Law Offices of Gary J. Kim provides outstanding legal representation to those who have been injured in an accident or suffered harm due to the negligence of a third party.

Personal injury law involves injury which is caused accidentally by another’s failure to use reasonable care. The definition of reasonable care is determined on a case-by-case basis. A person may be liable for the injury caused through negligent or reckless action.
