Practice Areas Description

Cyrus & Adkins provides legal representation and services in the following areas of practice:

- Personal Injury/Wrongful Death

We are dedicated to helping our clients who were injured through no fault of their own. The areas of personal injury law we cover are not necessarily limited to this list:

• Automobile Accidents
Crashes can involve head-on collisions, side collisions, rear-end collisions, rollovers, etc. It must be determined who is at fault and how much in damages is to be paid to the victim. We can advise you about the best steps to take after an automobile accident regarding your own personal injury, passenger injuries, other bodily injury claims, and any property damage done to your car. Contact Cyrus & Adkins to determine if you have a personal injury claim. We fight to get you fair compensation for medical treatment, lost wages, property damages, and pain and suffering.

• Trucking Accidents
Causes of truck crashes can involve tired drivers, uncontrollable load weight, inadequate maintenance, traffic hazards, and weather. Proving liability in trucking accidents is more complex than in car crashes. If injured in a trucking accident, contact the West Virginia truck accident attorneys to determine if you are entitled to cash damages for wrongful death, physical injuries, pain and suffering, lost income, and lost earning capacity.

• Railroad Crossing Accidents
Every year, thousands of Americans are injured or die in railroad crossing accidents. These accidents may be due to the negligence or inattention of the train crew, lack of or improperly functioning warning devices, and improperly maintained crossings. Complex federal and state laws govern the duties owed by the railroads to the public. Our firm is experienced and successful in representing persons injured or killed in railroad crossing accidents. Contact Cyrus & Adkins to assist you.

• FELA Claims
Railroad workers face immense risks in performing their dangerous jobs. These workers are not covered by a no-fault system of workers' compensation. Rather, the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA) requires injured railroad workers to prove that the railroad itself was negligent in causing the injury or death of the railroad worker. We are experienced in FELA claims. you need to know your rights. Contact Cyrus & Adkins to assist you in holding the railroad liable for your injuries.

• Premise Liability
The law states that a person who is in possession of land or premises is responsible for injuries suffered on their premises. If you need help assessing your premises liability case, contact Cyrus & Adkins.

• Traumatic Brain Injury
If you are a victim of a brain injury caused by an accident of any kind, you will need attorneys who have knowledge in understanding this complex injury to assist you in gaining compensation for not working, hospital and doctor bills, medication, therapy costs, and for your lost quality of life. At Cyrus & Adkins, we have represented numerous clients who have suffered traumatic brain injuries.

• Wrongful death
When a loved one dies because of a person’s wrongful act or negligence, you may be entitled to substantial compensation from those at fault. The law allows recovery for the loss of income, the pain and suffering of the decedent, and the loss of services and grief suffered by the decedent's surviving members and loved ones. We specialize in assisting families through this most difficult time following the loss of a loved one as a result of the negligence or fault of others. Cyrus & Adkins is dedicated to providing caring, competent and aggressive representation in wrongful death cases.

- Social Security Disability

Lawyers at Cyrus & Adkins help our clients understand that social security provides more than just retirement benefits. If you suffer from a physical or emotional disability, or a combination of these two, you could be eligible to receive Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits. We can help you to receive these benefits—and we can help you find alternative methods of protecting yourself from the costs of disability as well.

- Insurance Law

Insurance reimburses policyholders for specific types of losses, like illness, property damage, fire loss, or death. When an insurance company denies or fails to provide coverage under your policy, this is when you need the experienced help of Cyrus & Adkins.

Insurance companies can deny coverage on a claim for many reasons. Each insurance plan is different. Contact Cyrus & Adkins to cut through the red tape to get you the care or compensation that you deserve.

• Fire Loss Denials
Fires destroy our homes and change our lives forever. To make matters worse, many fire survivors also fall victim to their own insurance companies who refuse to pay valid claims.
