What was supposed to be a festive Fourth of July weekend for a California woman visiting San Francisco took a devastating turn when she was hit by a car while crossing a downtown intersection. The woman, who was walking back to her hotel with a pizza, was in a marked crosswalk when a vehicle failed to yield and struck her, sending her flying into the air and landing in the middle of the street.

The San Francisco Fire Department responded quickly, and she was rushed to San Francisco General Hospital for emergency treatment. Doctors diagnosed her with multiple fractures, including left tibial plateau and fibula fractures, requiring immediate medical attention.

Her injuries cut her vacation short, and she returned home to receive follow-up care and surgery to repair her knee. The accident had a profound impact on her physical and emotional well-being, preventing her from engaging in activities she loved, such as sports and travel.

Initially, the insurance company’s offer was inadequate to cover the extent of her medical bills and future expenses. After intense negotiations, the case ultimately settled for $318,000, which provided more than enough to cover her past and future medical costs and left her with significant compensation for the pain and suffering caused by the accident.
