In a very tragic case, Matt represented the family of a young man who was involved in the sport of racing.

Matt represented a family whose son was killed when a defective tire failed and caused the son’s tractor-trailer to veer off the highway and collide with a tree. After filing a wrongful death action, Matt recovered $1.75 million from the manufacturer of the tire.
