Practice Areas

Focused Exclusively on Personal Injury Law

At the Law Office of Gary A. Peterson, personal injury law is not just part of what I do, it’s the sole focus of my practice. I represent individuals who have suffered physical, emotional, or psychological harm due to someone else’s negligence or recklessness. Whether caused by careless action or a failure to act, these injuries often have life-altering consequences.

My role as your attorney is to prove that your injuries were the direct and foreseeable result of another party’s misconduct. I work to build a strong case that establishes liability and seeks full financial compensation for what you’ve lost.

Why Personal Injury Law Matters

Personal injury isn’t always just a temporary inconvenience. In many cases, it leaves people with chronic pain, permanent disability, or the inability to earn a living. Some victims lose mobility, independence, or even their lives. While no legal outcome can undo the harm you’ve experienced, the justice system provides a pathway to financial recovery, and with it, the stability needed to heal and move forward.

With over 20 years of focused experience in personal injury law and more than 30 years as a practicing attorney, I’ve helped clients rebuild their lives by holding negligent parties accountable. My commitment is simple: I pursue the compensation you need so you can focus on getting better, not battling insurance companies or worrying about bills.

Types of Cases I Handle

I handle a full range of personal injury cases, including but not limited to:

• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle crashes
• Bicycle accidents
• Pedestrian injuries
• Slip and fall accidents
• Dog bites
• Premises liability
• Wrongful death

Although I handle all types of injury claims, a significant portion of my work involves automobile-related cases. These accidents, particularly those involving motorcycles, pedestrians, or cyclists, are often the most devastating, and they require a precise, experienced legal approach.

No Upfront Costs. No Recovery, No Fee.

Every case I take is handled on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront. I advance all necessary costs to file your claim, investigate your case, and hire expert witnesses when needed. You only pay legal fees and expenses if I recover compensation on your behalf.

When you call my office, you speak with me directly, not a junior associate or a case manager. Your case gets my personal attention, because you deserve an attorney who knows your name, your story, and what’s at stake.
