Why Richmond District Clients Trust John J. Roach

When you call John, you get him directly — the same attorney who will fight for every dollar you deserve, whether your case settles or goes to trial.
High-Risk Corridors & Crash Patterns in the Richmond District
The Richmond District lies squarely on San Francisco’s Vision Zero High Injury Network. Its wide boulevards, heavy east-west traffic flow, frequent fog, and mix of residential, commercial, and park-adjacent streets create predictable danger zones.
Key high-risk locations we handle regularly for Richmond clients include:
- Geary Boulevard corridor (especially between 2nd Avenue and Park Presidio Boulevard) — the neighborhood’s main artery
- Arguello Boulevard (a documented High Injury Network segment with frequent pedestrian and cyclist crashes)
- Clement Street commercial strip — heavy pedestrian and delivery traffic
- California Street and Balboa Street intersections
- Park Presidio Boulevard and entrances to the Presidio and Golden Gate Park
- 6th Avenue, 10th Avenue, and Lake Street corridors
Common crash types in the Richmond District:
- High-speed rear-end and sideswipe collisions on Geary Boulevard during commute hours
- Pedestrian strikes at busy commercial crossings on Clement Street and Geary
- Bicycle vs. vehicle accidents near park entrances and along Arguello Boulevard
- Uber/Lyft and rideshare incidents in dense residential zones
- Fog-related T-bone and left-turn crashes at major intersections
- Motorcycle accidents on wide, fast-moving boulevards
Our thorough knowledge of SFMTA crash data and local traffic patterns gives every Richmond client a strong edge when pursuing full compensation.
