SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Luvera Law Firm has earned two tier-one designations in the 2025 U.S. News – Best Lawyers “Best Law Firms” rankings for excellence in Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs and Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs for the 15th consecutive year.
“This honor from our peers is a testament to the great work our attorneys do on behalf of seriously injured people and their families,” said Robert Gellatly, Luvera Law Firm managing partner. “Holding powerful institutions and systems to account is a core part of our mission, and in that way our work has benefits beyond the results for our clients.”
The “Best Law Firms” guide recognizes select law firms for professional excellence and consistently stellar ratings from clients and peers.
Luvera Law Firm has built a reputation on pursing justice for a range of personal injury cases, holding individuals, government entities and corporations accountable for the harm caused by their negligence. In 2023, the firm secured a verdict of more than $102 million against Nationwide Insurance for egregious misconduct against their own customer. The firm also represented two families whose loved ones were the victims of Seattle’s deadly South Lake Union crane collapse in 2019, resulting in a $150 million verdict.
Also, in addition to representing individuals and families with medical malpractice and negligence claims, the firm’s appellate work has far-reaching impact. In 2024, Luvera attorneys brought a case before the Washington Supreme Court, the result of which makes Washington one of the only states to prevent hospitals from avoiding responsibility for medical errors when they choose to staff their emergency rooms with physicians who are independent contractors, rather than hiring them as employees.
In recent years, the team’s work resulted in an $18 million settlement on behalf of a former Swedish Health Services nurse who suffered a devastating stroke after a radiologist missed clear warning signs on an MRI. In a case against Jefferson Healthcare Medical Center, a jury rendered a $23.9 million verdict on behalf of a family whose baby suffered a permanent brain injury as a result of the medical center measuring the mother’s heartbeat during delivery, rather than the infant’s.
The U.S. News – Best Lawyers “Best Law Firms” rankings are determined by a rigorous peer-review survey comprised of evaluations from leading lawyers, as well as client evaluations, and peer reviews from top attorneys in their field. To be eligible for a ranking, a firm must have one lawyer listed in The Best Lawyers in America, which recognizes the top 5 percent of practicing attorneys in the U.S. The 2025 rankings are based on the highest number of participating firms and the highest number of client ballots on record.
