Numerous eight-, seven-, and six-figure verdicts
Beyond the results above, Gavin has obtained numerous additional jury verdicts in wrongful death, facility negligence, premises liability, and catastrophic injury cases, including verdicts above the defendant's insurance policy limits. Juries in Orange County, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, Kern, and Contra Costa counties have heard his cases.
These results share a pattern. Insurers made offers based on what they thought the family would accept. Gavin prepared every case as if it would be tried, and when the offer did not reflect the loss, he tried it.
What this means for your case
No lawyer can promise a result, and every case turns on its own facts. What a family can control is whether their lawyer is prepared, and willing, to take the case in front of a jury. That willingness is what moves insurers. Learn more about Gavin, see why he is known as a trial lawyer, or read how California wrongful death claims work.
