This past year has been the most difficult of our lives after losing our 16-year-old daughter to a drunk driver. In the midst of our grief, we reached out to Matz Injury Law to explore our options. From the very beginning, Steve was exceptional—he carefully explained every possible avenue and ensured no detail was overlooked, all while respecting our wishes. Not only did Steve guide us through the civil and probate process, but he also supported us throughout the criminal trial of the driver responsible for our daughter’s death. Although I initially resisted the idea of receiving anything for her loss, Steve gently encouraged us to pursue the insurance payouts we were entitled to. His deep empathy for my wife and our two other children helped ease the weight of this tragedy. Thank you, Steve, for your unwavering support.

Man of his Word
Mr Steve Matz helped me ( Daniel Fitch ) 12 years ago when I was struck while riding my motorcycle. He always said after our victorious case was completed, that if l ever needed help, don't hesitate to call him, that he would help me, well years later, my home insurance didn't want to pay for all the items that were destroyed by a lightning strike. I didn't feel that was fair, so I called Steve, and the first words out of his mouth were, "I told you I would always help you". He helped me without charging me a single cent. He got involved, and the insurance company paid another 5 thousand dollars for items that they had directly told me that they would not pay for. I have so much Respect for Steve as a Lawyer, and as a Human Being. He is a great Soul who Truly believes that he has an obligation to Help People,and that's what he does. Words cannot express how grateful, and proud I feel to know him.
As a Proud American, and a Veteran, I can say I Trust Steve Matz, and I wouldn't think of hiring anyone else but Steve for legal help, he's a Man of his Word, and is the definition of a True Friend. Thank you Steve for Always being there to help me and my family. Sincerely, Daniel Fitch

Mr. Goldman handled my case with professionalism and tact.
Very good listener and adviser.
Felt non- stressed during our appearance before the Judge.
When I had problems using "Zoom" for the court case Mr. Goldman was sure I was able to communicate with the court explaining the problem.
A very good person.
I would recommend his services.

Ezra is an amazing attorney! I inquired on a Sunday about an issue I got into and he called immediately. He was understanding, reached out through text messages and never had me waiting.

Thank you so much for helping me!

The title says it all. From the first phone call to the settlement, Lloyd Pont and his staff have been with us through the post accident ordeal, using the court when the insurance company refused to settle. He’s not a loudmouth TV pitchman like some others. Rather, he is an experienced personal injury lawyer who gets the job done without the noise and fanfare. Highly recommended.

My former attorney had withdrawn from my auto accident case and I contacted Attorney Hawkins to take over the case. He called me personally reassuring me that he was highly qualified to represent me in this matter making plan to sign on as my attorney. This after many other attorneys refused to take this case. He told what to expect and to be very patient. I am waiting to see the final outcome but expecting great things.

When our father died the will he left was contested by a family member. With no money for a lawyer my brother and I were forced to go it alone in court. I called Johnny asking for any advise he could give, he went above and beyond! We spoke multiple times and he gave us key insights into the law around our case and how to behave at trial. Without him I don't think we would be near this prepared for our upcoming court date. It is nice to know there are people who do this job because they genuinely want to help others. Johnny Hawkins is one of those people!

After being involved in a car accident where the other driver tried to run after she rear ended me, my chiropractor directed me to Mr. Kohn for help with my injury. He was extremely accommodating for my schedule to meet up, very professional and thorough with my case. He worked very hard for me and I absolutely would recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer. Mr. Kohn was able to help me win a settlement and I am very thankful for his assistance. He's a great lawyer and a more importantly, he's a nice and personable man as well!

Mr Kohn is an excellent lawyer who put me at ease from day one. He came highly recommended from a colleague, and he did not disappoint. This was my first real case with a lawyer, and he always explained facts and details precisely, without talking "down to" me.
He expertly guided me through all the processes, and won my settlement. I highly recommend this man.

