to an insurance company
- Take photographs of your injuries and the damage done to your car
- Keep copies of any drawings or diagrams given to you by your doctor
