Rideshare accident attorneys in San Francisco, California

Fifty-two years at the California bar and the only one of these twelve whose record carries the State Bar's optional self-reported block — practice areas, languages and law school. The others left it empty. His firm's page is the third on this site to cover Waymo, and the first to name the software partners and parts manufacturers as separate defendants.

Admitted the same day as Scott Righthand — 29 November 1979 — one of two same-day pairs among these twelve. His firm's rideshare page is the oldest-feeling in the batch: it still names Sidecar as a current competitor and describes the employee-status question as currently being litigated, which California settled by ballot in 2020.

Admitted the same day as Timothy Hamilton. His register email and his website are on two different domains — righthandlaw.net and righthandfirm.com. His firm's rideshare page is the only one in this batch to raise assault claims in the lawyer's own voice, and to say plainly that a passenger may not be driving because they are impaired.

Read this listing narrowly. His published representative matters are employment class actions — wage and hour, discrimination, stock options — including a 2023 California Supreme Court decision he names. Personal injury appears in his firm's practice list and in one line of his own summary. The rideshare page is the firm's and names no lawyer.

Registered in San Jose, about fifty miles south — the furthest address of record on this page, and the one call in this batch worth arguing about. Two details on his record are worth seeing: the email of record is a hotmail address, and the website field reads habblaslaw.com, which is not his firm's domain.

A former occupational safety consultant who worked on wind tunnels for NASA and as a semiconductor safety engineer before law school. His published practice is construction accidents, not rideshare — he says he followed his father into it and has stayed there. Admitted the same day as Omar Habbas.

Five years in the United States Coast Guard before law — search and rescue and marine law enforcement aboard the cutter later made famous by The Perfect Storm. His register website field points at a different domain from his email: vefirm.com against vzlawfirm.com. He spent his first decade defending corporations before switching sides in 2004.

His firm publishes the only rideshare page on this site whose argument is that the numbers cannot be trusted. It names the CPUC, SFMTA, DataSF, SWITRS and UC Berkeley's TIMS, explains what each can and cannot show, and states outright that no publicly available count of Uber and Lyft crashes specific to San Francisco exists. He founded the firm after acting as his own lawyer in his own bicycle crash.

Registered at the same address and suite as John J. Roach — 1388 Sutter Street, Suite 810 — two separate solo firms sharing one San Francisco office. His register phone and the number his site advertises are different. His page cites an SFCTA pickup figure we do not reprint.

His firm makes the most specific legal claim in this batch: that it obtained a California Court of Appeal ruling establishing that rideshare drivers owe a duty of care when offloading passengers, and that it handled the first wrongful death case against Lyft in California. The second claim is also made by another firm on this page.

Registered at the same suite as Wesley Wakeford. His page is the only one in this batch written around a change in the law that took effect this year — SB 371, which he says cut the uninsured-motorist cover rideshare companies must carry from $1 million to $60,000 per person on 1 January 2026. He publishes in both English and Spanish.

His register entry carries no email, no fax and no website — all three read Not Available. The firm's rideshare page opens by asserting that rideshare SUV crashes claim thousands of California victims yearly and attributes a specific crash-rate multiplier to the NHTSA, with nothing to click. We do not reprint any of it.
