Michael T. Blazick is a 1998 graduate of the Temple University School of Law. He served as a law clerk for the Honorable John T.J. Kelly Jr. on the Pennsylvania Superior Court. During his appellate clerkship on the Superior Court, he worked on multiple published decisions, including what has become one of the most cited decisions regarding Pennsylvania’s relatively new Bad Faith Statute – Birth Center v. St. Paul Ins. Co.

Consequently, Mike joined the Philadelphia office of Marshall, Dennehey, Warner, Coleman & Goggin where he initially specialized in the litigation of bad faith claims and insurance coverage disputes. While at Marshall Dennehey, Mike also handled catastrophic personal injury cases involving product liability, medical malpractice, and general liability.

After practicing in Philadelphia for five years, Mike returned to his hometown of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. He joined a prominent local law firm where he represented injured persons in product liability, medical malpractice and insurance bad faith claims. Mike worked extensively on a high profile medical malpractice case involving the death of a four-year-old boy that resulted in an $11 million settlement.

Mike joined the Perry Law Firm in the fall of 2006. Mike now concentrates his practice handling medical malpractice, product liability, insurance bad faith and general liability claims.

Mike is admitted to practice in the Pennsylvania state courts and in both the Middle District and Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Mike is a member of the Pennsylvania Bar Association and the Luzerne County Bar Association.
