Dre HOctober 5, 2026
I’m still working with this attorney (Jared), so he isn’t done helping me yet, but I wanted to leave a review because of what he has already done for me. I originally had another law firm representing me, and while I don’t want to say anything negative about them, they just weren’t able to get my wage loss claim resolved. This was a claim against my own insurance company, and the insurance company was refusing to pay me what I was owed. After I changed attorneys and he got involved, things changed drastically. The way the insurance company and the adjuster dealt with me changed, and ultimately I was able to get my wage loss claim resolved and get paid. That result alone gave me a completely different level of confidence in him. What I really appreciate is that he actually knows what he’s doing. He’s extremely knowledgeable, but he also explains things in a way that’s easy to understand. He doesn’t make you feel like you’re supposed to already know all the legal stuff. He takes the time to explain what’s happening and why. He’s also very accessible. Obviously, you have to schedule time to actually talk, but I can text him when I have a question and he responds. That means a lot when you’re dealing with something as stressful as an insurance claim. I also think he’s a very strategic thinker. He doesn’t just look at one thing in isolation. He seems to understand how all the different pieces fit together and how the insurance company is likely to approach things. You can tell he’s thinking about the bigger picture. He’s still representing me with the remaining pain and suffering portion of my matter, so he isn’t done helping me yet. But honestly, the fact that he was able to accomplish what the previous firm couldn’t gives me a lot of confidence going forward. I’m very glad I made the decision to change attorneys. Based on what I’ve experienced so far, I would absolutely recommend him.Posted on Google![]()

Absolutely exceptional at his job. Steve is as straightforward, as matter of fact, but understanding as can be.

I highly recommend Matz Law. Despite multiple attorneys undervaluing my case, Steve secured a significantly higher result. Moreover, by charging a 22% fee instead of the typical 33%, I retained a substantial portion of my recovery. Steve, was knowledgeable, transparent, and always available to answer any questions and to explain the process. I appreciated his persistence in handling this complex and frustrating process. Though Steve was always professional, he treated me with the genuineness of a friend. I confidently recommend Steve Matz to anyone seeking strong representation.Posted on Google![]()

I cannot recommend Steve and his team highly enough. From the very first consultation, the team was professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt confident and supported throughout my case. Their attention to detail and dedication truly made a difference. They fought hard on my behalf and achieved a result that exceeded my expectations. Communication was always clear and timely, and I never felt like “just another client.” If you’re looking for a law firm that genuinely cares and delivers outstanding results, this is the one to call. Thank you for everything!Posted on Google![]()

My parents were involved in a fatal car accident, where we needed guidance dealing with the insurance company. A month after the accident the insurance agency had stopped addressing our calls and emails. Retaining Steve Matz and his team was the absolute best decision we made for my mom. He was professional from start to finish and we had a settlement quickly. Steve answered all of our calls and emails, and assured us that he would take care of our family during this time. If you are questioning whether seeking guidance is needed, don't hesitate and reach out. Steve was very open about what he could do for our case, and how retaining his services could impact our timeline. We felt as though we were talking to a friend, not an attorney, whom checked on us often. Thank you for all you have done for our family, especially my mom during this time. Your service and compassion deserves more than 5 stars!

You Have Questions, We Have Answers

What Kinds of Compensation Can I Get After a Michigan Car Accident?
You can receive the compensation for the following:
Medical bills: Long-term medical expenses also matter when determining how much your injury claim is worth. Property damage: Only applies to damage you have caused to someone else. You may have to work with Michigan mini-tort law (maximum coverage here of $3,000). Additionally, your collision coverage would handle the property damage if applicable.
Lost wages: When severe injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident prevent you from going to work, you may be able to get compensation for those lost wages. Specifically, this covers the wages you would’ve earned if you had not been injured.
Disfigurement and permanent impairment: These fall outside PIP coverage limits and require filing a claim against the at-fault driver. Standard PIP insurance does not cover non-economic damages, like pain and suffering, which are harder to quantify than medical bills or property damage. For compensation in these areas, a claim must be filed against the responsible driver.
Pain and suffering: This is not covered by PIP insurance and is harder to quantify.

Can You Sue a Driver for a Car Accident in Michigan?
Under Michigan’s no-fault law, insured persons are protected against car accident lawsuits resulting from an auto accident, except in very specific special circumstances. These include the following circumstances:
- Car accident cases in which car accident victims are killed, permanently disfigured, or severely injured
- If an automobile accident involves a non-resident operating a motor vehicle not registered in Michigan
- Michigan drivers involved in accidents in other states
- Legal action for up to $1,000 against drivers who are 50 percent or more at fault if the accident causes damage to another’s car that is not covered by insurance

What Are My Rights After a Michigan Car Accident?
When you’ve suffered a car accident in Michigan, you have the right to seek compensation for damages, whether for personal injuries, property damage, lost wages, or any other damages you may have suffered. The process can be cumbersome, but our team can help make it as easy as possible. Michigan is a no-fault state, so that means the fault isn’t a factor when deciding which insurance company to turn to after your accident. -
How Long Does the Insurance Company Have to Investigate and Settle My Claim?
- In Michigan, insurance providers have 90 days from the date you file your claim to settle it. They are required to acknowledge the claim and provide you with all the necessary paperwork and instructions for proving your claim within 30 days of filing.
- After you provide proof, Michigan auto insurance providers have 30 days to pay your personal injury protection (PIP) claims, including your medical bills.
After 30 days pass following proof of claim, the overdue amount is subject to 12 percent interest. This means that if the insurance still has not paid your PIP claims after 60 days following filing, it is considered overdue. Twelve percent interest is charged, and you are within your legal rights to file a complaint with the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS). You may also be eligible to take legal action for a bad faith claim against the insurance company.
