Personal Injury Lawyer in Philadelphia, PA
Our office is in Center City, a few blocks from City Hall. Our clients come from every corner of the city.
A Philadelphia firm, through and through
Our office is in the heart of Center City, at 1650 Market Street, Suite 3600, a few blocks west of City Hall. It is where we meet clients, prepare cases and, when it comes to that, get ready for court. Most people first reach us by phone, though, often from home or a hospital room, and that works just as well. The line is answered 24/7.
Patterson Injury Lawyers is a Philadelphia firm through and through. Attorney Derek M. Patterson was born and raised in West Philadelphia. He has worked at several highly regarded plaintiff firms here, as well as at a respected insurance defense firm, so he knows how injury claims in this city are built and how insurers evaluate them.
We represent people injured anywhere in the city: a rear-end crash on Roosevelt Boulevard in Northeast Philadelphia, a fall on an icy sidewalk in Germantown, a pedestrian struck in a South Philadelphia crosswalk, a construction injury on a Center City job site. Wherever it happened, the terms are the same. The consultation is free, there are no upfront fees, and we are not paid unless we recover for you.
If getting to the office is difficult, tell us. We will find a way to talk that works for you.

The Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas
Personal injury lawsuits filed in Philadelphia County are generally heard in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, whose civil courtrooms are in City Hall at Broad and Market Streets, a short walk from our office.
Many claims are resolved through negotiation and never reach a courtroom. Still, insurers pay attention to whether a firm is prepared to file suit and see a case through. We prepare every case with that in mind. Where a lawsuit can be filed depends on the facts, and we will explain your options when we talk. Have questions first? Our FAQ page covers the basics.
Every case is different. This page is general information, not legal advice.
