• What we handle: personal injury, wrongful death, and civil rights cases, including car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian crashes, falls on unsafe property, dog bites, brain injuries, and sexual abuse claims.

If you or someone in your family was hurt because someone else was careless, request a free case evaluation or call 310-750-4149. Every case is different, and past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

How Gammill Law Started

David Gammill spent seven years as a Deputy District Attorney, trying serious felony cases to verdict. He then spent three years as a lead trial attorney at a Los Angeles civil rights and injury firm. In 2018 he opened Gammill Law Accident & Injury Lawyers in the South Bay, where he has lived since 2009, to represent injured people and grieving families in the communities he calls home. You can read his full background on his attorney profile.

The firm was built on a simple premise. Insurance companies and large defendants settle cases for what they believe a jury would award, and they know which law firms will actually take a case to trial. A firm that prepares every case for a courtroom changes the price of every case it handles, including the ones that never see a courtroom.

What We Handle

Gammill Law is a personal injury, wrongful death, and civil rights firm. We do not handle every kind of legal problem, and if yours is outside what we do, we will tell you and point you toward a lawyer who can help. Within our practice, the cases we handle most often are:

• Car accidents, including hit-and-run, drunk driving, rear-end, and speeding crashes.
• Truck and commercial vehicle crashes, where the trucking company, not just the driver, is usually responsible.
• Motorcycle crashes and pedestrian injuries.
• Bus and transit injuries, including claims against government agencies with their own short deadlines.
• Slip-and-fall and unsafe property cases.
• Dog bites, where California holds the owner strictly liable.
• Brain injuries and other catastrophic injuries.
• Wrongful death claims brought by surviving family members.
• Civil rights cases, including police excessive force and other violations of the Bane Act.
• Sexual abuse and assault claims against the people and institutions responsible.

For the deadlines and rules that apply to these cases, see our plain-English guides on the California Injury Laws Explained page, or start with the Torrance personal injury attorney page.

Why a Trial Firm Matters

Most injury cases settle. The settlement value depends on what would happen at trial. Adjusters and defense lawyers track which firms take cases to a jury and which ones do not, and they price their offers accordingly. Gammill Law prepares every case as if it will be tried, from the first phone call, so that the other side has to price it that way. Other lawyers refer cases to David when those cases are headed for trial, and he is regularly brought in as trial counsel on matters another firm has been handling.

That approach does not mean every case goes to court. Most do not. It means that when a fair offer comes, we can tell you honestly whether to take it, and when one does not come, we are ready. Every case is different, and past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Results

Gammill Law has recovered more than $100 million for California clients across verdicts and settlements. Separately, the firm’s results include a $21.1 million wrongful death verdict, a $16 million school sexual abuse verdict, and a $12 million whistleblower retaliation verdict. Each of those figures comes from a specific case with its own facts, and no result is a promise about any other case. The full list is on our case results page, and what past clients have said is on our reviews page.

Our Team

Our attorneys bring more than 40 years of combined legal experience to every case we take. When you hire Gammill Law, you work directly with David Gammill and the lawyers on your case, not a rotating cast of case handlers. Meet the attorneys.

How We Work With Clients

David runs the firm on three rules, in his own words: “Treat every client like family. Prepare every case for trial. Never back down from a fight.” In practice that means you talk to your lawyer, not a call center; the firm builds every case as if a jury will decide it; and nobody here is looking for the quick, small settlement that ends the file.

There are no upfront fees. The firm is paid a percentage of the recovery, and only if it recovers, under a written contingency fee agreement that follows California law. If you want to understand exactly how that works before you call, read our guide to no-win, no-fee representation.
