Jones Jones LLC, a defense law firm with a successful 100-plus year history representing insurance carriers and self-insured employers is pleased to share that Executive Partner Matthew Jones is among the 2025 recipients of the International Association of Industrial Accident Boards and Commissions (IAIABC) NextGen Award. Jones was awarded this honor in recognition of his impact on the workers’ compensation industry. The IAIABC NextGen award celebrates talented and transformative young professionals under the age of 40 who are making a positive difference in their organizations and leading the industry into the future.
For the 2025 IAIABC NextGen Awards, Jones was selected along with seven other recipients from a pool of outstanding nominees. IAIABC sought nominees who set themselves apart in workers’ compensation through their accomplishments, dedication and contributions to their clients and their team.
“The recovery and wellbeing of injured employees is central to all our work in the workers’ compensation industry. When an employee is unable to receive the treatment they need, whether it be due to a lack of resources or a case that is being dragged on, we all feel that pain,” said Jones. “The work that the IAIABC does is vital to keeping workers’ compensation cases moving. The support and funding the IAIABC provides helps reduce harm and aids recovery for injured workers. It is an honor to be recognized among this list of remarkable nominees and NextGen leaders. I want to thank IAIABC for this award and my entire team at Jones Jones for their unyielding support.”
As a NextGen Award recipient, Jones’ story will be shared at the IAIABC 111th Convention October 6-8, 2025, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He will also be profiled in a special edition issue of Perspectives, the IAIABC’s digital publication.
