Practice Areas Description

Our practice areas include:

- Personal Injury

In West Virginia, personal injury law encompasses virtually all accidents and injuries including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, boat accidents, bus accidents, aviation accidents, dog bites, slip and falls, work accidents, medical malpractice and toxic tort cases. West Virginia Personal injury lawsuits are civil actions in which monetary compensation is usually the desired outcome.

- Auto Accidents

Auto accidents often cause serious and sometimes permanent injuries that require extensive medical treatment. Unfortunately, many primary care physicians don’t know how to treat these injuries and don’t make proper referrals to specialists who do. These are some of the reasons unrepresented car accident victims often settle their cases for too little money before they have gotten all the medical care they need.

- Truck Accidents

West Virginia personal injury claims stemming from trucking accidents involving tractor trailers are generally more complex and difficult to litigate than auto accidents involving only passenger cars and/or passenger pick-up trucks. Below are five issues that distinguish injury claims caused by commercial truck accidents from injury claims caused by passenger vehicles. If properly understood by you and your West Virginia truck accident lawyer, effectively dealing with these issues can help you recover fair compensation in a timely manner. Thus, hiring an experienced, effective injury attorney is especially important when injured in a West Virginia truck accident.

- Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic Injuries, such as those involving brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, accidental amputations and certain neurological disorders, are devastating and often permanent. Whether they are caused by work-related accidents, medical mistakes, car accidents, truck crashes, defective products, prescription drug reactions, nursing home abuse or neglect, or other dangerous conditions, they have a tremendous, life-changing impact on the lives of the victims and their families in West Virginia.

- Brain Injuries

Proper screening and evaluations for brain injuries is essential in proving the effects and consequences of an injury. West Law Offices’ West Virginia brain injury lawyer is committed to helping people with brain injuries. We will zealously work to ensure that our clients receive the compensation and medical treatment they need and deserve.

- Spinal Cord Injuries

Physical, neurological, emotional, and cognitive care are all important in helping a person overcome the challenges presented by a spinal cord injury. Such a person may experience post traumatic stress disorder, phobias, anxiety, depression and overwhelming feelings of sadness, frustration and anger. West Virginia’s spinal cord injury lawyer at West Law Offices understands the importance of estimating costs of long term care and will work with life planners to ensure you receive enough compensation to live comfortably for the rest of your life. We limit the number of personal injury clients we accept so that we can give each one the care and attention they need.

- Medical Malpractice

Doctors and hospitals want West Virginian’s to believe that medical negligence is rare, but the Institute of Medicine estimates that over 50,000 Americans die each year from preventable medical errors. That’s more than the total who die each year from motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer, or AIDS. Many patients feel helpless when they’re injured by a doctor and wonder what if anything they can do if they or a loved one has been harmed by a medical error. Unfortunately, many West Virginia lawyers no longer handle medical malpractice claims due to changes in West Virginia law that make winning such claims more difficult. However, West Law Offices is committed to continuing to represent West Virginian’s who have been injured by the medical negligence of a doctor or other health care provider.

- Work-Related Accidents

. Mining Accidents;
. Construction Site Accidents;
. Falls / Burns / Explosions / Crushes;
. Exposure to Toxic Substances;

. Occupational Lung Disease;
. Defective Equipment Including Defective Safety Equipment;

- Nursing Home Abuse

Attorneys skilled in West Virginia personal injury law, not only help those who have been harmed by nursing home abuse and negligence, but their experience and advocacy helps keep our loved ones safe by assuring that nursing homes have proper standards in place, and that they’re held accountable if they don’t. Bedsores, medication errors, malnutrition, abuse and neglect are among the federal health and safety violations that nursing home patients face in West Virginia.

- Defective Products

West Virginia’s personal injury lawyer, at West Law Offices, will use experts to investigate the cause of your products failure and how it led to your injury. Our product liability lawyer will employ safety and design engineers and mechanics, metallurgists, draftsmen, machinists, accident reconstruction experts, physicists, rubber experts, scientists, chemists, doctors, electricians, and other experts to help determine how and why the dangerous product is defective.

- Slip and Fall

Slip and fall accidents can occur virtually anywhere – in supermarkets, schools, shopping malls, offices, and sidewalks. For example, your slip and fall may be caused by a wet, slippery surface, or a defect on a floor or sidewalk that causes you to trip. Faulty lighting is also a common cause of slip or trip and fall accidents. An accident involving a fall can cause severe and long-lasting personal injuries.
