San Francisco School Bus Accident Attorney

Protecting Our Children in School Bus Accidents

One of the greatest concerns a parent will ever have is the safety of their children. When you entrust another with your child’s welfare and any form of negligence occurs, the results can be heartbreaking. If your child has suffered an injury from a school bus accident, a hard-hitting San Francisco bus accident lawyer from our firm, The Matiasic Firm, has the experience necessary to forcefully seek justice and compensation on your child’s behalf. Our attorney s have been practicing law for 25 years and have recovered millions of dollars for our clients. Publications such as Sierra Star, San Jose Mercury News, Oakland Tribune, Fresno Bee and Santa Cruz Sentinel have featured us based on our proven record of success.

Millions of children are transported daily to and from school by bus. Newer school buses are required by law to have shoulder and lap restraints; however, there is no law that requires older buses to be retrofitted. This creates a greater risk of injury to children who ride in these busses.

Sudden stops, hazardous road conditions that cause the bus to jerk and sway, overcompensating to stay in a lane and swerving to avoid another vehicle or a pedestrian may all cause an accident and different types of injuries to occur. A driver may also be untrained and inexperienced, be under the influence of alcohol or drugs or simply be negligent in following safety standards. If your child was hurt in a school bus accident, a bus accident lawyer from our firm needs to be consulted with immediately.

Common Bus Injuries in San Francisco, California

Injuries associated with bus accidents include soft tissue injuries, burns, paralysis, broken bones, spinal cord or traumatic brain injuries, to name a few. In some cases, a wrongful death may have occurred. The school board is typically responsible for the safety standards being enforced and maintenance functions being performed. If maintenance issues and defective parts are not taken care of correctly or bus recall notices are ignored, the result could be tragic to a family. Let our firm help you through this difficult time by providing you with the legal expertise you need in navigating the claims process.

“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.”
