Your Family's Advocates
Why Hire Michael T. Gibson, P.A.
as Your Orlando Pedestrian Accident 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 Pedestrian Accident 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.

Questions We Hear Every Day
Pedestrian accidents often result in substantial injuries. You do have several options to pursue compensation for your injuries and resulting medical bills, including: Personal injury protection insurance, health insurance, and a pedestrian accident claim.
A pedestrian accident claim following an Orlando pedestrian accident can help provide vital compensation. To establish how much compensation you deserve, however, an attorney will need to determine: Who caused your accident? What injuries did you suffer? How much time did you have to miss at work due to your injuries?
Most obviously, the driver who hit you may bear liability for your accident. However, in the case of a pedestrian accident, other parties may also share liability. An attorney will work to investigate all of the elements that led to your accident, including all parties who might share liability for your injuries.
Pedestrians must follow the same rules of the road that apply to drivers. You must, for example, pay attention to traffic signals and the flow of traffic. You cannot simply run out in the street at random.
Orlando drivers must follow all the rules of the road, including yielding to pedestrians in the road. A driver cannot rage and hit a pedestrian, even one who takes too long to cross the street.
Drivers must exercise care to decrease the risks of causing a pedestrian accident, even if the driver does not see a pedestrian in the road. That lack of focus, however, does not excuse a driver who causes an accident with a pedestrian, and he or she will still bear liability for such an accident.
Ideally, you want to contact an attorney as soon after your accident as possible. An attorney can start working to collect evidence immediately after your accident, and much of that evidence may prove more difficult to collect compensation if you let a substantial amount of time pass.
It takes time to settle accident claims, including pedestrian accident claims. You may need to go through several rounds of negotiation with the insurance company before arriving at a settlement agreement. You should expect it to take several weeks or months to receive compensation for your pedestrian accident.
Often, the liable driver's insurance company will contact you soon after an accident with a settlement offer. Unfortunately, many insurance companies will not issue a settlement offer that reflects the true cost of your injuries. If you accept that offer, you cannot claim future compensation from the insurance company.
If your child suffers injuries in an Orlando pedestrian accident, your family has the same right to compensation that you would have if you, as an adult, suffered serious injuries. Children deserve protection, and they have the right to compensation when they suffer serious injuries.
