As Erie County personal injury lawyers, we use video on our Pennsylvania injury law site for two reasons. First, as experienced Pennsylvania trial lawyers (and as husband to an elementary school teacher), we know that people learn differently. Some people learn by reading, some by listening, some by seeing, others by doing. Because our goal is to provide meaningful information to people to help educate the public about Pennsylvania injury law and accident cases, we thought it might be helpful to some people if we provided information in a video format.
Our second reason for offering video is to give you a chance to meet us in a low-stress environment. At our office, you'll find that everyone is very nice and helpful. But we know that for some people it can be a little nerve-wracking to come and meet a Pennsylvania personal injury attorney who they've never seen before to discuss something about which they've had no prior experience. So, with our videos, you can get a look at us in your own home and without any chance that you'll feel pressured or nervous. Hopefully, you'll see us and conclude that you'd feel welcome at our Erie County injury attorney office. We'd certainly like the chance to meet you and will do our best to help you.
So, check out our videos. We'll try to add new ones throughout the year to keep the information coming and ensure that our readers and watchers are the best informed people in northwest Pennsylvania when it comes to injury and accident law.

Original Eric J. Purchase, Attorney at Law Ad
Yes, he looks a little younger and considerably less at ease in front of a camera but what do you expect? This was Eric Purchase's first TV ad upon opening a solo practice as an Erie injury lawyer.
The ad's purpose was to introduce Atty. Purchase to the northwest Pennsylvania community as a lawyer who'd practiced in Erie for years representing the big insurance companies and large corporations but who'd left his big clients for a solo practice representing individuals in their struggles with the big insurance companies.

What should you do in the immediate aftermath of a car or truck accident in the state of Pennsylvania? First and foremost, check to see if you are hurt or if the passengers in your car have been injured. Also, check on the driver of the other car, but be very careful not to get out of your car while in traffic. If needed, seek medical help immediately. If you are unsure whether or not to call an ambulance, it is always best to err on the side of caution.
You also will want to collect information from the other driver, including name, address, insurance information, and license plate number. If possible, make some notes about the accident and the positioning of the cars. If there are any witnesses, you will want to obtain information from them as well.

Pennsylvania Personal Injury Attorney on Moving Your Vehicle
Pennsylvania personal injury attorney Tim George discusses, in this informative video, whether or not you should move your vehicle following a Pennsylvania car accident. You may be wondering whether or not you can or should move your vehicle following an accident. In short, the answer is yes. You can move your vehicle if it appears that no one was injured and if you can do so in a safe manner. However, in many cases it is prudent and smart to stay right where you are. Primarily, because it is often not safe to change lanes of travel and you could further risk harm to other motorists. Another reason you may want to keep your vehicle where the accident occurred is because it will help make it more apparent as to how exactly and where the accident occurred. This could help your case. If you have been injured in an accident, a Pennsylvania personal injury attorney at Purchase & George can help you understand your rights and review the merits of your case. Our experienced team of attorneys may be able to help you recover the compensation you deserve.

Pennsylvania Car Accidents Caused by Distracted Driving
Erie car crash lawyer Eric Purchase discusses, in this informative video, the dangers of distracted driving. Distracted driving, which includes texting while driving, can lead to a car accident resulting in serious injury. Despite the known dangers, some people still text and/or talk on their cell phones while driving. These drivers can't possibly be paying attention to what's going on around them while they are texting or talking on the phone. As a result, distracted driving causes many Pennsylvania car accidents each year. That is why many local communities are taking action to put a stop to this dangerous driving behavior. If you have been injured in a Pennsylvania car accident as a result of a distracted driver, the team at Purchase & George can help you build your case and hold the negligent parties liable. One of our first objectives is to determine how the accident happened and who was at fault. We want to determine if distracted driving played a role in your accident. One of the ways our team does this is by examining the phone and text records of any driver who may have been at fault. This can prove to be powerful evidence.

At the Law Offices of Purchase & George, our approach to winning over each jury is to make sure that we are the most reliable source of credible information.

PA Personal Injury Lawyer Gets Results After Erie Accidents
If you have been injured by a negligent driver in an Erie auto accident, truck wreck or motorcycle crash, you most likely should receive just compensation from the insurance company. However, what happens when the insurance company doesn't want to give you any compensation or the amount you deserve? Watch this video as Pennsylvania personal injury lawyer Eric Purchase explains how he may be able to help you.
At the Law Offices of Purchase & George, we got results for an accident victim who was told by her insurance company that she had limited tort and was not entitled to recover anything for her injury. She came to see us, and we found out that she did not have limited tort under the circumstances of the case. Although she didn't have a life altering injury, she still deserved compensation. We were able to take a case in which the insurance company offered her nothing and got her just compensation.

