Trusted Legal Help for Accident Victims in Tustin and Surrounding Areas

A serious injury can change every aspect of your life. One moment, everything is normal, the next, you're in pain, unable to work, and overwhelmed by mounting expenses. Medical bills, missed paychecks, and physical recovery can quickly become too much to handle on your own. When someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, California law allows you to seek compensation. But doing it alone can be risky and often unsuccessful.

That’s where I come in. I’m Gary A. Peterson, a Tustin personal injury attorney with over 30 years of legal experience, including more than two decades focused solely on injury cases. I understand what you’re going through and how to help you take control of your situation.

Why You Need an Experienced Personal Injury Attorney

When you’re injured, the law gives you the right to seek compensation, but insurance companies will do everything they can to pay as little as possible. Without legal representation, you may be offered a settlement that doesn’t even begin to cover your long-term costs. Worse, if your claim isn’t filed within California’s strict legal deadlines, you could lose your right to recover damages entirely.

Working with an experienced attorney ensures your case is handled properly from the beginning. I manage every aspect of your claim: investigation, communication with insurers, negotiations, and, when necessary, litigation. And when you hire my office, you work directly with me. I don’t hand your case to paralegals or junior associates. You deserve one-on-one attention and that’s exactly what I provide.

What You Can Recover

A successful personal injury claim can help ease the financial burden and support your recovery. Depending on the details of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses and hospital bills
  • Rehabilitation and ongoing treatment
  • Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Property damage
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement

In wrongful death cases, surviving family members may also recover funeral costs and loss of financial and emotional support.

Personalized Legal Support You Can Count On

If you’ve been injured through someone else’s negligence, you’re likely feeling overwhelmed, and with good reason. The physical pain is compounded by the emotional and financial toll. You may be unable to work, watching bills pile up while trying to manage your recovery.

I know how difficult this time can be. That’s why I offer not just legal representation, but personalized support. You’ll never feel like just another case. When you call my office, you talk directly to me. I handle every detail personally to make sure your case gets the attention it deserves, and the results you need to move forward.
