Why Choose Matz Injury Law If You Have Been Injured In a Car Accident

No law states that you must secure a car accident lawyer for your personal injury case. If you do not, however, you are putting yourself at a serious disadvantage. Insurance adjusters will try many different tricks and tactics to get you to sign a paltry offer, or even to get out of paying you at all. They know how to use the law against you, like claiming the accident was your fault, which, according to Michigan’s modified comparative fault law, could bar you from compensation.

A qualified and experienced attorney who represents motor vehicle accident victims can level the playing field. Matz Injury Law knows how to fight back against bullying insurance adjusters. We can help you avoid making incriminating statements, and we can even take over the communication with insurance companies completely so you do not have to deal with the extra stress. We will make sure all the paperwork is correct and on time, and we will remind everyone who the real victim is. We will give you the best shot at significant compensation for your injuries.
