Been Injured in Torrance? You’re Not Alone.

After an accident, you’re facing mounting medical bills, lost wages, and insurance companies trying to lowball your claim. You deserve justice and full compensation for your injuries. The reality is that insurance companies are in the business of paying as little as possible, and they have entire teams dedicated to minimizing your settlement. Without experienced legal representation, you’re at a severe disadvantage.

When insurance companies deny your claim or offer inadequate compensation, we fight aggressive insurance tactics and force them to pay what you’re owed. If medical bills are piling up and you’re worried about how to afford treatment, we can arrange care with top doctors who treat on a lien basis, meaning no upfront costs while we recover all your medical expenses. If you can’t work and your income has stopped, we fight to recover not just your lost wages but also your future earning capacity and the full settlement you need to move forward. Many injury victims don’t know what their case is truly worth, which is why our free case evaluation is so valuable. We often find that claims are worth three to five times what insurance companies initially offer, and we’ll make sure you understand your case’s full value before making any decisions.

Torrance Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Gammill Law represents injury victims throughout Torrance and the South Bay area in all types of accident and injury claims. Our experienced attorneys have the knowledge and resources to handle even the most complex cases, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.

Car Accidents in Torrance

If you’ve been injured on the 405, Pacific Coast Highway, or Torrance Boulevard, our team is ready to help. We handle all types of motor vehicle accidents, including rear-end collisions, T-bone accidents, hit-and-runs, and multi-vehicle crashes. California car accident victims can recover compensation for medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and vehicle damage. Our attorneys know how to investigate accidents thoroughly, gather crucial evidence, and build compelling cases that force insurance companies to pay fair settlements.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Property owners in Torrance have a legal duty to maintain safe premises for visitors and customers. If you slipped on a wet floor at Del Amo Fashion Center, tripped on broken or uneven pavement, or fell due to poor lighting or other hazardous conditions, you may have a valid premises liability claim. We hold negligent property owners accountable for injuries caused by their failure to maintain safe conditions or warn visitors of known dangers.

Workplace Injuries

Whether you were injured on the job at Torrance Memorial Medical Center, in Honda’s offices, or at a construction site, you may be entitled to significant compensation. While workers’ compensation provides some benefits, you may also have a personal injury claim if third-party negligence was involved. Our attorneys understand the complex interplay between workers’ compensation and personal injury law, and we’ll pursue every available avenue for compensation on your behalf.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians struck by vehicles in Torrance often suffer catastrophic, life-altering injuries. California law provides strong protections for pedestrians, and we hold negligent drivers fully accountable for the harm they cause. Whether you were hit in a crosswalk, parking lot, or along the roadside, we’ll fight to secure compensation for your medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost income, and the physical and emotional trauma you’ve endured.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents frequently result in severe injuries due to the lack of protection riders have compared to occupants of enclosed vehicles. Insurance companies often try to blame motorcyclists for accidents, relying on unfair biases and stereotypes. We fight this prejudice aggressively, proving driver negligence and demonstrating that you deserve full compensation for your injuries. Our attorneys understand the unique dynamics of motorcycle crashes and know how to build winning cases.

Truck Accidents

Commercial truck crashes are among the most devastating accidents on California roads. These cases involve complex federal regulations, multiple potentially liable parties including trucking companies and cargo loaders, and aggressive insurance defense teams. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling truck accident cases. We know how to obtain crucial evidence like driver logs, maintenance records, and black box data before it disappears, and we’re not intimidated by large trucking corporations and their insurers.

Dog Bites

California has strict liability laws for dog bites, meaning owners are responsible for attacks that occur in public spaces or when the victim is lawfully on private property. Dog bite injuries can be physically and emotionally traumatic, especially for children. We help victims recover compensation for medical treatment, reconstructive surgery, psychological counseling, and the lasting trauma these attacks cause.

Wrongful Death

If your loved one died due to someone else’s negligence in Torrance, we understand the profound grief and financial strain your family is experiencing. While no amount of money can bring back your loved one, a wrongful death claim can provide compensation for funeral and burial costs, loss of financial support, loss of companionship and guidance, and the emotional suffering your family has endured. We handle these sensitive cases with compassion while fighting aggressively for the justice your family deserves.


Why Torrance Residents Choose Gammill Law

When you’re choosing a personal injury attorney, you need a firm with proven results, genuine commitment to clients, and the resources to take on powerful insurance companies. Gammill Law delivers on all fronts.

We Maximize Your Settlement

Our average settlement is 3.5 times higher than initial insurance offers because we know what your case is truly worth and we fight for every dollar you deserve. We don’t accept lowball offers just to close cases quickly. Instead, we build compelling evidence, consult with medical experts, calculate all current and future damages, and negotiate from a position of strength.

No Fees Unless We Win

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay absolutely nothing upfront or out of pocket. We only get paid when you get paid, taking our fee from your final settlement or verdict. This arrangement allows everyone to have access to top-tier legal representation regardless of their financial situation, and it means we’re fully invested in maximizing your recovery.

Trial-Tested Litigators

While most personal injury firms settle cases quickly to avoid the courtroom, we’re prepared to take your case to trial if necessary. Insurance companies know our reputation as skilled trial attorneys, and this knowledge motivates them to offer substantially higher settlements to avoid facing us in court. Our willingness to litigate when needed consistently results in better outcomes for our clients.

Available 24/7

Accidents don’t happen on a schedule, and neither does our availability. You can reach our team anytime, day or night, including weekends and holidays. When you call, you’ll speak with a real person who can help, not an answering service. We respond immediately to preserve critical evidence, file necessary paperwork, and begin building your case before crucial details are lost.

Personal Attention from Experienced Attorneys

When you hire Gammill Law, you’ll work directly with an experienced attorney from start to finish, not a paralegal or case manager. We treat every client like family, return calls within hours, and keep you informed throughout the entire process. You’ll always know what’s happening with your case and have direct access to the attorney handling your claim.

Medical Care Coordination

We understand that many injury victims need immediate medical treatment but worry about the cost. We’ve built relationships with top doctors and medical specialists throughout the Torrance area who treat our clients on a lien basis, meaning there’s no upfront payment required. You get the treatment you need now, and we recover all medical expenses as part of your settlement.

How It Works: Your Path to Compensation

Getting the compensation you deserve starts with a simple phone call. Our process is designed to be straightforward and stress-free, allowing you to focus on your recovery while we handle all legal matters.

First, call us for a free consultation. During this no-obligation case review, we’ll listen carefully to your story, ask questions to understand all the details, evaluate the strength of your claim, and explain your legal options in plain English. We’ll give you an honest assessment of your case’s value and what you can expect throughout the process. This consultation is completely free, and there’s no pressure to hire us.

Once you decide to hire Gammill Law, we take over completely. You won’t have to deal with insurance adjusters, fill out complicated paperwork, or worry about legal deadlines. We immediately begin investigating your accident, gathering police reports, medical records, witness statements, and any other evidence that strengthens your case. We handle all communication with insurance companies, protecting you from their tactics designed to get you to say something that hurts your claim. We consult with medical experts, accident reconstruction specialists, and other professionals as needed to build the strongest possible case.

Throughout the process, we fight for maximum value. We calculate the full extent of your damages, including not just your current medical bills and lost wages, but also future medical needs, long-term disability, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering. We negotiate aggressively with insurance companies, armed with solid evidence and a deep understanding of your case’s true worth. If insurers refuse to offer fair compensation, we’re fully prepared to file a lawsuit and take your case to trial. Our reputation as skilled trial attorneys often motivates insurance companies to increase their offers substantially.

Finally, you get paid. When we secure a settlement or win a verdict at trial, you receive your compensation quickly. Only after you’re paid do we deduct our contingency fee from the recovery. We provide a clear, detailed accounting of all expenses and ensure you understand exactly what you’re receiving.


What Is Your Torrance Injury Case Worth?

Every personal injury case is unique, with its own specific facts, injuries, and circumstances. However, California law allows injury victims to recover several types of compensation designed to make you whole after an accident caused by someone else’s negligence.

