Pedestrian Accidents: The Long-Term Effect After a Collision

November 27, 2018

Pedestrian Accident

In San Francisco, the great weather and scenery sets the tone for a lot of pedestrians on the road. There are so many people and getting around on foot is one of the more popular means for people in the city. While this is not a bad thing, there are possible dangers that do exist.

Far too often, drivers are negligent in their actions, leading to a serious danger on the road. And for pedestrians, with very little protection, these negligent drivers pose a huge risk to their health and well-being. A pedestrian accident has long-term effects on the victim that many don’t know.

Medical Expenses Piling Up

After such a serious accident, the catastrophic injuries may require the victim to receive numerous treatment options and procedures. This means the medical bills can start to build up, putting even more burden on you and your family.

Inability to Work

Unfortunately, pedestrian accidents often result in injuries so severe that it prevents you from working and earning an income. When you already have medical bills piling up, the inability to work can put you in a difficult situation.

Long-term injuries may prevent you from ever working in the same occupation again. This may require a change in job or benefits from disability to help you cover the cost of living. However, there still needs to be legal action taken to help you and your family overcome some of the hardships you may face.

“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.”
