Norristown Personal Injury Cases
Norristown is a borough in Pennsylvania, meaning it is an autonomous municipality, and it is the county seat of Montgomery County. The people of Norristown are independent and mobile. They work hard and play hard, which puts them at risk for injuries from accidents.
Many residents commute 15 miles a day into nearby Philadelphia to go to work, and others might go across the Delaware River and take the 35-mile trip into Trenton, NJ. Still, others work locally either for the county government or in a retail job, at a school, or with one of the medical providers in the community.
Industry and Commercial Injury Exposure in Norristown
Being the county seat, the largest employer is the county government with many in Norristown taking positions with the county clerk, tax office, department of revenue, the courts, or one of the many other jobs in county administration.
The state of Pennsylvania also employs the people of Norristown. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s main offices are in the borough, and they take advantage of the experienced and hardworking people of Norristown to work at keeping the environment clean and the people safe.
Construction, light manufacturing, and service positions also keep those in Norristown employed and on the road as they commute both locally and out of the city to work. All this driving adds to the risks of personal injury.

Each type of injury means that the damages and losses experienced by the victim take more than just a single, automated approach from a personal injury mill. At Pearce Law Firm, P.C., they look at the circumstances of each accident, including the type of injury, how it happened, and what it will take to get the best resulting personal injury settlement for their client.
