Biography

Mr. David L. Hunter, Jr., car accidents attorney serving Erie

Erie, PA Lawyer for Car Accidents, Personal Injury & Medical Malpractice For the last 29 years, my team and I have successfully represented individuals and families in Pennsylvania who have suffered serious injury or death as a result of accident, injury, and other people’s negligence or recklessness. Many of our clients are referred by other lawyers and prior clients. I understand how devastating and overwhelming it can be to deal with mounting costs and suffering caused by being seriously hurt. If your case is chosen to move forward, we put in all of the time and money that is required to maximize the ultimate recovery for the injury suffered and believe that over the years our results are unsurpassed. Every case requires the plaintiff (you) to prove both liability and damages. Each case has its own set of associated costs, including pain and suffering, lost wages, the cost of care and many other monetary costs and these must be clearly demonstrated. As one of the most experienced trial lawyers in Erie, I will document and preserve any evidence necessary to prove your case and meticulously prepare your case for trial. None of this will cost you one penny unless we get money for you. Just a few of the cases I've personally represented over the years include: Malpractice trial against local physician - Trial Jury Verdict: $300, Physician & hospital negligence, no diagnosis, pulmonary embolus - Trial Jury: 1.2 Million Birth injury, obstetrical negligence, premature induction - Mediated Settlement: 3.0 Million Negligent roadway maintenance by municipality - Trial Jury Verdict: $150, Physician negligence, failure to treat brain hemorrhage - Trial Jury Verdict: $500, Products liability, formaldehyde poisoning, wood product companies - Confidential Settlement Hospital negligence, equipment failure - Confidential Settlement Defective product, bone screws - Confidential Settlement Breast implants, silicone leak - Confidential Settlement Worker death, inadequate safety devices on fork lift - Confidential Settlement Physical therapist negligence, excessive weight training - Trial Jury Verdict: $420, Nursing negligence, failure to follow up on blood test - Confidential Settlement During Trial Birth injury, obstetrical negligence, excessive vacuum extraction - Confidential Settlement Wrongful death, nursing home, inadequate staffing - Confidential Settlement Wrongful death, pediatric negligence, failure to diagnose cardiomyopathy - Confidential Settlement Wrongful death, emergency room, failure to diagnose chest pain - Confidential Settlement Vehicle negligence, neurologic injuries - Settlement: $300, Hospital negligence, retained sponge - Confidential Settlement Child care facility negligence, wrongful death, failure to care for infant - Confidential Settlement Emergency room negligence, failure to perform a ct scan - Confidential Settlement Surgical negligence, foreign object - Confidential Settlement Hospital staff negligence - Confidential Settlement Radiologist negligence, hydrocephalus, brain injury - Confidential Settlement Pedestrian injury - Settlement: $175, Premises liability - Settlement: $75, Admitted: 1982, Ohio and U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio 1984, Pennsylvania and U.S. District Court, Western District of Pennsylvania Law School: Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, J.D.
