Personal injury

Accidents happen, but those caused by reckless or harmful actions may entitle you to compensation.  You may be able to recover from your injury, but the ensuing expenses can do the most harm.  With the experienced representation and effective trial strategy of Richard M. Gutierrez, you may be able to recover compensation for your medical bills, recuperation costs, job retraining, loss of services or companionship, and the pain and suffering of your accident.

At our law firm, we listen to your situation and investigate all the facts.  We begin building your case the moment we accept your case.  Our strategy is to create a solid, trial-ready case and to negotiate until the best possible settlement is reached.  If there is no reasonable agreement in store, we go to trial.

If your health or safety has been robbed of you by another person's negligence, wrongful action, or intentional harm, you have the right to receive just compensation.  You need a skilled trial lawyer to fight for you.  Our law firm has successfully fought and won the battles for our clients' rights and compensation involving the following personal injuries:

  • Auto accidents
