A Comprehensive Legal Effort

We’ll start by investigating the cause of the accident and carefully examining the insurance issues in your case to determine all potential sources of recovery. We’ll closely monitor your medical care and resolve your case at the peak value of your claim.

Getting Medical Care and Compensation

At Matz Injury Law, we’ll listen closely as you describe your accident and the effects it has had on your life. We will become a strong and tenacious legal advocate on your behalf, and help you get the medical care and compensation you deserve.

We won’t let an insurance company deny you medical treatment or minimize your compensation.

In one Michigan case, we obtained a $750,000 settlement for the family of a young man killed when his car was hit by a delivery truck that swerved to avoid a stopped vehicle.

In another commercial vehicle case we helped a family obtain a settlement of $3,450,000 ($450,000 more than the insurance policy limits) for a family who lost loved ones as a result of an inattentive cement truck driver.

The maximum contingency fee permitted by law is actually 331/3%. Michigan court rules require that the attorney fee be computed on the net sum recovered after deducting all disbursements properly chargeable to the enforcement of the claim.

What does 22not33 mean, exactly?

We can charge 22% while virtually all other injury attorneys charge 331/3% because we are very, very, good at obtaining results for our clients.

We do not spend millions of dollars on television ads; instead, we offer a lower fee to all our clients. We do not have dozens of lower paid associates handling our work. All our clients are represented by Steven and Jared Matz. Steven Matz started the firm in 1977 and since then has dedicated his life to representing injury victims. Jared joined the firm in 2016 but grew up listening to stories, discussing theories, and generally learning at the dinner table about how to effectively and compassionately represent injury victims. Jared Matz was literally born to represent individuals involved in motor vehicle crashes.

All of our cases are handled on a contingency fee and all our cases are handled at 22%. Whether the case settles or goes through trial, the fee does not change. While our competitors make excuses as to why they charge so much, we are obtaining results for our clients at a lower fee.

At a typical television advertising law firm, your first call will be handled by a receptionist, who may refer you to an intake person, who will discuss your claim with an intake manager, who then discusses your claim with an associate, who may then report to a partner. You may never speak with the person whose name is at the top of the letterhead. At Matz Injury Law you will always speak with either Steven Matz or Jared Matz.
