Direct answer
Does Wingman Law serve San Francisco?
Wingman Law is based in San Francisco and represents injured people in matters involving vehicle, pedestrian, bicycle, rideshare, and other preventable accidents. We combine attorney judgment with organized evidence and data-informed claim analysis, while keeping the client—not a software system—in control of important decisions.
Local context
A dense city creates a complicated evidence trail
A San Francisco collision can involve city streets, state highways, transit property, commercial vehicles, rideshare platforms, pedestrians, and cyclists within a few blocks. The first practical question is often not simply where the crash happened, but which agency investigated it and which organizations may hold useful records.
San Francisco's Vision Zero program combines transportation and public-health information to understand severe injuries and fatalities. That same evidence-first mindset matters to an individual claim: preserve the report number, scene media, witness information, medical records, insurance communications, and details identifying every involved vehicle or public entity.
Claim preparation
What a careful review should focus on
Every matter is different. These are the evidence questions we would expect to examine—not promises about liability, value, or outcome.
01
Identify every evidence holder
City agencies, transit operators, private businesses, vehicle owners, insurers, and platform companies may hold different pieces of the record.
02
Document human impact
Medical findings, symptoms, treatment, missed work, and changes to everyday activities should be organized alongside collision evidence.
03
Test the insurer's narrative
A claim review should compare the carrier's liability and valuation positions against the actual records, policy information, and documented losses.
04
Protect time-sensitive issues
Potential public-entity involvement, disappearing video, and legal deadlines make early issue spotting especially important.
Records roadmap
Finding a San Francisco collision report
The San Francisco Police Department's report portal covers traffic collisions and hit-and-runs investigated by SFPD. SFPD also directs incidents on BART property to BART Police. If CHP investigated a freeway collision, eligible parties can request the report through CHP's crash-report system.
Start with the agency name and report or incident number shown on any exchange card or paperwork. If the agency is unclear, the precise location and responding officer information can help identify the correct records office.
Deadline warning
Do not assume every claim has the same deadline
California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1 generally sets a two-year period for specified injury or death actions caused by another's wrongful act or neglect. But exceptions and different deadlines can apply. For specified claims involving a public entity, California Government Code § 911.2 generally requires claim presentation within six months. Deadline calculations are fact-specific; obtain legal advice about your own circumstances promptly.

San Francisco personal injury FAQ
General information only. An answer for a particular claim depends on its facts, parties, policies, and deadlines.
Is Wingman Law located in San Francisco?
Yes. Wingman Law is based in San Francisco, California, and serves personal injury clients throughout California.
Where do I request a San Francisco traffic collision report?
Request the report from the agency that investigated. SFPD provides an online incident-report portal for SFPD traffic collisions; CHP has a separate system for crashes it investigated. Incidents on transit property may involve another agency.
What information should I save after a San Francisco accident?
Keep the report number, photographs and video, witness contacts, insurance and vehicle information, medical paperwork, receipts, wage-loss records, and every written offer or statement from an insurer.
How soon should I ask for a case review?
As soon as reasonably practical. Evidence can disappear and legal deadlines vary. Claims involving a city, transit agency, or other public entity can raise much earlier claim-presentation requirements.
