Erica Morton

Overview Erica L. Morton has more than 15 years of experience defending insurance companies and policyholders in personal injury matters. She also handles a variety of general liability matters for corporate and retail clients who are self-insured or have high deductibles. She has handled a broad array of actions, from slip-and-fall cases and car accidents to negligent security cases involving allegations of sexual assault, as well as wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases, commercial automobile litigation and elevator liability. Erica has been instrumental in creating case law at the appellate level addressing the recovery of hospital and medical liens. Erica brings a well-rounded perspective to her work. After being a personal injury claimant herself and then beginning her career in a plaintiffs firm, she depends on the understanding and experience she has gained from being on the other side of the table as she tenaciously defends her clients. Erica has a passion for helping her clients work through the challenges that arise in the litigation process and a willingness to explore all options, from mediation to taking a case all the way through trial or appeals. At the same time, she listens to her clients goals and concerns and tailors legal strategies for each one based on the challenges they may experience throughout litigation or because of the specific circumstances of their cases.