Pennsylvania Personal Injury Attorney on Seeking Treatment
Pennsylvania personal injury attorney Eric Purchase discusses, in this powerful video, the most important thing you should do following an accident. If you are ever involved in an accident, whether it's a car crash or a slip and fall, the most important thing you can do is to make sure that you are physically well. Part of that process is seeking treatment and evaluation by a trained medical professional. Often times, victims leave the scene of an accident convinced that their soreness and pain will eventually go away, only to learn that it doesn't. Consequently, after following up with a physician, they learn that they actually suffered a serious injury. It's better that you get immediate treatment and evaluation and that you do whatever your doctor recommends in order to get better. If your accident has resulted in an injury, you may also want to consider holding the negligent party liable. Your team at Purchase & George can assist you and help you determine the merits of your case. We will carefully review your case with you so that you understand your rights as well as the process. To find out more on how a Pennsylvania personal injury attorney can help you following an accident, order your free copy of our informative book: The Ultimate Guide to Car Accident Cases in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania Personal Injury Attorney on Insurance Companies
Pennsylvania personal injury attorney Eric Purchase discusses, in this educational video, how to handle insurance companies following an accident. You may be wondering what you should do when the insurance companies call you. If you have been injured in an accident, you can expect to be called by your insurance company as well as the other person's insurance company. There is a huge difference in how you handle the different companies. Your insurance company will ask you to provide them important information. It's alright to speak with them and answer their questions. This will ensure that your medical bills are properly paid. The other person's insurance company will also call you and ask for you to provide them information. However, it is not a good idea to talk with them. Nothing good can come from the conversation. As a matter of fact, you should consider speaking with a Pennsylvania personal injury attorney before talking to either insurance company. Our team at Purchase & George is experienced in handling insurance claims and can advise you on how you should handle the insurance companies. Call us today to schedule an appointment. Also, if your injuries are a result of a car accident, you should order a copy of our free book, The Ultimate Guide to Car Accident Cases in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania Personal Injury Attorney on Hiring a Lawyer
Pennsylvania personal injury attorney Eric Purchase discusses, in this powerful video, questions you should consider when hiring a lawyer for your personal injury case. Have you been injured in an accident and considering hiring a Pennsylvania personal injury attorney? If so, there are certain questions that you should ask the lawyer before hiring him or her. First, ask the attorney about his or her experience. Find out how long the lawyer has been practicing in your type of injury, as well as exactly what he or she has done. Has the attorney dealt with cases like yours? Has he or she tried cases like yours before a jury? Has the lawyer been successful? Second, ask about the lawyer's philosophy about settlements. How does the attorney know when to recommend that you should settle or when your case should go to trial? If the lawyer can't answer clearly how he or she makes these decisions or have made them in the past, this person might not be the right lawyer for you. Our team at Purchase and George can clearly explain our firm's philosophy on how we decide to recommend that you settle your case or bring it to trial. You need to understand that your case may go to trial and we have the experience in the event your case does go that direction.

Pennsylvania Personal Injury Attorney on Trying Cases
Pennsylvania personal injury attorney Eric Purchase discusses, in this educational video, the new dynamic that has resulted from the high amount of personal injury cases that settle. Since most personal injury cases settle, your personal injury lawyer may enter into your case with the expectation of settling. Unfortunately, this means that the value of your case might be lower than it should be. At the law offices of Purchase and George, we believe that the prospect of a trial is an important part of the process. If there is not a real prospect of your case going to trial, then you can't expect to get the full value of your case. At Purchase and George, we have a record of going to trial. We have a history of demonstrating to the other parties and insurance companies on the other side that we can and will go to trial. This ensures that our clients get the full value of their case. If you have been injured in an accident, you should contact an experienced Pennsylvania personal injury attorney at Purchase and George to discuss your case. We can discuss the merits of your case as well the probability of your case settling or going to trial.

Pennsylvania Personal Injury Attorney on Insurance Claims
Pennsylvania personal injury attorney Eric Purchase reflects, in this informative video, his first 15 years as a lawyer and what he has learned about dealing with insurance companies. Eric Purchase spent the early part of his legal career working with large insurance companies. He learned a great deal about insurance adjusters and the people at those insurance companies who make the important decisions. If you have been injured and are considering filing a personal injury claim, you need to understand that the insurance company will carefully analyze the lawyer who is representing you. They will also determine whether your lawyer is capable of taking your case to trial. Can your lawyer effectively present the facts and the law in a way that allows the jury to understand what the case is about? Having a lawyer who has tried cases is imperative. Your team at Purchase & George has that experience. We have successfully tried cases and have demonstrated to insurance companies that we are not afraid to go to trial. This will add tremendous value to your case. To find out more about how we can help you following an accident, order your free copy of our informative book: The Ultimate Guide to Car Accident Cases in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania Personal Injury Attorney on Resources for Your Case
Pennsylvania personal injury attorney Eric Purchase discusses, in this informative video, two of the resources that might be requested when building your case, as well as the details concerning the costs. There is a lot involved in building a successful personal injury or car accident case. Two common resources that might be required include identifying and paying for expert witnesses and preparing depositions for your case. These resources can be expensive and you might be wondering who will initially pay for them. Your team at Purchase & George has those resources available. In fact, it is our policy to advance these costs, so that your case can move forward. Whether your case settles or there is a verdict, the costs will be reimbursed to us at the conclusion of your case. This frees you from the worries of having to pay for these important resources ahead of time. However, before your case gets that far, your team at Purchase & George will meet with you and help you understand all the factors concerning your case.

Are you wondering what at your case is worth? It's important to understand that not all cases are alike. Though, the attorneys at Purchase & George can tell you how much the past 10 similar cases settled for, there are many factors that will make your case unique and determine its value. Your ability to perform as a witness and what story you bring to the table will have a major impact on the value of your case. How well you articulate what your life was like before your accident, as compared to how your life has changed since the injury occurred, is critical. The performance of the negligent party as a witness, whether it's another driver or a physician, will also play a role in your case's value.
