Why Hire Michael T. Gibson, P.A.
as Your Orlando Wrongful Death Lawyer
Not every firm is built to take on a serious injury case and the insurers behind it. Some are too small to fund a fight all the way to trial. Others are so large that your case becomes a file number. Michael T. Gibson, P.A. is built right in the middle, with the resources and trial commitment to stand up to the insurance companies and the personal attention to treat you like family. Here is how we compare:
Small Firms
Can't fund a week-long trial that runs $80K to $100K. Don't have the team to build the case. Insurance companies know they won't follow through, so they dare them. Your demand letter goes to the bottom of the pile.
Our Hybrid Model Firm
Thirty-plus professionals. The resources to fund six-figure trial costs. Every case trial-ready at all times. But every client still knows their lawyer and case manager by name. Personal attention. Real firepower. No bluffing.
Big Firms
Clients are numbers, lost in the shuffle. Can't reach their lawyer. Don't know who is managing their file. The volume machine runs, but nobody is watching your case the way you need.
Treated Like Family.
Fought Like It Was Personal.
An Orlando Wrongful Death Law Firm Built to Win
Insurance companies move fast after a serious crash. You need a firm that moves faster to protect the evidence before it disappears.
With $200M+ recovered, a team of 30+ legal professionals, and a 17-year track record of taking cases all the way, we change the math for every adjuster who sees our name on a demand letter.
Every client gets a named attorney, a dedicated case manager, and a team that answers the phone. Tell us what happened and we will tell you where you stand.
A Single Mom. A Head-On Collision. A System Built to Break Her.
Michael opened his Orlando personal injury law firm after seeing his own family in need of legal help.
In December of 2000, Michael Gibson’s mother was hit head-on on a six-lane highway in Clearwater, Florida. She was a single mom raising two kids on a teacher’s salary. The family didn’t have money. The mortgage was due. The insurance company knew it.
At the settlement conference, the then-largest insurance company in the nation offered her half of what her case was worth.
Her lawyer refused to let that happen. He fought until she received every dollar the case was worth — and the surgery she needed to recover.
Michael dropped out of college to help his mom with bills. A year later, he walked into a personal injury firm and spent the next four years doing everything you could do without a law license. It was the first time in his life something fit.
He built Michael T. Gibson, P.A. on that foundation. Seventeen years later, the fire hasn’t dimmed.
