Both of these earthquakes occurred due to movement on a transform fault. In the San Francisco earthquakes, this movement occurred on the San Andereas fault and in Haiti this was caused by movement on the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault.

What is the difference between the Haitian earthquake and the Chilean earthquake?
The two earthquakes occurred due to differing types of fault movement (thrust faulting in the Chilean quake vs strike slip faulting in the Haitian quake) and at two differing types of plate boundaries. In the case of the Chilean earthquake, this was at a convergent boundary where the Nazca oceanic plate is being subducted under the continental South American plate as opposed to the Haitian earthquake which occurred at a transform boundary between the Caribbean and North American plates which are both moving east but at differing speeds. The Haitian earthquake was also of lower magnitude (magnitude 7.0) than the Chilean earthquake (magnitude 8.8) however it caused more damage and led to a much larger number of injuries and fatalities due to the poor construction techniques used in Haiti. Please see the related questions for more information.
