Building a strong personal injury case requires thorough preparation, strategic planning, and an in-depth understanding of the legal process. From the moment an accident occurs, every detail matters—medical records, police reports, insurance policies, and witness statements all play a role in determining the outcome of a claim. Navigating this complex process can be overwhelming, which is why having a knowledgeable legal team is essential. To gain a deeper understanding of how personal injury cases are built, we sat down with Attorney Matt Wilkov, a partner at Rubin, Glickman, Steinberg & Gifford, P.C., to discuss the firm’s approach to case preparation and client advocacy.
For more than 65 years, Rubin, Glickman, Steinberg & Gifford, P.C. has provided trusted legal representation for our clients.

How Our Attorneys Craft Solid Personal Injury Claims
At Rubin, Glickman, Steinberg & Gifford, P.C., preparation is key to building strong personal injury cases. Attorney Matt Wilkov explains how the firm strategically gathers evidence, evaluates claims, and advocates for clients:
Thorough Case Preparation
Every case begins with an initial phone call, where clients receive immediate guidance. “In automobile cases, the person calling in often doesn’t know how insurance and medical bills work, so we provide initial guidance,” says Attorney Wilkov. If the case is worth pursuing, the firm arranges a meeting, takes intake notes, and circulates the matter through the office.
The legal team works together from the start. “It is a team effort. Our administrative staff sends letters to insurance companies, and our personal injury paralegal uploads matters into federal and state systems, requests medical records, and gathers bills.” This early coordination ensures the case starts on strong footing.
Gathering Strong Evidence
Determining liability and proving injuries are crucial steps in any claim. “No matter how serious the accident is, if there is no insurance to back it up, recovering compensation is difficult,” Attorney Wilkov explains. The firm examines all available insurance coverage, reviews police reports, and tracks medical treatment to build a comprehensive case. Medical evidence is a key component. “We have to plead, prove, and recover—meaning we make assertions about what happened and then back them up with evidence.” When necessary, the firm brings in accident investigators and expert witnesses to strengthen a client’s case.
Negotiation and Litigation Strategy
Once evidence is gathered, the firm prepares a demand package for the insurance company. “We try to do their work for them and negotiate a settlement,” says Attorney Wilkov. However, if a fair settlement is not possible, the case moves to litigation. “If settlement does not look feasible, we file a lawsuit and let the chips fall where they may.” The firm takes a proactive approach, anticipating potential defenses and ensuring they have strong counterarguments ready.

Our firm’s attorneys work together to analyze every case from multiple angles, ensuring that no detail is overlooked. This collective knowledge allows them to anticipate challenges, develop strong legal strategies, and secure the best possible outcomes for clients.
Client accessibility is another key differentiator. “The one complaint I hear about other lawyers is that clients can’t reach them,” says Attorney Wilkov. “That is not a problem here—24/7, if someone gets in touch with us, they will hear back from us.” Our firm prioritizes open communication, ensuring that clients are always informed and supported throughout the legal process.
