At Gibson & Keith, we believe it’s always better to be safe than to be sorry.  Indeed, many of the people in our communities agree.  That’s why we develop rules that are designed to make our communities safer.  Unfortunately, there are some members of our society who disregard these rules when it’s inconvenient for them.  Sometimes, their failure to follow these rules is motivated by malice or greed.  When these bad actors don’t follow the rules, it puts us all in danger, and eventually, people get hurt because of it.

The purpose of our civil justice system is to compensate injured people for the harm caused by others.  The system holds wrongdoers accountable for their actions.  It emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility in American society.  This aspect of our civil justice system is what makes America the safest place to live in the entire world.  Juries in personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits act as the gatekeepers of our communities: they get to decide what risks are unacceptable, and they speak on behalf of us all when they decide what dangers our society will not tolerate.

Some law firms take every personal injury case that walks in their doors.  Their business models are based on heavy advertising and heavy volume.  When these law firms take your case, some of them are already eyeing a settlement - if push comes to shove, they have no desire to try your case to a jury.  Insurance adjusters and defense counsel know which attorneys are afraid or unwilling to try their cases, and as a result, those injured persons’ cases may settle for far less than what they deserve. Gibson & Keith is not one of those law firms.

We are very selective when deciding to take on cases for injured clients.  We won’t take your case unless we are willing to take it all the way to a jury trial and defend it on appeal if need be.   We would be doing you a disservice by taking your case if we weren’t prepared to commit all our time, energy and resources to it.  When we do recommend a settlement to our clients, it’s only after we are fully confident that we have maximized the value of your case and truly believe it’s a better decision than going to trial.  We will never pressure our clients to accept unreasonable lowball offers because we are unwilling to try their cases.

At Gibson & Keith, our attorneys have decades of combined experience handling all types of personal injury cases, including:
