It’s understandably difficult to know whom to trust following a personal injury. If you or a loved one has been hurt either physically or psychologically, as a result of the wrongdoing of another person or company, contact our team of personal injury attorneys at Gerling Law.


This is a specialized legal field and you want to be sure that you work closely and are represented by a lawyer who has experience in this area. The primary objective of personal injury lawyers is to restore you, the injured party, back to the same condition you were before the incident and to discourage others from committing the same offense.


It is essential to act quickly following a personal injury. A lawsuit must be filed before the deadline set by law, also known as the statute of limitations.
At Gerling Law, our attorneys understand the urgency of these cases. They will immediately handle everything from consultation all the way through any appeals that may occur. These professionals support you by:

  • investigating claims
  • gathering evidence
  • submitting paperwork
  • interviewing and deposing witnesses
  • negotiating a settlement or preparing for trial
  • and perhaps most importantly, offering support and guidance throughout the entire legal process

Don’t Settle Without an Attorney


Too often, anger, pain, frustration, and even fear may impact your ability to see the facts of your case clearly. A skilled attorney will remain objective during the entire process.


In the majority of personal injury cases, compensation is obtained through negotiation instead of a trial. A qualified attorney will use their many years of experience to obtain the best possible settlement.

If a trial is necessary, a personal injury lawyer will stand by your side and represent you in court to fight for all possible compensation for your injuries.


“The experience of our legal team is exceptional,” states Gayle Gerling Pettinga. “For over five decades, Gerling Law has pursued justice and fair compensation for people who have been injured by someone’s actions or neglect.”


If you believe your injuries are someone else’s fault, contact Gerling Law in the Tri-State area to discuss your legal options. You can meet with one of our attorneys at our locations in Evansville, Indianapolis, Louisville, or Owensboro team for a free consultation by calling 888-437-5464 or by completing our free case review form. We look forward to working with you!
