Matt Lewis Board Certified in Workers' Compensation Law, Texas Board of Legal Specialization
My law practice is dedicated almost entirely to the area of workers' compensation. I represent injured
workers and medical providers in the Texas workers' compensation system. I have handled and continue to pursue claims
for both injured workers and medical providers through the administrative process and into the District Courts of Texas, if
necessary. In order to exhaust administrative remedies and collect outstanding medical bills, I represent medical providers
through the Medical Dispute Resolution process and before the State Office of Administrative Hearings.
I also represent people who have been injured
as the result of someone else's negligence. These injuries are usually the result of accidents like car wrecks,
18-wheeler accidents, construction incidents, medical malpractice, and on the job injuries not covered by workers' compensation.
Away from the office I like to play golf,
read or listen to books, and hang out with my family. I am married to Diana Lewis, and have two kids, Logan (6)
and Lauren (4).
