Why Hire Meirowitz & Wasserberg as Your Personal Injury Lawyers in San Francisco?
The at-fault party’s insurance company is likely responsible for covering your damages. However, insurance companies often try to minimize victims’ compensation to protect their bottom line.

Hear It From Our Clients
it was such a great and easy experience to work with the lawyers at meirowitz and wasserberg! they were super helpful and made the process very easy for myself after experiencing a car accident. i have recommended my friends and my family to them as they are kind people that will get the job done right!
I have known the team at Meirowitz & Wasserberg for a few years now. Sam, Dan, and Kush created a welcoming and inviting team when dealing with my case. I felt very comfortable and heard by these individuals and have loved to see their growth and success. It is not often that people express warm feelings towards legal council; however, this team cares so deeply for their clientele that you can't help but feel an almost sense of familiar security when working with them. I give these five stars because they have earned them by not only being the great firm that they are, but because they do not view you as just a case but as a person needing their expertise.

Understanding California Personal Injury Laws
Several laws may come into play when you file a California personal injury claim. Our attorneys can explain how these laws may affect your specific case in a free consultation. Here’s an overview of key legal concepts:
- The California statute of limitations: In most cases, you must file a personal injury claim within two years of the date of injury. You may lose your right to seek compensation if you miss this deadline.
- Comparative negligence: You may file a personal injury claim in California even if you’re partially at fault for the accident. Your percentage of fault will affect your total compensation amount.
- Damages caps: California limits the amount of non-economic damages a medical malpractice victim can receive. The state’s 2025 non-economic damage caps in medical malpractice cases are $430,000 for non-fatal injuries and $600,000 for wrongful death.
Steps To Take After an Injury in San Francisco
Your actions after an injury can affect your case’s strength. Do the following for the best odds of recovering maximum compensation:
- Gather evidence: Collect as much evidence as possible at the scene of the injury. Take photos of the surroundings, your visible injuries, and any relevant objects. Write down witness information if anyone saw what happened.
- Hold on to your medical records: Get medical attention even if you don’t feel injured, and follow up with your doctor as needed. Save all medical records related to the injury, such as bills, imaging scans, and prescription receipts.
- Be careful what you say: The insurance company may use anything you say against you, so avoid making statements without legal advice. You have the right to decline to give a statement without your attorney present. If the insurance company makes a settlement offer, consult with your lawyer first to avoid settling for less than you deserve.
- Document changes to your quality of life: Track any physical pain or emotional distress you’ve experienced after the injury. Be as detailed as possible. This documentation can be strong evidence for your non-economic damages.
- Contact a San Francisco personal injury lawyer: Our injury law firm in San Francisco will ensure you know your legal rights and explain your next steps.
