SOUTHFIELD, Mich. , July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Matz Injury Law, an award-winning personal injury law firm based in Southfield, Mich. offering a unique contingency fee structure, is announcing more than $10 million worth of savings to the clients it serves through its reduced fee model. Personal injury lawyers charge no upfront costs to clients who have been hurt in an auto or other accident, or whose family members are involved in a wrongful death action, but once that settlement is reached, according to Superlawyers, between 33 percent and 40 percent of the financial award goes to the lawyer. Steve Matz, the founder of Matz Injury Law in 1978 who now runs his company with his son Jared Matz, felt that figure seemed too high and he started gradually charging smaller percentages from 2009 onwards, going to 30 percent, 28 percent, 25 percent and eventually settling on 22 percent around 10 years ago. This has resulted in huge savings for clients with $9,163,000 alone saved since the 22 percent model was introduced and hundreds of thousands annually before that. For images click here.

"We offer the lowest contingency fee in the country, which simply means that our clients get to keep more of their money when they have been through a trauma and need to rebuild their lives," said Steve Matz. "I came to the realization that we could still be a profitable company even when I started reducing the fees; it just felt like it was the right thing to do. We are an extremely effective legal team, winning cases all over the state including northern Michigan and the UP, and when the case is over, our clients keep more of the money they are awarded."

In simple terms, if a client has a settlement of $250,000, a typical policy limit in auto accidents, other lawyers receive $83,333 so the client would walk away with $166,670; Matz Injury Law clients would instead keep $195,000.

One recent client, Dan Fitch, was struck by an SUV while riding his motorcycle. "When I was released from the hospital, I contacted lawyer Steven Matz, who came to our home and assisted us with all the paperwork. Steve also got us top dollar for my totaled bike, and the maximum amount allowed in our financial settlement. Steve was always available to help with questions and gave answers that contained compassion. He was always upbeat and energetic! I highly recommend his services to anyone that may need them."

Another client Grant Bouton described the experience of working with Steve Matz and his practice as 'amazing', explaining that Matz even came to his house to discuss his case when he was bedridden. "His dedication, professionalism, truly made a difference. One of the best parts is he takes 22% not 33%!," he said.

Matz, who is included for the 12th year in the list of Michigan Super Lawyers and was inducted into the Michigan Lawyers Weekly Hall of Fame earlier this year, added that his company had made the decision not to spend aggressively on marketing, which also helps to allow him to keep his contingency fee lower. "Clients know that when they call Matz Injury Law they will reach a real person to listen to them and then work unfailingly hard for them," said Matz. "We are a family firm foremost and offer outstanding results for our clients dealing with a catastrophe that has upended their lives, often in a horrific way. I see it as our privilege to serve them."

Matz is currently chair of a Michigan Attorney Disciplinary Board Hearing Panel and serves on the State Bar of Michigan Committee on Character and Fitness.
