San Francisco Pro Bono Injury Lawyer

San Francisco Pro Bono Injury Lawyer

Helping Injured People Get Justice — Even If You Can’t Afford a Lawyer

At Anderson Franco Law, we believe every injured person deserves justice — not just those who can afford to pay a lawyer. As a San Francisco pro bono injury lawyer, Anderson Franco and his team help people who were hurt in accidents and are struggling financially. Whether you were injured in a car crash, at work, or on unsafe property, our mission is simple: to make the legal system accessible to everyone.

We proudly offer free consultations and select pro bono representation for qualifying clients throughout the Bay Area. If you were hurt and are unsure how to afford a lawyer, keep reading — this page explains everything you need to know.


What Does “Pro Bono” Mean in a Personal Injury Case?

The term “pro bono” means an attorney provides legal services for free or at a reduced cost to individuals who cannot afford them. In personal injury cases, pro bono representation often helps victims who:

  • Lost income because of their injuries
  • Cannot afford a retainer or hourly fees
  • Were denied legal help elsewhere
  • Face serious hardship and need justice

At Anderson Franco Law, we review every potential case to see if it qualifies for contingency or pro bono representation. Our goal is to never let financial barriers prevent someone from holding negligent parties accountable.


Attorney Anderson Franco was raised in the Bay Area and built his law firm on one belief: the justice system should serve everyone equally. Many injured people feel lost after an accident — unsure of their rights or how to get help. Some think that if they can’t pay a lawyer, they have no options. That’s simply not true.

We believe everyone deserves to:

  • Understand their legal rights
  • Receive fair treatment from insurance companies
  • Be compensated for their injuries, pain, and losses

That’s why we dedicate part of our caseload to pro bono and reduced-fee cases every year.


Types of Cases We Handle Pro Bono in San Francisco

Our firm focuses exclusively on personal injury law — meaning we help people hurt because of someone else’s negligence. Depending on your situation, you may qualify for free legal help in one of these case types:

1. Car Accidents

If another driver caused a crash and you were injured, we can help you file a claim, even if you can’t afford legal fees upfront. We handle car, Uber, Lyft, and pedestrian accidents throughout San Francisco.

2. Slip and Fall or Premises Liability

Falls in grocery stores, apartment complexes, or public spaces can cause serious injuries. If property owners failed to maintain safe conditions, we’ll fight for your rights — sometimes at no cost to you.

3. Workplace Injuries

If you were hurt at work but are not getting the help you deserve from your employer or workers’ comp, our pro bono work injury lawyers can evaluate your case.

4. Bicycle and Scooter Accidents

San Francisco’s streets can be dangerous for cyclists. We take on select cases for injured riders who cannot afford legal help, especially those hit by careless drivers.

5. Catastrophic Injuries

For clients who have suffered life-changing injuries — such as amputations, brain injuries, or spinal trauma — we consider pro bono representation if financial hardship is severe.


How We Decide Whether a Case Qualifies for Pro Bono Representation

Every case is unique. During your free consultation, our team will review your situation, including:

  • The details of your accident
  • The potential for recovery through insurance or a lawsuit
  • Your current financial circumstances

If your case qualifies, we may take it completely pro bono (no fees charged) or on a contingency basis (you pay nothing unless we win). Either way, you’ll never pay out-of-pocket to get started.


Even If You Don’t Qualify for Pro Bono — We Can Still Help

Most personal injury cases at Anderson Franco Law are handled on a contingency fee basis, which means:

No upfront fees
No hourly billing
We only get paid if we win your case

So even if your case doesn’t qualify as pro bono, you still won’t have to worry about paying anything unless we recover money for you. This ensures that every injured person can afford representation.

Access to Justice Shouldn’t Depend on Money

Whether through pro bono work or contingency-based representation, we make sure your voice is heard and your rights are protected.
