Empathetic Representation

For Your Claim

If you’ve suffered an injury due to the irresponsible actions of someone else, you deserve to be compensated for your injury.

If you or a loved one has been hurt as a result of negligence, we are here to lighten the burden of your difficult circumstance and ensure fairness.


Auto Accidents

Any number of things can go wrong when you get behind the wheel, one of the most common being involved in an accident with a careless driver. Ideally, the responsible party and their insurance company would take immediate action to rectify the situation, but this isn’t usually the case. This is where Gilbert & Gilbert Lawyers have successfully fought for victims of auto accidents for decades.

Why Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney?

Though you are certainly permitted to pursue a personal injury claim on your own, you may be denying yourself the best chance at success. It is extremely common for accident victims to adversely affect their case when talking to law enforcement or insurance adjusters. We know how to report the facts and present the case getting roped into accepting a measly settlement offered by an insurance company in an attempt to resolve things quickly and cheaply.


 We will advise you at every step of the way, from collecting the documentation you’ll need from medical professionals to filing the claim, speaking to witnesses, and more. Trust the experienced team at Gilbert & Gilbert Lawyers to get you through this difficult time while being treated fairly and with as little hassle as possible.


Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycles are obviously thrilling and enticing, but they also open the door to severe injury when sharing the road with other, larger vehicles.

 

Distracted or impatient drivers are a serious threat to motorcycle riders, and we have seen more than our fair share of personal injury cases involving motorcycles who were following all the rules of traffic.

 

No matter what the details of the accident were, we believe you’re entitled to the most effective legal help out there.


Depending on the severity of your injuries, a successful personal injury compensation award should cover not only the cost of the damages done to your bike but also any medical costs related to your injury, lost income and pain & suffering. Typically, claims seek reimbursement for all medical costs associated with the accident, both immediately following the incident and through your recovery. If you end up needing a one-time surgery or are facing a lengthier recovery requiring physical therapy, we want the responsible party to pay for it.

 

You may also be compensated for lost wages if your injury prevents your immediate return to work. If you are injured severely enough that your income-earning potential is decreased, you may be able to sue for the difference. In most cases, we may also be able to seek compensation for pain and suffering.


Slip and Fall

(Premises Liability)

Property and business owners have a legal obligation to maintain safe spaces for visitors. If they don’t and someone becomes injured, they could (and should) be held liable.

 

If you or someone close to you has sustained an injury due to slipping and falling at a property owned by another, you may be eligible to file a premises liability claim and recover compensation. We’ll help you through the process.


Common causes of slip and falls include:

  • Broken floors, such as cracks in concrete, damaged accessibility ramps, or uneven carpeting
  • Exposed wires, cords, or other materials that could trip someone
  • Spilled liquids or solids
  • Inadequate lighting


Truck Accidents

If you’ve suffered an injury due to the irresponsible actions of someone else, you deserve to be compensated for your injury.

 

We help our clients recover monetary reimbursement for medical bills, insurance payments, lost wages, diminished income-earning potential, future lost wages, future medical expenses and pain and suffering.

 

If you or a loved one has been hurt as a result of negligence, we are here to lighten the burden of your difficult circumstance and ensure fairness.


Get Proactive Help Following a Truck Accident

Accidents involving large trucks can be incredibly frightening and cause overwhelming amounts of damage. This is why commercial drivers are held to higher driving safety standards, though they don’t always comply, and serious accidents happen. If you or a loved one has been injured due to the negligence of a truck or 18-wheeler driver, the capable and proactive legal team at Gilbert & Gilbert Lawyers can help.


What Does the Legal Process Look Like?

First, we will help you file a claim against the employer of the negligent driver. Their insurance company is responsible for processing the claim which they will either accept and provide you with compensation or deny the claim entirely. If the claim is denied, we’ll work directly with the insurance company to negotiate what happens next and assist you in filing suit against the at fault party should that become necessary.

 

In either case, we will advocate for you with skill, experience, and fearlessness to secure the compensation you deserve.



Get the Compensation You Deserve

Pursuing compensation for your injuries is the right and just way to handle situations in which you have suffered at the hands of someone else.

 

We take pride in being Skagit County’s longest-standing personal injury law firm and will use all of our resources and influence to get you the outcome you deserve.
