Firm Information
Overview
The Law Office of Michael E. Gatto PC in Walnut Creek, California, represents individuals and families throughout the Bay Area and across California in serious personal injury and wrongful death matters. We handle cases involving car, truck, motorcycle, bus, bicycle and pedestrian accidents, as well as premises liability, defective products, medical malpractice, workplace and construction injuries, catastrophic injuries and wrongful death. Led by Michael E. Gatto, a veteran trial attorney with more than 24 years of experience and participation in over 100 jury trials, we prepare every case with the possibility of trial in mind.
When an unexpected injury changes a person's life, the resulting challenges can extend well beyond physical pain. We help clients pursue compensation after accidents involving motor vehicles, public transportation, dangerous properties, defective products and other sources of negligence. Our experience includes cases involving severe and life-altering injuries, including paralysis, amputation and disfigurement. We also represent families who have lost loved ones because of another party's negligence.
Mr. Gatto brings extensive courtroom experience to each matter he handles. He has represented clients in cases involving motor vehicle collisions, birth injuries, medical malpractice and end-of-life issues. His understanding of medical issues allows him to explain complex information clearly to insurance representatives, opposing counsel, mediators, judges and juries. He evaluates each case carefully and develops a strategy based on the circumstances and the client's needs.
Although many personal injury matters resolve through settlement, we do not approach settlement as the only possible outcome. Mr. Gatto prepares cases with trial in mind and is prepared to present a client's case before a jury when an appropriate resolution cannot be reached. We also keep our clients involved in important decisions, including whether to accept a proposed settlement.
Our work extends across a broad range of personal injury matters, including dog bites, trip-and-fall accidents, construction injuries, workplace incidents and transportation-related claims. We also handle medical malpractice and birth injury cases in which understanding the underlying medical issues is essential to presenting the claim effectively.
At the Law Office of Michael E. Gatto PC, we believe injured individuals deserve thorough preparation and committed representation. If you or a family member has suffered a serious injury or lost a loved one, contact our Walnut Creek office for a free initial consultation. We will listen to your circumstances, explain your legal options and work with you to determine the appropriate path forward.
