Tourist Accidents

San Francisco Pedestrian & Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Tourists come to San Francisco with the intent of enjoying the city’s unique historical features, recreational activities, art and culture festivals, and other attractions. Unfortunately, many tourists are unfamiliar with just how crowded San Francisco’s streets can get. With hundreds and thousands of tourists visiting the city on a daily basis, many drivers, public transportation operators, and other motorists do not always observe people in crosswalks. As a result, many tourists can become involved in collisions , which can result in significant injuries.

When a tourist is involved in a pedestrian or bicycle accident when visiting San Francisco, he or she has the same right to seek financial compensation as any other local pedestrian. If you were hit by a car or other vehicle, our San Francisco pedestrian and bicycle accident attorneys are here to help. We can help you handle your legal matters and ensure that your paperwork is handled with minimal conflict.

Were you hit while visiting San Francisco, California?

Tourists are among those with the highest risk of becoming pedestrian accident victims. They may be unfamiliar with local forms of public transportation and the unique risks they pose. Locals know that there are dangers posed by a light rail system that drops passengers off in the middle of a busy roadway or street. Tourists are often injured by walking directly into the middle of traffic just by stepping off from one of San Francisco’s light rail trains.

If you were injured during your visit to San Francisco, you have the right to pursue financial compensation for your injuries. We can pursue legal action against any liable party, insurance company, or public transportation entity. Whether you are from out-of-state or from a surrounding county, we can help you file your claim quickly and efficiently so that you can stay home and focus on your recovery.

Providing Representation for Victims from Out of State

If you were injured while visiting California from out of state, you have the same right to pursue compensation as any other California resident. Our attorneys can help safeguard your rights and help you pursue full compensation according to personal injury laws. We are experienced at representing clients who have traveled from other regions to San Francisco. No matter where you live, our doors are open to you. We can be your trusted representative after an accident.

“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.”
