Erie, PA Forklift Accidents Lawyers

Frequent Injuries Suffered in Forklift Accidents

About Erie, PA

The city of Erie, Pennsylvania is the county seat of Erie County, Pennsylvania. Located on the southern shore of Lake Erie, the city of Erie is the largest municipality in northwestern Pennsylvania and the fourth-largest city in the whole state. Named for the Native Americans of the Erie Nation who inhabited the area up until the mid-17th century, European settlers first came to the area when the French built forts in response to British colonial expansion. The French abandoned the area after the Seven Years’ War; following the Revolutionary War, the area where Erie is located became part of Pennsylvania. Erie initially boomed in the 19th century thanks to the shipbuilding and fishing industries, before building a manufacturing hub in the city’s downtown in the 20th century. Today, Erie has also developed strong industries in healthcare, technology, services, and tourism.
