Attorney Scott Righthand is a San Francisco personal injury lawyer who has successfully recovered substantial judgments and settlements for persons injured by defective products, medical malpractice, care home neglect, and car accidents.

If you have been injured by the intentional or negligent conduct of another, Attorney Righthand can help you recover compensatory damages for your injuries.  This includes payment for your medical expenses, future medical care, physical therapy, as well as any wages you have lost. This compensation seeks to restore you to the position you were in before the injury, if possible.

In some cases, you may be able to recover punitive damages if the wrongdoer engaged in particularly egregious behavior. These punitive awards are not intended to compensate you, but to punish the wrongdoer and deter him or her from future misconduct.
