Firm Information
Overview
The law firm of Purchase, George & Murphey represents the people of Erie, Pennsylvania, in legal issues related to personal injury. When an individual has been injured because of the negligence of another organization or individual, we will stop at nothing to get them the compensation they require to alleviate their stress as they recover from their injuries and rebuild their lives. For our high-ethical standards and long list of successful results, we hold the highest peer review rating possible of AV Preeminent* from Martindale-Hubbell.
Along with Erie, we also represent those in North East, Meadville and all the surrounding counties. We offer free initial consultations to those who have suffered as the result of any injury related to the following: Car accidents, commercial truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, back and neck injuries, bicycle and pedestrian accidents, dog bites, premises liability, wrongful death, traumatic brain injury, slip-and-fall accidents and paraplegia/quadriplegia. The qualified attorneys at our law firm also handle cases of medical malpractice.
Every personal injury case is unique, and the needs of each client differ significantly from others, so we meet with every client to come up with the best ways to obtain compensation for damages such as disability, disfigurement, pain and suffering, cost of home remodeling for accessibility, durable medical equipment, physical therapy, lost income, and medical expenses for the injured.
As two of our attorneys previously worked for insurance companies, we have detailed insight into how to best handle a personal injury case at the law firm of Purchase, George & Murphey. Our attorneys also handle some cases of criminal defense and DUI, and we are happy to accept credit card payments in office.