Mr. Kohn was referred to me by another well-known colleague of his, and I could not have hired a better lawyer! He continuously supported me throughout the entire case, from 2018-2021, and with exceptional compassion, might I add. Mr. Kohn fought hard for justice, and he truly showed how much he cares as a person when he represented me. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Kohn because you will not find a more supportive, caring, and professional attorney anywhere else! I could not be happier with the outcome and I have Mr. Leslie Kohn to thank!

As a business owner, I've put my heart and soul into my work. Through ups and down, highs and lows, I've put everything into my business over the last 15 years. So when someone comes along and tries to take advantage of what you've spent years building, it's a frustrating time.
A few years ago, when I was looking for a lawyer, I couldn't find anyone who understood that this business was more than just a business, it was my life. Then I met Josh. Josh got it right away, he understood the years of sweat equity I put into building my business, and what it meant to me. It took me years to forge my reputation in the community, and he fought for me to protect it.
He was constantly there for me, he kept me informed, walked me through the legal issues and strategy and made it make sense! He fought for me and my livelihood.
If you want empathy, understanding, and knowledge in an attorney that will fight for you when you have everything on the line, this is your guy! Since then, I've hired Josh for a variety of legal issues related to my company and he has always gone above and beyond to make sure me and my business are protected. If I ever need anything, he is my attorney.
Mr. Stapp, my business, my family, and I, thank you!

My family and I would personally like to thank Attorney Joshua Stapp and Funk and Associates for a job well done in the handling our case in such a prompt, professional, and caring manner. Attorney Stapp went above and beyond to ensure no stone was left unturned and paid attention to every vital detail. He made himself available at all times to help ensure my family and I had the best possible experience during a very difficult and trying time. He was on top of everything, fighting tooth and nail for everything we deserved. He was our tough, fearless advocate and we cannot thank you enough for your awesome service. Attorney Joshua Stapp and Funk & Associates are the absolute best!

Josh is honest, reliable, and cares about his clients. My son was injured by a drunk driver, Josh was professional, explained the entire process and kept my family in the loop the whole time. Knowing he was on top of everything brought my stress way down. When it was all said and done, we were very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend Josh for your case if you want results.

Larry Buckfire has built a practice over many years which reflects the dignity, character, skill, loyalty and relentlessness in pursuit of justice which he personifies. I have known Larry for over 30 years and can attest that he is one of the very finest people that I have ever known. His firm has proven itself to be among the most successful in the country and it does this by honoring the dignity and humanity of every one of its clients. Absolute maximum effort to achieve the best outcome for the people who honor them with their trust is standard at this practice. I give my very highest recommendation to the outstanding people at Drug Lawsuite Source

I was rear-ended by a cement truck and was left seriously injured. Ironically, I felt like I had hit a wall. No pun intended; but for my life, we lost just about everything. The Christensen Law took down that wall, cleaned the debris, put all they pieces we called our lives back together and built us from the ground up. There is no one I would trust to handle a case as I do Dave and Sarah and the entire Christensen Law. They believe, handle and defend your case as if you were one of their own.

Being I had never been in an auto accident. I did not know what to do. I was kept informed all the way of what this firm was doing in my accident case. I always had someone, (Michelle and Sarah) answer any questions I had when I called. I never waited , They were always there. After meeting with David, My dad and I knew he would do the best he could for me. Its a very frustrating time in your life, when you are dealing with pain and injury as a result of an accident. I left all the legal stuff to them and tried to get on with my life the best I could. Everything they told me would happen in my case, and the time frame, was right on. In closing the best thing I could say about this firm, I would recommend them 100%

I’m exceptionally happy working with Jerry Thurswell. I was given straightforward, honest information from a well-informed, seasoned professional like him and also he was able to represent me in the court for a large settlement case that I filed against a friend of mine who betrayed me after running away a huge amount of money. Jerry was very on point and did a great job on my case. I highly recommend him.

I got into a car accident and had injuries. While I was struggling to recover, I simply did not have the capacity to deal with the insurance companies. Once I decided to use the services of Jerry Thurswell, I immediately felt at ease. He gave me all the information on how we would proceed with my case, put me in contact with the doctors that I needed for my recovery and handled everything with the insurance companies. I ended up getting all my bills covered and feeling like I was really taken care of during a time when I needed it. I would definitely recommend Jerry Thurswell to everyone.

