Meet Gimbel Law Firm, your Workers’ Compensation advocates.

If you have suffered a serious injury at work you may be entitled to benefits and compensation.

Fighting for workers

Since 2016 Gimbel Law Firm has been fighting for injured workers throughout Northern California. We tailor a legal strategy for each individual client--there is no one size fits all approach. We have a dedicated team who works tirelessly for each and every client, ensuring you receive every benefit, protection, and defense available under the law.

– Peter Gimbel, Owner / Founder

“Ever since I was a kid, I always rooted for the underdog. The law is supposed to treat all people equally, however, it often doesn’t unless you have a strong advocate on your side. Injured workers often do not know how to navigate a complex insurance bureaucracy that is designed to limit care and benefits so that the insurance companies can make a profit. I know how overwhelming it can be to try and keep your finances in order while trying to fight for medical treatment and benefits from an insurance company that does not care about you. I fight for regular people who find themselves in difficult situations and have devoted my career to helping the little guy succeed.”

What people are saying

  • “I can’t say enough good things about my attorney Peter Gimbel. After my injury case was denied by Worker’s Comp insurance I contacted Peter and everything changed. I got the health care that I needed as well as the compensation that I was entitled to. Peter was the advocate that I needed to guide me throughout the legal process, answer my questions, and get the best outcome.”

    — Denise, Workers' Compensation Client

  • “This review is way overdue. I was referred to Peter halfway through my workers’ comp claim. After months of back and forth with the WC claims adjuster, who made me feel intimidated and made me feel I didn’t have many choices, I retained Peter. He immediately took action and guided me through every step of this claim. He educated me and made sure I knew what my options and rights were. I appreciate his staff for always taking my calls and making sure I got an answer to my questions. They are knowledgeable and great at what they do!”

    —Helen, Workers' Compensation Client

  • “I would like to thank Mr. Gimbel with his assistance with my case, every step of the way he was there to answer my questions as well as his team. He always went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with the result. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney.”

    — Christopher, Workers' Compensation Client

  • “I am thankful that I was referred to Mr. Gimbel to handle my workman’s comp claim. Mr. Gimbel navigated the claim process with care for my well being and concern that I was compensated fairly. Upon filing my workman’s comp claim I was fearful and intimidated by the process. However, with Mr. Gimbel representing me, the situation worked out much better for me and my family than I could have managed alone.”

    — Elana, Workers' Compensation Client

  • “Peter Gimbel is a very knowledgeable and hardworking lawyer who will work on your case until it is settled to your satisfaction. He will explain your options and will ask you for your agreement before he proceeds whenever there are options available. He will help you all the way to ensure you get treated fairly and promptly and ensure you get the best possible medical care when you are injured. I recommend Peter highly.”

    — Alex, Workers' Compensation Client

  • “Peter M. Gimbel has played a crucial roll in my workers compensation process. He answered all my questions and helped me with his unparalleled knowledge of the law.

    — Odette, Workers' Compensation Client

    — Albert, Workers' Compensation Client

  • “Mr. Gimbel is a great lawyer who genuinely cares about your best interest. For my workers compensation case he took care of everything from the start I basically didn’t have to worry. He got me the treatment I needed for my injury and the physical therapy so that I could begin my recovery. In the end he got me a great settlement and very swiftly.”

    — Nick, Workers' Compensation Client

  • “He helped me clean a mess my last lawyer did and got a reasonable settlement ...I asked him to get me enough money to start up a tow company ...he did just that... I’m three years in business now couldn’t be blessed more than I am..a great lawyer I highly recommend him with out a doubt. Thanks Mr Gimbel.”

    — Prashil, Workers' Compensation Client

  • “Mr. Gimbel is highly professional, considerate and punctual in his legal practice. Throughout our case Mr. Gimbel is extremely proactive at setting up meetings that involve both my family and the defendant. Mr. Gimbel is also a very honest attorney. During our meetings he had always explained the tiniest details and restrictions in a candid manner which made seemingly difficult terms and concepts well-understood after his explanation. I highly recommend Mr. Gimbel to anyone seeking help with Workers Compensation cases.”

    — Stanley, Workers' Compensation Client

  • “I sincerely want to thank Peter Gimbel and his staff for helping me with my workers comp case. He really took the time to explain everything that was going on in great detail and answered all my questions. Even when I called or emailed, I always got a prompt answer. His attention to detail is impressive. It was obvious he’s extremely adept and experienced at handling injuries like mine (neck, back, shoulder and hip) and got me the best award possible. Do yourself a favor and call this man asap, just talking with him, you will see what I did.”

    — Eric, Workers' Compensation Client

  • “I don’t know where I’d be right now without Peter. He did the heavy lifting while I worked at getting better. Peter, you’re a rockstar, thanks.”
