Jordan Matthews, a 34-year-old elementary school teacher from Mead, Washington, was involved in a motor vehicle accident on October 12, 2024. While stopped at a red light on North Market Street, her vehicle was rear-ended by another driver who was cited for inattentive driving. Jordan was not at fault for the accident. Within 48 hours, she sought medical attention due to neck stiffness, lower back pain, and persistent headaches. She was diagnosed with whiplash and lumbar strain and was referred to both a chiropractor and a physical therapist for ongoing care. 

Jordan began treatment on October 14, 2024, and has maintained consistent care without any treatment gaps exceeding six months. Her regimen initially included two to three sessions per week, gradually tapering to monthly maintenance therapy, which she continues to receive as of June 2025. Her injuries significantly impacted her daily life and professional responsibilities. She missed two weeks of work and had to modify her teaching duties to avoid prolonged standing and physical exertion. Even now, she experiences occasional discomfort that limits her ability to engage in activities she once enjoyed, such as hiking and yoga. 

Jordan has not received any prior settlement related to this accident and is currently unrepresented by legal counsel. She has cooperated fully with her insurance provider and filed a claim under her personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. Given the recent date of the accident, prompt and consistent treatment, clear lack of fault, and ongoing impact on her quality of life, Jordan Matthews is a well-qualified motor vehicle accident claimant.
