San Francisco Premises Liability Lawyer

Injured on Someone Else’s Property in San Francisco?

When a property owner or manager fails to maintain safe conditions on his or her property, accidents are much more likely to happen. Laws regarding property ownership are designed to create standards of safety that guests, tenants, and patrons alike can come to expect when visiting a property. The last thing people expect is to suffer serious damages or injuries just by making a simple trip to the grocery store or mall.

If you or a loved one was hurt in an accident on someone else’s property because of hazardous conditions, you should speak with a San Francisco premises liability attorney to learn about the legal options available to you. Not everyone will have a case, but our firm is particularly adept at determining which course of action can be taken to hold negligent parties accountable and pursue compensation that may be rightfully yours.

Contact The Matiasic Firm today at (415) 858-6692 for a free consultation.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere. When a property manager fails to mop, sweep, or clean slippery substances off the floor, an unsuspecting patron or employee can slip or trip and fall. These accidents can result in minor to catastrophic injuries, including bumps and scratches or brain and spinal cord injuries.

Animal Attacks or Dog Bites

Pet owners in California are required to keep their pets restrained by using a leash. If an animal is unrestricted and attacks someone, the resulting damages can include scratches, infections, scarring, and/or emotional damage. If you, your child, or a loved one has been attacked, the owner may be held responsible.

Negligent Security

Property owners can take precautions to ensure a safe and secure environment. From adequate lighting to hiring security personnel, these measures can ensure the safety of visitors. Unfortunately, dim lighting, negligent security staff, or inadequate locks can result in criminal activity or other potential hazards.

Accidents Caused by Property Defects

San Francisco is known for its beautiful architecture and historical buildings. To ensure the safety of the public, the city imposes specific building codes with which property owners must comply. When a negligent property owner fails to comply with regulations, hazards can pose serious risks for unsuspecting pedestrians.

Examples of dangerous premises include:

  • Dangerous roadways
  • Unsafe intersections
  • Uneven sidewalks
  • Dangerous construction sites
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Holes in the pavement
  • Exposed nails or sharp objects
  • Unsafe walkways

Property conditions must be reasonably safe for the public. This means that any owner of property, including an individual, a business, or a municipal entity, must uphold its duty to the public. If negligent maintenance results in an accident or injury, victims can seek compensation for the damages they have suffered.

At The Matiasic Firm, we can help you hold property owners, municipalities, or other parties responsible. We are skilled at determining who has the primary responsibility for addressing defective property conditions. In some cases, we are able to establish that multiple parties can be held liable for your injuries.

“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.”
