San Francisco Burn Injury Attorney

Millions of Dollars Recover for Personal Injury Victims

Burn injuries are often painful and severe, affecting a person both physically and mentally. While burn injuries require a substantial amount of medical treatment and rehabilitation, the scars left can cause serious social and emotional issues for victims.

If you suffered a serious burn injury due to the negligence of another party in Northern California, our San Francisco personal injury attorneys at The Matiasic Firm can help you recover maximum compensation to pay for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. Over the years, we have helped injured people like you navigate the complexities of the legal system and obtain millions of dollars in monetary damages. Let us help you as well.

About Burn Injuries Caused by Negligence

Negligence is one of the main reasons why burn injuries occur. For instance, a burn injury could be caused by a work-related accident if the victim works near heat sources, electricity, radiation, or chemicals. Other common causes also include car accidents and dangerous or defective products. Burn injuries also result from inadequate or missing fire life safety systems, including smoke detectors and fire alarms, often due to negligent landlords.

When an individual sustains an avoidable burn if not for negligence, he/she can recover financial compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. A burn victim may be entitled to both economic (e.g. medical bills and lost wages) and noneconomic damages (pain and suffering).

Treatment for a burn injury may require surgery, physical therapy, and other forms of long-term medical treatment, especially if it results in serious disfigurement.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?

Every state places a time limit on how long an injury victim has to file a claim before they lose their right to recover compensation from the negligent party. In California, there is a two-year statute of limitations on burn injury cases.

“They are the type of lawyers you want to have on your side, the type you can trust!”

“Paul Matiasic represented me in an accident case where I almost got ripped off by the insurance company. The case took a little longer, but Paul and his team (Justin White) never gave up on me. They called/email every week to make sure I was feeling okay and gave me the status of the case. I felt at ease dealing with them. They are very human and care about their clients more than the money. They are the type of lawyers you want to have on your side, the type you can trust!”

Paul Matiasic is a superb personal injury attorney!

“Paul handled a case for me about eighteen months ago. It took a year to bring the recalcitrant insurance company to the table. Once there Paul was inspiring beyond his years. Strongest negotiator I have ever seen. A real treat to watch him in action. I found Paul to be prompt at returning phone calls, honest, fair and of the highest character. I would recommend him with no reservations.”

We can only say that God was on our side when Paul came into the picture.

“If it were not for Paul stepping to help with our case, we feel that it would not have been resolved as quickly and as efficiently as it was handled. We can only say that God was on our side when Paul came into the picture. Thank you, Paul!”

You can be assured The Matiasic Firm will work as hard for you, too!

“If you find yourself in need of an excellent attorney, I highly recommend The Matiasic Firm. This was a first for me and I will always remember the experience of working with Paul Matiasic and Scott Johnson in pursuing our wrongful death claim. I was turned down several times and then was referred to this firm. After presenting Paul and Scott with the facts as I saw them, they took on my case. The two attorneys as well as their staff was professional and tentative it felt as if I was their only client. We started the case in 2015 and I was advised from day one how difficult it would be but I was kept informed along the way. Any time I had a question or needed clarification Paul or Scott was there. In 2017, a settlement was reached. I just can't say enough of how pleased I was to have been their client. I will recommend Paul Matiasic and Scott Johnson to anyone in need of legal service. You can be assured The Matiasic Firm will work as hard for you, too!”

“Paul Matiasic was amazing and got me a settlement that satisfied me!”

“I found Mr. Matiasic online and he was the only one of three other lawyers who responded wanting more info. The others did not want to persue the case, thinking it hard to prove. Mr. Matiasic was the only one who asked to meet with me personally to discuss the case and it was only with Mr. Matiasic asking questions and explaining to me the what we needed to prove, that I was able to give him the solid information (photos) that resulted in a successful settlement. He worked with and for me from the initial contact in May 2007 until the settlement in Dec 2007, keeping me appraised at every step of the negotiations. I was more than pleased with the result.”
