Will it cost me anything to consult with a Purchase, George and Murphey lawyer about my injury case?
Is There a Cost to Consult With an Erie Personal Injury Lawyer?
If you’ve been injured in an accident or believe you may have a medical malpractice claim, one of the first questions on your mind is probably whether you can afford to even find out where you stand legally. The answer is straightforward: no — an initial consultation with a personal injury or medical malpractice attorney at Purchase, George & Murphey costs you nothing.
Free Initial Consultation
At Purchase, George & Murphey, we offer free initial consultations for individuals injured in accidents or harmed by medical negligence. During this consultation, we listen to what happened, review any documentation you have, and give you an honest assessment of whether you have a viable claim — all at no cost to you.
We believe that every injured person deserves to understand their legal rights, regardless of their financial situation. The consultation is your opportunity to get informed, ask questions, and decide whether pursuing a claim makes sense for you — without any financial obligation.
We Work on a Contingency Fee Basis
Beyond the free consultation, we handle personal injury and medical malpractice cases on a contingency fee basis. This means:
- You pay no attorney’s fees upfront
- You pay no attorney’s fees during your case
- We only receive a fee if and when we recover compensation for you
- If we don’t win, you owe us nothing for our legal services
Our fee is a percentage of the recovery — agreed upon at the outset and clearly explained in your fee agreement. This arrangement means our interests are aligned with yours: we only get paid when you do, and we are motivated to maximize your recovery.
What About Case Expenses?
Personal injury and medical malpractice cases often involve costs beyond attorney’s fees — such as medical record fees, expert witness fees, court filing fees, and deposition costs. These expenses are typically advanced by the firm during the case and reimbursed from the settlement or verdict at the conclusion. This will be explained clearly in your fee agreement so there are no surprises.
When Should You Call?
The sooner you consult with an attorney after an injury, the better. Evidence can disappear, witnesses’ memories fade, and Pennsylvania’s statute of limitations places time limits on injury claims. If you’ve been hurt in an accident or harmed by medical negligence in Erie or the surrounding area, reach out to Purchase, George & Murphey as soon as possible to discuss your situation — there’s no cost and no obligation.
