The Pedestrian Bill of Rights: Important Laws To Help Keep Pedestrians Safe

The Dolan Law Firm annually sponsors Bike to Work Day in the San Francisco Bay Area. As part of Bike to Work Day 2017, we published in the Examiner a “Bicyclists Bill of Rights.”    This document is posted on our website at dolanlawfirm.com/bicyclist-rights

In response, Bryan from San Francisco writes, “Do you have a Pedestrian Bill of Rights?  I appreciate your efforts on making streets safer for bicyclists but what about pedestrians.  I am disabled and walk with a walker. I was walking on Bayshore and barely missed by a bicycle riding quickly on the sidewalk.  He came up from behind me on the sidewalk when there is a bike lane right there.  Bicyclists need to obey the laws if they expect drivers to obey the laws.”

What Is The Law In California To Take Time Off Work To Care For A Family Member?

Adam from Mission Bay writes, “Chris, my husband Jeff was hit by a car while crossing the street near our condo. Jeff was in the crosswalk and suffered a fractured leg and a concussion. I did not have any PTO at work. I took off a week anyways to care for Jeff after he was released from the hospital.

My manager was upset with me for not reporting to work. He said he couldn’t get coverage for my shifts and fired me the day I returned to the job. I had emailed my manager that I would not be coming into work to care for Jeff. It’s a big company of about 100 people throughout the Bay Area, with about 50 in my division in San Francisco.  I have worked for them for two years and never called in sick.  Didn’t I have the right to take time off?”
