Motor Vehicle Accident

Our dedicated team of attorneys is committed to providing compassionate, effective legal representation to those who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. We strive to hold responsible parties accountable and secure the compensation our clients need to recover and move forward.
Motor vehicle accidents encompass a wide range of incidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians. These accidents can result from various factors, including driver negligence, vehicle defects, and hazardous road conditions. The consequences can be devastating, leading to severe injuries, emotional trauma, and financial hardship.
At Matzus Law, we approach each motor vehicle accident case with a thorough and strategic plan. Our process involves:
We gather all necessary evidence, including police reports, witness statements, and accident reconstruction analyses, to build a strong case.
We work with medical professionals, accident reconstruction experts, and other specialists to support our clients’ claims.
We prioritize our clients’ needs, keeping them informed and involved throughout the legal process.
We are dedicated to fighting for our clients’ rights, whether through negotiation, settlement, or trial.
Motor vehicle accidents can occur in various forms. At Matzus Law, we specialize in the following types of accidents:
Car accidents are the most common type of motor vehicle accident. They can result from a variety of factors, including:
Activities such as texting, eating, or using in-car technologies can divert a driver’s attention from the road.
Driving above the speed limit or too fast for conditions increases the risk of losing control and causing a collision.
Alcohol impairs judgment, coordination, and reaction times, significantly increasing the likelihood of an accident.
Aggressive behaviors like tailgating, weaving through traffic, and road rage contribute to dangerous driving conditions.
Rain, snow, fog, and ice can create hazardous driving conditions, leading to accidents.
Our attorneys are experienced in handling car accident cases, ensuring that negligent drivers are held accountable and that our clients receive the compensation they deserve for their injuries and losses.
Truck accidents often result in more severe injuries and fatalities due to the size and weight of commercial trucks. Common causes of truck accidents include:
Long hours on the road can lead to driver fatigue, impairing reaction times and decision-making abilities.
Excessive or unevenly distributed weight can cause trucks to become unstable.
Neglecting regular maintenance can lead to mechanical failures and accidents.
Mistakes such as improper lane changes, speeding, and failure to yield can result in serious collisions.
Violations of federal trucking regulations, such as hours-of-service rules, can contribute to accidents.
Matzus Law has extensive experience in navigating the complexities of truck accident cases, working diligently to identify liable parties and secure maximum compensation for our clients.
Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable on the road due to their lack of protection. Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
Other drivers often fail to yield the right of way to motorcyclists at intersections and while changing lanes.
Many motorcycle accidents occur when a vehicle turns left in front of an oncoming motorcycle.
Debris, potholes, and uneven road surfaces can be particularly dangerous for motorcyclists.
Both motorcyclists and other drivers engaging in speeding or reckless driving increase the risk of accidents.
Riding between lanes of traffic can be dangerous and is illegal in many states.
Our attorneys understand the unique challenges faced by motorcyclists and are dedicated to advocating for their rights and securing the compensation they need for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
Bicyclists are at a high risk of injury when involved in accidents with motor vehicles. Common causes of bicycle accidents include:
Drivers often fail to notice or yield to bicyclists, especially at intersections.
Bicyclists can be seriously injured when a driver or passenger opens a car door into their path.
Potholes, debris, and other hazards can cause bicyclists to lose control and crash.
Inadequate infrastructure can force bicyclists to share the road with larger, faster vehicles, increasing the risk of accidents.
Drivers under the influence or distracted by their phones pose significant dangers to bicyclists.
Matzus Law is committed to protecting the rights of injured bicyclists and holding negligent drivers accountable for their actions.
Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users, and accidents involving pedestrians often result in severe injuries or fatalities. Common causes of pedestrian accidents include:
Drivers often fail to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks or intersections.
Drivers who are texting, eating, or otherwise distracted may not notice pedestrians in their path.
Higher speeds reduce a driver’s reaction time and increase the severity of injuries in a collision.
Accidents are more likely to occur in low-light conditions or when pedestrians are not easily visible.
Drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs are less likely to notice and react to pedestrians.
Our attorneys are experienced in representing pedestrians who have been injured by negligent drivers, ensuring they receive the compensation necessary to recover and move forward with their lives.