Economic damages compensate you for financial losses you can document with bills and receipts. This includes all medical expenses, both past and future. We recover costs for emergency room treatment, hospital stays, surgeries, doctor visits, physical therapy, rehabilitation, prescription medications, medical equipment like wheelchairs or crutches, and any future medical care you’ll need. We also recover lost wages for all time you missed from work due to your injuries, as well as lost earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job or reduce your ability to earn income in the future. If your vehicle or other property was damaged in the accident, we recover those costs as well.

Non-economic damages compensate you for losses that don’t come with a receipt but are equally real and devastating. Pain and suffering compensation addresses the physical pain you’ve endured and will continue to experience. Emotional distress and mental anguish damages recognize the psychological impact of your injuries, including anxiety, depression, and trauma. If your injuries have permanently changed your life by preventing you from enjoying activities you once loved, you’re entitled to compensation for loss of enjoyment of life. Permanent disability or disfigurement that affects your appearance or physical capabilities warrants additional compensation. If you’re married, your spouse may be entitled to loss of consortium damages for the impact your injuries have had on your relationship.

In cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct, California law allows for punitive damages designed to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior. These are most common in drunk driving accidents, cases involving intentional harm, or situations where the defendant showed reckless disregard for the safety of others.

Insurance companies will lowball you. They count on injury victims not knowing what their cases are truly worth, offering quick settlements that barely cover medical bills while ignoring pain, suffering, and future needs. Our free case evaluation reveals your claim’s true value, often showing that your case is worth three to five times the initial offer. Don’t settle for less than you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions About Torrance Personal Injury Claims

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in California?

California’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury. This means you must file a lawsuit within two years, or you lose your right to pursue compensation forever. For claims against government entities, such as when a city vehicle causes an accident or you’re injured on government property, you must file an administrative claim within just six months. These deadlines are strict, and courts rarely grant exceptions. Time is absolutely critical in personal injury cases, not just because of legal deadlines but also because evidence disappears, witnesses forget details, and delays make cases harder to prove. Contact us immediately to protect your right to compensation.

What if I was partially at fault for my accident in Torrance?

California follows a legal principle called pure comparative negligence, which is actually very favorable to injury victims. Under this rule, you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the accident. Your compensation is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found to be 20% at fault in a case worth $100,000, you would receive $80,000. If you’re 40% at fault, you’d receive $60,000. Even if you’re 90% at fault, you can still recover 10% of your damages. Insurance companies will try to use comparative negligence against you by exaggerating your role in causing the accident. They’ll twist your words and use any statement you make to increase your fault percentage. This is why it’s crucial to have an experienced attorney who knows how to prove the other party’s greater negligence and minimize any fault attributed to you.

How much does it cost to hire Gammill Law?

Nothing upfront and zero out of pocket. We work exclusively on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases, which means we only get paid if we win your case. There are no retainer fees, no hourly charges, and no bills for our time. Our fee comes as a percentage of your settlement or verdict, and we only collect this fee after you’ve been paid. If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing. This arrangement makes high-quality legal representation accessible to everyone regardless of their financial situation. It also ensures that our interests are perfectly aligned with yours. The more compensation we recover for you, the more we earn, which motivates us to fight for every dollar you deserve. You risk absolutely nothing by calling us today.

Should I accept the insurance company’s settlement offer?

No, not without consulting an attorney first. Insurance companies are businesses focused on protecting their bottom line, not on treating you fairly. Their initial settlement offers are typically 20% to 40% of a claim’s true value. Adjusters count on injury victims not knowing their rights, being desperate for money to pay medical bills, and being intimidated by the claims process. They pressure you to accept quick settlements before you fully understand the extent of your injuries or your long-term needs. Once you accept a settlement and sign a release, you cannot pursue additional compensation later, even if your injuries turn out to be far more serious than initially thought, even if complications develop, and even if you discover the accident caused injuries that weren’t immediately apparent. Our free consultation reveals what your case is actually worth and protects you from accepting an unfairly low settlement. We’ve seen too many people accept inadequate offers only to face financial devastation when their settlement money runs out and they’re still injured and unable to work.

How long does a personal injury case take in Torrance?

