How We Work

We get paid only if we win a client’s case in court or settle it.  Our clients pay no attorneys fees unless they recover.  Court costs, legal expenses, medical bills are paid from a client’s share of the recovery. If no recovery, clients are not responsible for any court costs or legal expenses, except unpaid medical bills.  We offer a free legal consultation.

Medical Device Injury Lawyers

Matthews & Associates’ Medical Device Injury Lawyers work nationwide and in Puerto Rico for people injured by medical devices. Our lawyers, paralegals, researchers and investigators hire experts, order medical records, take depositions, and fight corporate giants in courtrooms across the country.

Personal Injury Law Firm

Besides Medical Device Injury cases, our firm also handles Abuse by Clergy Lawsuits (Demanda de abuso por el clero), Talcum Powder Cancer Lawsuits, Monsanto Roundup Lawsuits, Gadolinium injury cases, Dangerous Drugs,  and Houston car accidents and truck accident cases. We also handle petrochemical and gas explosions, construction accidents, birth injury, premises liability, product liability, electrocutions, nursing home abuse, abuse by clergy, and  more.

Successes

Matthews & Associates has delivered financial compensation to thousands of clients, mostly through drug and medical device cases, but also through several others. The firm won a large jury verdict in a rape and kidnapping case in Houston against the largest shopping mall in Texas and one of the country’s largest security companies.  Mother Jones covered the story of  defective baby cradle cases Mr. Matthews handled for devastated families – “The Hand that Rocks the Cradle.”

More recent successes include verdicts in an IVC Filter case in Houston,  transvaginal mesh cases in Texas’ 95th Judicial District Court; a fracking case in Texas in the County Court at Law #5 in Dallas County; a birth defects case in Philadelphia: Anderson v Janssen Pharmaceuticals in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County First Judicial District.

Individual Cases, Individual Attention

In pharmaceutical drug litigation, people often have vastly different injuries and circumstances; therefore they need their cases handled on an individual basis. At Matthews & Associates, we may sometimes file cases in a group; but we virtually always prosecute them on an individual case-by-case basis.
