Gail W. Richardson, Esq. is an accomplished Senior Attorney with over twenty years of experience in personal injury litigation. Throughout her tenure, Gail has successfully represented clients in both federal and state courts. She has extensive expertise in a broad range of legal matters, including motor vehicle accidents, premise and product liability, catastrophic injuries, and many other areas in between. Throughout her career, she has represented countless clients in various legal cases related to these and other practice areas. Gail’s work has resulted in numerous noteworthy victories, including securing a $2,250,000 settlement in a traumatic brain injury case and a $2,200,000 settlement in a catastrophic injury case.  

Gail found her passion as a plaintiff’s attorney, where she fights for justice on behalf of those who have been injured. Her extensive work involves taking on insurance companies and corporations who frequently attempt to reject such claims. Gail has a sincere devotion to litigating cases that involve catastrophic injury, especially those that involve traumatic brain injury. This dedication stems from her personal experience of her child suffering from such an injury. She can empathize with injured persons and understands the challenges they face as they seek recovery, compensation, and justice. In Gail’s view, personal injuries can be deeply traumatic for clients, impacting not only their personal and professional lives but also their day-to-day routines. Therefore, Gail strives to assist clients in their recovery while establishing the severity of injuries to seek and obtain fair and maximum compensation.  

Before joining the Wilshire Law Firm, Gail’s litigation practice encompassed a wide range of areas such as personal injury, employment law, and insurance fraud. Additionally, she possesses expertise in research and writing and has a comprehensive understanding of civil procedure to provide her clients with effective representation. Over the course of more than two decades, Gail has managed hundreds of cases, including representation at trial.