Most personal injury cases settle within six to eighteen months from the date you hire an attorney. Simple cases with clear liability, adequate insurance coverage, and relatively minor injuries may resolve in three to six months. More complex cases involving severe injuries, disputed fault, multiple parties, inadequate insurance, or litigation can take one to three years. Several factors affect the timeline. We never rush your case because settling too early often means accepting less than full compensation. We wait until you reach maximum medical improvement, meaning your condition has stabilized and doctors can assess any permanent injuries or long-term needs. This ensures we don’t settle before knowing the full extent of your damages. We also need time to thoroughly investigate the accident, gather all relevant evidence, consult with experts, and calculate a complete damages assessment. If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, filing a lawsuit and going through discovery adds time but often results in significantly higher compensation. While we work as efficiently as possible to get you compensation quickly, we never sacrifice the quality of your case or the amount of your recovery just to close the file. Your financial security is more important than a quick settlement.

What should I bring to my free consultation?

Bring any documentation you have, but don’t delay calling us if you don’t have everything. Helpful documents include the police report or accident report, all medical records and bills related to your injuries, photographs of your injuries, photographs of the accident scene, photographs of vehicle or property damage, insurance correspondence and policy information, contact information for witnesses, your own notes about how the accident happened and how your injuries have affected your life, pay stubs or tax returns if you’ve missed work, and any other documents related to the accident. However, if you don’t have all of these items, don’t worry. We can obtain police reports, medical records, and most other documentation during our investigation. The most important thing is to call us as soon as possible after your accident so we can begin protecting your rights and preserving evidence before it disappears.

Will my case go to trial?

Most personal injury cases settle before trial, with approximately 95% resolving through negotiation. Trials are expensive, time-consuming, and unpredictable for both sides, which motivates insurance companies to settle when faced with strong evidence and an attorney prepared to try the case. However, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial from day one. This preparation is what makes our settlements successful. We conduct thorough investigations, gather compelling evidence, consult with expert witnesses, calculate comprehensive damages, and build trial-ready cases. Insurance companies know our reputation as skilled trial attorneys, and they know we’re not bluffing when we say we’ll take a case to court. This knowledge convinces them to offer substantially higher settlements than they would to attorneys who always settle. If an insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we’re fully prepared to file a lawsuit, go through discovery, and present your case to a jury. We’ll never recommend accepting an inadequate settlement just to avoid trial. The decision to settle or proceed to trial is always yours, and we’ll provide honest advice about which option serves your best interests.

Can I still file a claim if the other driver didn’t have insurance?

Yes, you have options even when the at-fault party is uninsured. You may be able to recover through your own uninsured motorist coverage or underinsured motorist coverage. California drivers often carry this protection without realizing it. UM/UIM coverage is designed precisely for situations where the at-fault party either has no insurance or doesn’t have enough insurance to cover your damages. We’ll carefully review your insurance policy to identify all available coverage. If you have UM/UIM coverage, we’ll file a claim with your own insurance company to recover your damages. While you might worry about your rates increasing, California law prohibits insurance companies from raising your premiums or canceling your policy based solely on an uninsured motorist claim. In cases where there’s no insurance coverage available, we can also pursue the at-fault party’s personal assets through a civil lawsuit, place liens on their property, and garnish their wages. Our attorneys will explore every possible avenue for compensation and recommend the strategy most likely to result in your financial recovery.


Don’t Wait: Evidence Disappears and Deadlines Expire

Every day you wait to contact an attorney weakens your personal injury case in significant ways. Witnesses forget critical details about what they saw, and as time passes their memories become less reliable and less useful for proving your case. Video footage from security cameras, dash cams, and traffic cameras gets deleted or recorded over, often within just days or weeks of an accident. Physical evidence disappears from accident scenes as vehicles get repaired, roads are resurfaced, and conditions change. The longer you wait to seek medical treatment, the more insurance companies will argue that your injuries aren’t serious or weren’t caused by the accident. Your own medical records become less definitive about the connection between the accident and your injuries as time passes. Insurance companies use any delay in hiring an attorney against you, suggesting you must not have been badly hurt or that you’re trying to fabricate a claim.

The statute of limitations is an absolute deadline. If you miss it, even by a single day, you lose your right to pursue compensation forever, no matter how strong your case is or how severely you were injured. The sooner we start working on your case, the stronger it becomes and the better your chances of maximizing your recovery.

The sooner we start, the stronger your case becomes.
