We Can Help You Fight for Compensation After a Serious Car Wreck

An automobile accident is among the most traumatic events any of us can experience. This is especially true when the collision is serious: In just a few minutes, your life may have changed permanently. While some car crashes are truly accidental, in most cases, a defective vehicle or negligent driver is to blame. In those cases, you deserve compensation to help you put your life back together.

Since 1969, the lawyers at The Gilbert Law Group® have sought justice for those whose lives have been disrupted by the pain and suffering of car accidents. The results we’ve achieved since then show our skill and dedication. We have recovered over $1 billion and Jim Gilbert, our firm’s founder, was invited to join the elite Inner Circle of Advocates, an organization of the nation’s top 100 plaintiff lawyers.

Wherever you are located, and no matter how complex your case is, we offer caring, exceptional representation that you can depend upon. Learn how our award-winning legal team can be of service to you.

If you sustained an injury in a car or other vehicular accident, you can seek damages from the person or company responsible. We have helped clients recover reimbursement for medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation, and more.

Accidents Caused by Auto Defects

In a perfect world, car manufacturers would never place profits above safety. However, time and again, we have seen them make the wrong choice—and seen its tragic impact on people’s lives. In a rush to get their products to market, car companies make mistakes, take shortcuts, or turn a blind eye to dangers in the design or manufacturing processes. The consequences can be deadly.

Auto product liability cases we have experience with include:

Wrongful Death in an Auto Accident

Car accidents can not only result in serious injury but are also the leading cause of death in the United States. If your loved one was killed in a collision, you have the right to pursue compensation from the negligent party with a wrongful death claim. We can help you identify damages including:

  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of companionship
  • Funeral expenses

While a settlement cannot do anything for your grief, it can help you find financial stability during a tragic time. We hope it can help you find peace of mind as well.

Holding wrongdoers accountable for their actions is important in any society. We have litigated countless wrongful death cases for the surviving family members of those who lost their lives in car accidents. We believe this is one of the most important aspects of our occupation and we work tirelessly to do everything we can for our clients.

Contact an Experienced Car Accident Lawyer Today!

If you’ve been involved in an accident, after you seek medical attention, you will need to file a claim with the at-fault party’s insurer. An adjuster will reach out to you soon after to discuss your accident. It’s important to have a lawyer to protect your interests before they call.

Car Accident FAQs

What to Expect During Your Car Accident Case

  • Q:Why Do I Need an Attorney?

    A:Saying the wrong thing to an insurance adjuster could leave them an opening to shift blame for the accident to you. While unfortunate, it is true that countless drivers end up paying for their own repairs and medical bills after accidents that were not their fault because they try to handle the claims process without a lawyer. We can watch out for any attempts to blame you for someone else’s mistakes and fight back.

  • Q:Do I Really Need to See a Doctor? What If I Feel Completely Fine?

    A:After an accident, it’s important to see a doctor for a few reasons. First, because the adrenaline in your system may keep you from noticing aches and pains. Second, sometimes what seems like a minor wound is actually a sign of a serious internal injury that needs immediate treatment. Third, having a professional evaluation and a medical record is essential for your claim. The value of your case will depend on your maximum medical improvement (MMI), or the point at which your conditions and injuries can no longer expect to improve. A doctor can help identify what MMI will look like for you. Their advice can help you establish how much monetary compensation you will need for your recovery and future related medical issues.

  • Q:How Long Will My Case Take?

    A:The timeline of your case depends on the other party’s willingness to work with us. While investigating the accident and gathering and presenting evidence takes time, the majority of the claims process is spent negotiating or otherwise trying to convince the insurer to pay up. We know a quick resolution benefits you, so we will always do what we can to speed your case up. In the end, your case may be closed within two months if the other party will agree to settle. For complex cases that go to court, you should expect the process to take at least a year.

  • Q:Will My Case Go to Trial?

    A:If you are hesitating to file a claim because you don’t want to go to court, we want to reassure you that only a small percentage of accident claims go to trial. Before filing a lawsuit, we will do our best to negotiate a fair settlement so you can get the compensation you need quickly. However, our Denver car accident lawyers prepare every case we take as if it will go to trial. This provides us with leverage during negotiations and, if the other party does not make a settlement offer you are happy with, means we are ready to keep fighting for you. A trial by jury is the last step in a long lawsuit process, meaning the other party may come to the table with a fair settlement before we reach that stage. If this does not happen, we want you to be assured our team has your back. We will handle all the procedural elements and represent you during litigation.

  • Q:What Should I Do After a Car Crash?

    A:The aftermath of a car accident can be chaotic and confusing. Remember these tips to help you stay in control of the situation:


    Check for injuries and call for medical help. The first priority after any accident should be seeking medical attention for yourself and others. You should be checked out by medical professionals on the scene and follow up with your doctor afterward. Some injuries, such as whiplash, are not apparent for 24-48 hours after the accident.

    Call the police. One of the best ways to record an accurate and immediate account of what happened is to give that information to the police. When you talk to the investigating officer on the scene, he or she will record that in the police report. It is best to record information when it is freshest in your mind, immediately following the event.

    Take pictures of the scene. If you have the ability to take pictures at the scene of the accident, then use your cell phone or camera to document damage to the vehicle, your visible injuries, and the general scene of the accident.

    Exchange information with the other drivers. Make sure to write down the names, addresses, and phone numbers of everyone involved in the accident and any witnesses.

    Protect your rights. Call an experienced attorney as soon as possible after your accident to ensure that your rights are protected. Do not sign anything or settle with the insurance company until you have spoken with an attorney.
