Accessible
We prioritize clear, consistent communication so our clients understand the litigation process and stay informed every step of the way. Our attorneys remain accessible and responsive throughout the life of the case.
What to Expect
Navigating the aftermath of an accident is tough. Our experienced attorneys guide you through the legal process, pursuing every negligent party to secure compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Future medical care
- Lost wages and earning potential
- Loss of quality of life
- Wrongful death damages
Our Process
- You Talk, We Listen
You’ve been through a lot, and we know your time is valuable. At our initial intake, we’ll ask you questions about what happened and gather everything we need to start your case, so you can get back to focusing on healing. During the intake process, our attorney’s will meet you in person or virtually to walk you through next steps and answer all your questions. - You Focus on Healing, We Handle the Rest
While you take care of your health, we gather evidence, take care of the paperwork, the phone calls, and the back-and-forth with the insurance companies. We’ll do whatever your case needs to get the best outcome possible including preparing a demand, negotiating, and litigating. You’ll always know what’s happening and what to expect. - You Get What You Deserve, So You Can Move On
Our goal is simple: help you recover what you’ve lost—medical bills, time from work, peace of mind—so you can confidently move forward with your life.
- NO Fees until we win
- Our clients always make more than us
- No fee increase no matter what it takes
At Matt Hardin Law, we offer our services on a contingent fee basis, meaning you are not responsible for legal fees until we recover compensation.
Going a step beyond:
Many firms increase their fees if they need to litigate. We are prepared to do whatever it takes to get your best resolution, with the same fee throughout.
Why You Need an Experienced Injury Attorney
Handling an insurance claim on your own can put you at a serious disadvantage. Without legal representation, you may risk:
Losing Important Evidence
- Key evidence can be lost or destroyed quickly if action isn’t taken right away.
Saying Something the Insurance Company Uses Against You
- Insurance adjusters are trained to look for statements they can use to reduce or deny claims. We handle communication so you don’t have to.
Accepting a Low Settlement Offer
- Early offers are often meant to protect the insurance company’s bottom line—not your future needs.
Missing Deadlines or Filing Errors
- Personal injury claims involve strict deadlines and detailed paperwork. We manage the process while you focus on recovery.
With Matt Hardin Law, you have an experienced legal team working to level the playing field from the very beginning.

Do I need a lawyer if my insurance agent is helping me?
Your insurance agent may be friendly, but they’re not your advocate. When your own insurance has to step in—such as when the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough coverage—the company’s goal is to limit its liability, not to maximize your recovery. Agents can’t build your case, protect your rights, or fight for the best possible outcome the way an attorney can. We recommend speaking with a lawyer before doing anything beyond simply notifying your insurer that a collision occurred.
Wouldn’t I get more money if I handled my claim without an attorney?
It’s a common misconception! Without an attorney, the playing field is extremely uneven, and insurance companies routinely undervalue claims when people try to handle them alone. Clients consistently recover more with a lawyer advocating for them, even after fees. And during your free consultation, we’ll give you honest guidance on whether hiring us is the best move for your specific case.
