Pedestrian Struck by Light Rail Vehicle -- $2,000,000 Settlement

We obtained a cash and annuity settlement in the amount of $2,000,000 on behalf of 16-year-old girl who was struck by a San Francisco Municipal Railway LRV near Stonestown, on 19th Avenue, suffering amputation of her left lower leg below the knee. The child was crossing the street with the green light at the same time a southbound LRV "M-Line" train was passing through the intersection. Our lawyers demonstrated that the timing sequence of the various signal lights governing the direction of the train, and the pedestrian walkway, gave both parties the green light at the same time, creating a recipe for disaster. The City claimed that the child was partially at fault for failing to see and appreciate the oncoming train. The case was resolved after two sessions of mediation with a retired Justice of the First District Court of Appeal.
