Fighting for the Little Guy

For more than 50 years, GJEL Accident Attorneys has been committed to fighting for injured victims in California. GJEL distinguishes itself from other law firms by focusing on quality over quantity. Their impeccable success rate, attention to detail, and commitment to their clients have helped GJEL recover nearly one billion dollars for victims of serious injury accidents and wrongful deaths.

Navigating the complexities of personal injury law can be a daunting task. Injured victims deserve the best when hiring a personal injury lawyer. GJEL is not just another California personal injury law firm; it's a legal powerhouse.

Focused and Personalized Legal Services

In an industry often criticized for its impersonal nature, GJEL Accident Attorneys offers a refreshing contrast. Led by veteran managing partner Andy Gillin, GJEL works closely with every client to understand the intricacies of their case and the human story behind it.

This empathetic approach allows the firm to fight effectively for the client's needs, especially when taking on powerful corporate defendants and insurance companies. For GJEL, it's not merely about legal victories; it's about impacting lives positively.

Competency in Handling Complex Cases

GJEL Accident Attorneys primarily focuses on severe injuries and wrongful death cases, including car accidents, paralysis, brain injuries, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and catastrophic injuries. The firm has developed a deep expertise in these areas, enabling it to tackle complex cases many other firms shy away from.

Severe injury and wrongful death cases require significant attention to detail. That's why GJEL is selective in the cases they take. By being selective, each attorney has the time and resources necessary to build a deep connection with their client. Learning everything about a client and their case helps GJEL prevail over the deep pockets of corporate defendants and insurance companies.

A Track Record That Speaks Volumes

Numbers can often tell a story more eloquently than words. With a success rate exceeding 99%, GJEL has recovered more than $950 million for its clients.

Among the firm's numerous landmark cases, GJEL lawyers secured over $20 million for a young woman hit by an AC Transit Bus—the largest recovery for an individual against a bus company in California history.

Each win is a testament to GJEL's ability to balance compassionate client interaction with a formidable courtroom presence. It's no surprise that GJEL has been recognized repeatedly as one of the best personal injury firms in the county.

Delivering More Than Just Compensation

GJEL's expertise extends beyond courtrooms and settlements. The firm

has an impressive team of sophisticated investigators, including retired California Highway Patrol and city police officers.

Their expertise in accident reconstruction has helped in countless cases, including in a devastating pipeline explosion that killed five workers and seriously injured numerous others. GJEL represented the family of the construction foreman, who received a wrongful death award of over $10 million. This award is Contra Costa County's largest wrongful death verdict or settlement.

A Commitment to Community

The firm's engagement with its clients is mirrored by its commitment to the community. GJEL has proactively sponsored safety organizations and scholarships for local students. They've even organized a summer program for students from diverse backgrounds to learn more about a potential legal career.

The GJEL Advantage

What sets GJEL apart is not just their formidable skills in the courtroom or their decades-long experience; it's their unwavering commitment to their clients. With attorneys who studied at prestigious universities like Stanford and the University of California, the firm brings top-tier legal expertise to the table. Yet their compassionate, client-centric approach has solidified their reputation as California's best personal injury law firm.

By merging legal excellence with a keen understanding of compassionate representation, GJEL Accident Attorneys continues to shape the landscape of personal injury law.
