Automobile Accidents

San Francisco has its share of automobile accidents. Auto accidents are the leading cause of death and injury in the United States. According to National Highway Traffic safety Administration statistics, there were nearly 6,024,248 car accidents in the United States in 2007. These car accidents caused 2,491,000 injuries and 41,059 fatalities. About 115 people die every day in vehicle crashes in the United States -- one death every 13 minutes.

Those are startling numbers when you consider how many hours we spend driving. Victims of car accidents that are the result of another driver’s negligence or reckless behavior may be entitled to compensation.

April this year I was in a car accident and after reading all the great reviews I decided to go with O'Connor, Runckel & O'Malley to help me with me case. I called the office and set up a meting with Jason Runckel. At our first meeting Jason was very professional, showed genuine concern about my situation and my health. Throughout the duration of the case, Jason as well as his wonderful assistant Jennifer, kept me up to date with everything that was happening which gave me confidence in the job that they were doing for me.
