New Personal Insurance Coverage Suited To City Residents

Recently I was approached by a prospective client, who, while walking along a busy San Francisco Street, was hit by a car in the crosswalk. She was thrown to the ground and sustained a fracture to her wrist and tailbone. The car took off and there was/is no way to identify it or the driver. She wanted to know if there was any way she could bring a legal action to recover the costs of her medical bills, which were in the thousands of dollars. She did not have health insurance, she did not own a car, nor was she on any applicable policy of insurance held by a family member which would have given her coverage.

Rail And Pedestrian Safety Remain Ongoing Concern In SF Bay Area

train-kills

I wish to pause from answering reader questions this week to highlight that the California Legislature has proclaimed September as both “Rail Safety Month” and “Pedestrian Safety Month.”

Let’s start with the topic of rail safety. Unfortunately, California leads the nation in annual rail fatalities.  Part of the reason why there are so many fatalities is the known fact that it is extremely difficult to judge the speed of an approaching train.  A Caltrain commuter train can reach a top speed of 79 miles per hour.  A locomotive with five passenger cars can take a quarter-mile or more for the train to make a full stop.  The average freight train takes a mile or more to stop.

What Is California Law On Driving And Texting Or Using Apps?

California Law on Texting and Driving Summarized

Ashley from Rockridge asks:  “Chris, last week I used the casual car pool to commute into the City.  While moving slowly through the Bay Bridge maze, the driver took out his smartphone and typed in an address on a map application to get directions to a business. He then called the business holding the phone to his ear. I voiced my concern over his lack of attention to other cars in the maze.  He didn’t take kindly to me expressing an opinion on the safety of his driving and claimed the law only prohibits texting while driving.  Is that right?”
