Murphy Sanchez has a national practice that encompasses all areas of recovery. We have designed our subrogation department with the primary goal of serving our clients within their framework. We have intentionally rejected requirements that limit our ability to service our clients in a way they expect and deserve.
In addition to working with numerous insurance carriers, we team with many third-party administrators and subrogation services companies to facilitate a streamlined and expeditious process with a focus on maximizing recoveries. We have developed programs, processes, and policies for many clients and self-insureds to help them in their recovery process.
Whether it is a minor workers compensation claim or a multi-million-dollar property loss, we provide our clients with a strategy to maximize their potential for success and recovery. Our fee structures are completely flexible and open to discussion, allowing our clients to tailor a plan that fits their needs.
Property Claims
We handle property claims ranging from multi-million dollar losses to losses of just a few thousand dollars. Our subrogation attorneys are responsible for increasing our clients’ recoveries year over year.
Automobile/Trucking Claims
Our attorneys have handled all types of automobile and trucking claims throughout the United States. Efficient handling is the hallmark of our practice, and it is never more important than in the prosecution of these claims
Workers Compensation Claims
Our attorneys have been serving as the outsourced workers compensation subrogation team for many carriers for several years. We have worked diligently with our clients to implement a streamlined standard of practice management that maximizes recoveries while managing costs and risks. We have trained numerous subrogation departments and adjusters on identifying losses, facilitating recoveries without counsel when possible, and how to negotiate settlements aggressively and creatively.
Aviation Claims
We handle property and workers compensation claims associated with policies of insurance covering aircraft, aircraft services companies, and airport vendors.

Murphy Sanchez’s experience with large companies positions us to tackle all types of claims from occupational, repetitive work claims and traumatic events.
The handling of Product Liability claims is very often a team approach between counsel and client with an eye toward a systematic plan of action to protect the client and its product. We represent a wide range of clients and their products including industrial machinery, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, and fire protection components. Attorneys in our Product Liability Practice Group have served as National Coordinating Counsel in the Latex Glove MDL on behalf of a large manufacturer. Murphy Sanchez carefully evaluates each claim throughout the litigation ensuring that the client is always informed of all potential outcomes, allowing for a collaborative decision making process.
Premises liability is at the heart of Murphy Sanchez’s practice. Every one of our members and associates has trained in premises liability and defended premises liability cases for the greater part of their careers. Each of us handles premises liability cases for both insured and self-insured clients. We are well-versed in the laws of our jurisdiction pertaining to structural defects, transient defects, statutory liability and contractor liability. Our evaluation of a premises case also extends beyond our client’s potential liability to the plaintiff and will touch on areas such as lease interpretation, responsible contractors and the potential for indemnity and recovery on behalf of our client from another tortfeasor.
Our attorneys are also experienced in the evaluation of the damages aspects of these cases, whether they be personal injury or property damage. From the most minor of injuries up to a total building collapse, our team has the knowledge and experience to assess the claim and assist the client in evaluating and defending both pre-suit matters and lawsuits, through trial.
