YOU DESERVE SKILLED REPRESENTATION

You have the right to legal representation after an accident. You deserve it, too. That’s why we work on a contingency fee basis. There are no upfront fees, and you won’t receive a monthly bill. You pay us only if we recover compensation.

You deserve to have someone to fight for you.

By having a personal injury lawyer on your side, you have a better chance of succeeding in your claim and maximizing your compensation. We know how to build strong claims and push for the best possible outcome in these terrible circumstances. We aren’t afraid to negotiate or fight in court.

WHAT YOU GET WITH GJEL'S ACCIDENT & INJURY ATTORNEYS

Before you give us a call, you should know what you’ll get when working with our personal injury and wrongful death lawyers.

OVER 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

We bring over four decades of hard work and insight to the table. We’ve seen and heard it all, and by accepting accident-related cases only, we’ve become highly knowledgeable about California injury laws, insurance company policies and processes, and common defenses.

FOCUS ON MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS

Our most common cases are auto accidents. Whether you were driving, riding your bike, or walking across the street, we know what to do next. Let us help you and your family recover from this incident.

NO UPFRONT LEGAL FEES

We work on a contingency fee basis. We get paid by receiving a percentage of your settlement or court award. If we don’t win, you pay us nothing. This gives you access to personal injury representation no matter your finances right now.

OUR ATTORNEY’S FIGHT FOR MAX COMPENSATION

We know what to do to maximize your financial recovery. It’s why we highly recommend you hire a Walnut Creek personal injury attorney. We know what you’ll be up against with the insurance company, but more importantly, we know how to push back against an insurer trying to reduce its costs.

We investigate the cause of your accident right away. To build a strong claim, we need to know what happened and who was at fault. Once we know more, we identify the liable party. That’s the person or business legally responsible for compensating you. The liable party might differ from the at-fault party.

During our investigation, we’re gathering evidence of negligence and your injuries. We have to be able to prove both to win compensation. To that end, we also might hire one or more experts to testify regarding what caused the accident, your injuries, or your future expenses or lost wages.

California personal injury law may entitle you to compensation for your:

  • Current and future medical bills,
  • Lost wages,
  • Physical pain and suffering,
  • Emotional distress,
  • Disability,
  • Disfigurement,
  • Reduced earning capacity, and
  • Reduced quality of life.

We believe in preparing for litigation, even if your case won’t go to trial. Most personal injury claims settle out of court. But thorough preparation is how we get ready for negotiations and trial—whatever it takes to get you full and fair compensation.

If you lost a loved one, let us explain how wrongful death damages differ. You’ll demand compensation for losses suffered by you and other survivors.

RISK OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT IN WALNUT CREEK

Walnut Creek is located in Contra Costa County, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Its modest population of 70,000 people doesn’t adequately represent how busy the area is. Walnut Creek is a junction of several highways connecting major cities like Sacramento, San Jose, San Francisco, and Oakland. It has two BART stations and other forms of public transit.

Because of Walnut Creek’s location, it sees many motor vehicle accidents, wrongful death cases, bicycle accidents, and pedestrian accidents. We represent the victims of those accidents, whether they’ve been hurt or lost a loved one.
