Wrongful Death

Murder
In 2017 police responded to a 911 call and found two bodies. Ballistics evidence indicated that the shooter used a 12-gauge shotgun, but the murder weapon was never recovered. According to the State, Kirk Matthews (hereinafter “Defendant”) got into an argument with the two victims and the controversy led to their deaths. Video footage from two security cameras showed one of the victims chasing the other victim. Shortly after the shooting, one camera recorded an individual walking across a yard, a “significant” distance from where the camera was situated. That individual appeared to be carrying a shotgun, but his facial features and race were indiscernible.
Homicide
State v. Matthews provided the first opportunity for the Maryland Court of Appeals to address whether a trial court erred in deciding the admissibility of expert testimony in a double homicide case after

Workers Compensation

Construction Litigation
In an article for the Legal Intelligencer titled “Navigating Risk: Advising Clients on Construction Defect Coverage and CGL Policies,” Matthew provides an overview of the various types of insurance policies available to offset the risks involved in construction and discusses the coverage available under each. He also discusses various types of Commercial General Litigation (CGL) policy exclusions and what each bar from compensability.
Eminent Domain
Property Damage
Little case law specifically allows for an award of damages for both the cost of repairs and diminution in value damages in the construction defect context. Some jurisdictions, in the context of damage to automobiles, have allowed the recovery of post-repair diminution in value damages, but those damages are limited by the extent to which the sum of the diminution in value plus the repair costs is less than the difference between the property’s pre-accident value and its post-accident salvage value. In other words, the outside limit of what one is entitled to recover in a property damage case is always the value of the property pre-accident vs. post accident salvage value. See

Personal Injury
“[A]n employer shall provide compensation...for a hernia caused by an accidental personal injury or by strain arising out of and in the course of employment if... [the] employee provides definite proof that...(1) the hernia did not exist before the accidental personal injury or strain occurred; or (2) as a result of the accidental personal injury or strain, a preexisting hernia has become so aggravated, incarcerated, or strangulated that an immediate operation is needed...”
Medical Malpractice
The plaintiff sued: her local Maryland dentist; a consulting dentist in New York; and the New York dentist’s limited liability company. The case was pursued as a claim for medical malpractice in Maryland state court.
