Rely on our experience to handle your West Virginia car accident injury

A long-standing law firm establishes a strong reputation and can often obtain a favorable settlement outside of court. Insurance companies may not want to risk going to trial because of high jury awards for pain and suffering. Knowing that a seasoned trial lawyer is handling the case often provides incentive to cut their losses and negotiate a fair settlement.

Whether heading to trial or the negotiating table, considerable preparation goes into developing a strong case. Thorough investigation of the accident scene, accident reconstruction, analysis of underlying causes, identification of liable parties, and effective case strategy for proving liability lay the groundwork. Our lawyers also stay up to date on West Virginia traffic laws, statutes, and case laws that affect the outcome of car accident cases.

If a car accident lawsuit in West Virginia is in your best interests, our firm has the professional support and wherewithal to take your case to trial and never hesitates to do so.

Establishing fault is a key element in a car accident claim because recoverable damages are based on the percentage of fault parties had in causing the accident. When another driver is reckless or negligent, causing serious injury, it is your right under the law to recover damages. Under West Virginia law, damages that may be recovered in an auto accident often include:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost past and future income
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • Rehabilitative care
  • Loss of consortium

In certain accident cases, multiple parties may be at fault—such as another driver, a defective auto parts manufacturer, or a state or local government for failing to maintain safe roads. Relieve your worries by putting your case in the hands of a dependable attorney.
