Who We Are
After building Morgan Colling & Gilbert into one of the largest plaintiff’s personal injury firm in Florida, attorneys Stewart Colling and Ronald Gilbert left that firm in 2005 to form Colling Gilbert Wright. Joined by fellow partner Melvin Wright, alongside a number of other attorneys, paralegals, and staff, our law firm has grown to become one of the most preeminent and respected personal injury and wrongful death law firms in the state and in the nation.
In addition to representing clients throughout Florida in a wide range of personal injury cases, Colling Gilbert Wright has played a key role in multi-district litigation involving plaintiffs from multiple areas of the country. This includes the class action against New England Compounding Center for steroid injections tainted with fungal meningitis, which settled for $200 million.

Why Hire Us?
Our goal is to maximize the compensation in your case. This often involves overcoming a number of hurdles on behalf of our clients.
1. The Negligent Party (or Parties) Has No Insurance
From the uninsured driver to a nursing home or assisted living facility with limited or insufficient liability coverage, many parties in Florida choose to take a double risk. They elect not to carry insurance, then they behave recklessly and harm someone. In these situations, the victim is left with limited options for recovery.
At Colling Gilbert Wright, we are known for our persistence in pursuing fair recoveries. In cases where the defendant doesn’t have sufficient insurance to cover damages, we will not go away until the negligent individual or company comes to the negotiating table to determine a fair way to compensate our client.
2. Complicated Cases
Complex litigation takes many different forms. Many people associate the term with large cases involving hundreds if not thousands of defendants.
We have been involved in these large class-action claims. However, we often find that cases where only one victim is harmed can be just as complicated. This is often the case with medical malpractice and nursing home claims, both of which involve questions of extensive regulation, complex liability, and specialized medical knowledge.
Many lawyers and law firms refer out medical malpractice and nursing home abuse cases due to the time and resources required to litigate them effectively. At Colling Gilbert Wright, we have the skill and experience to handle these claims ourselves.
3. ‘Low-Ball’ Insurance Offers
The insurance industry has mounted a full-scale assault on the rights of accident victims to be fairly compensated for their injuries. This has resulted not only in efforts to reduce the compensation available for certain damages but a consistent pattern of offering the minimum amount to settle and sweep away legitimate claims.
Injured drivers in Florida already face an uphill battle due to the state’s no-fault insurance law, which limits the circumstances in which a motorist is hurt due to the negligence of another driver can recover damages from the at-fault party. When you are injured and facing significant bills and other expenses, a car accident settlement (from your own insurance company or the at-fault driver’s) may look reasonable and even downright advantageous.
Before accepting an accident settlement, we strongly recommend speaking to a lawyer first.
You may be entitled to much more than the insurance company is willing to offer. In addition, multiple parties may be liable for your damages. The only way to determine how much your case is worth and who should pay is by working with an experienced lawyer.