I was in a motorcycle accident in Florida with my boyfriend that was driving the motorcycle. I lady pulled out in front of us from a side road. We were unable to stop and she hit us. I went over the front of her car and my boyfriend was thrown from the bike. I broke my right arm, I have a plate and ten screws in it and spent three days in the hospital. He broke his leg, ribs, and face & internal injuries, he has double vision in his eye that will never get better. He had two surgeries on his leg and has a rod in it. He spent three weeks in the hospital. I called Mr. Buckfire's office and he started the paper work before we even left the hospital. We had Mr. George Burke as our lawyer and he was great. If we had any questions we could call him and he would help us right away we never had to wait. Our claim was settled in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend him.

My wife and were leisurely riding our motorcycle with my brother and sister in-law on their bike. An individual in a car crossed the centerline on a 2 lane country road, and put all four of us in the hospital. My wife got the worst of it. She was flown to the hospital and nearly died. She is now a quad with an amputated leg. Our family contacted Jason and he took care of all our needs, and has been helping us for the past 12 plus years as needed. Jason is an attorney that I would confidently recommend to anyone. A great attorney, and a great person.

I was injured in a car accident caused by an uninsured driver. While sitting at a red light, waiting to turn left, the driver wasn't paying any attention and plowed into the rearend of my car. It was a severe accident, totalling my vehicle and leaving me unconscious. When I came-to, I was being attended to by emergency medical providers and the police were there. I had no recollection of what happened. I was confused about what was going on and people were asking me questions that I could answer. Let me tell you, when that happens to you, the anxiety and worry starts immediately. I was in intense pain from my neck and shoulder for many months and my medical bills were adding up. I could not work for quite awhile, but as a self-employed person I had to figure out how to get my work done. Compounding all of this was the fact that the other driver had no insurance. I call Jason Waechter, whom a friend of mine said was the guy to talk to about car accidents and uninsured drivers. I'm glad I did, because my own insurance company was doing everything they could to get out of paying. You would be shocked at the lengths insurance companies will go to in order to stick it to you when you need them. Jason wouldn't let that happen. In Michigan, when you're in a car accident and the other driver doesn't have insurance, you have to go to your own insurance company for compensation. It's how Michigan no-fault works (make sure you are properly covered in case of uninsured motorist accident). My own aut insurance company did not want to pay anything but the absolute minimum they could get away with, forcing us to bring a lawsuit against them. Believe me, you want Jason on your side if you ever have to do a lawsuit against your insurance company. While they made ridiculously low offers, Jason was putting together a real case. He tried to settle with them several times, but they continued to balk. When we went in for our pretrial conference, and he discussed his case with them, the insurance company lawyers all of a sudden changed their minds. Jason held them to the grindstone, he came out with a settlement that was tens of thousands of dollars more than his previous offers of settlement. I was very pleased with his methodical work, his communications, and his ability to reason with the parties involved. I even more pleased that he was able to get me the compensation I needed. Thank you so much, Jason!

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You
A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.
If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.
When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?
Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:
- Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
- Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
- Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
- Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
- Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
- Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.
What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?
A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:
- Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
- Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
- Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
- Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
- Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.
How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?
Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
- Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.
Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Car Accident Lawyer
Before hiring a car accident lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with car accident cases?
Confirm the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, especially involving serious injuries or complex liability issues. -
How do you charge for your services?
Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges. -
How long will the process take?
Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -
What kind of compensation can I expect?
Ask about the types of damages you may be entitled to, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
How to Check the Credibility of a Car Accident Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
- Review their experience: Look for specialization in personal injury and car accident cases.
- Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
- Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
- Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Police report: A copy of the accident report filed by the police.
- Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments, and medical expenses.
- Photos and videos: Any visual evidence from the accident scene and of your injuries.
- Insurance information: Copies of your insurance policy and any correspondence with insurance companies.
- Witness information: Contact details and statements from any witnesses.
- List of questions: Prepared questions about your case and the legal process.
Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
