Count On Our GuidanceWe Aim To Protect Injured Workers
After serious injuries on the job, many workers are not sure where to turn. The claims process can be frustrating and complex, and missing work because of an injury can create serious financial strain. At Matheson and Horowitz in Vero Beach, we are dedicated to helping workers through these difficult times.
We are attorneys Edward G. Matheson and Michael K. Horowitz, and we have more than 70 combined years of experience fighting for injured workers. Having tried hundreds of cases, including many at the appellate level, we know firsthand what tactics the opposition will use to minimize your payout – and how to fight those tactics in court.
Our extensive knowledge of workers’ compensation law and the Veterans Affairs (VA) and Social Security Disability claims processes ensures that our clients receive sound legal advice and the legal representation they need. We are here to guide you through the process and help maximize the benefits to which you are entitled.

Ours is a boutique law firm but a strong one, and we handle every aspect of our clients’ claims personally. Our goal is working with our clients as closely as possible to achieve the outcome that best meets their needs. We want injured workers and those pursuing important benefits to be familiar with the process of seeking compensation and understanding their legal options. When the case is over, we want our clients to tell their friends and families about their positive experiences with our legal team and to say that they received excellent representation.
At Matheson and Horowitz, we fight for our clients like they are our own family, battling it out for them when they need strong advocacy in the courtroom. Employers and insurance companies know which firms are prepared to put up a fight for adequate compensation, and we are proud that ours is one of those firms. We won’t accept quick settlements to avoid going to trial – we have successfully litigated hundreds of workers’ compensation cases. Even if a settlement is the best option in your claim, preparing for trial helps us maximize your benefits and protect your rights.
