Ralph E. Gzik - Hillsboro, OR

Ralph Gzik is an Oregon personal injury attorney at Johnson Law, P.C., representing people injured in car crashes and other incidents caused by negligence. His practice focuses on Oregon car accident claims, including rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, disputed-fault cases, insurance coverage issues, Personal Injury Protection benefits, uninsured and underinsured motorist claims, and cases involving preexisting medical conditions, substantial treatment, or lost income.

Ralph approaches every personal injury case with detailed preparation and direct client communication. He investigates how the crash occurred and reviews the evidence insurers use to evaluate a claim, including police reports, photographs and videos, witness statements, vehicle damage, medical records, medical bills, wage-loss documentation, and applicable insurance policies. He also helps clients understand issues involving liability, medical causation, insurance coverage, claim valuation, and the documentation needed to present their injuries and losses accurately.

As an experienced civil litigator, Ralph is prepared to handle a case from the initial investigation and insurance claim through settlement negotiations and, when necessary, litigation. He develops an individualized strategy based on the client’s injuries, medical treatment, financial losses, insurance coverage, and personal objectives. Ralph believes clients should understand what is happening in their case, why particular steps are being taken, and what factors may affect the outcome.

Insurance claims can become especially challenging when an insurer disputes fault, questions whether treatment was necessary, points to a prior medical condition, or minimizes the effect an injury has had on the person’s work and daily life. Ralph works to identify those issues early, prepare the supporting evidence, and present each client’s claim clearly and persuasively. His goal is to help clients make informed decisions while pursuing full and fair compensation under Oregon law.

Ralph is licensed to practice in all Oregon state courts and in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. Before joining Johnson Law, P.C., he operated his own law practice and worked with the New Hampshire Department of Justice. Those experiences strengthened his skills in legal analysis, case preparation, negotiation, advocacy, and client service.
