We recognize that your case is important, and this fact is not changed by the precautions which are being taken to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. For now, our office remains open, and we are all here working. However, we are attempting to limit in-person meetings temporarily.

Now What?

Cases that are not in litigation are proceeding as they normally would. Most insurance adjusters and opposing attorneys are in their offices or working from home, and thus are readily available. Documents that must be signed can be delivered either by mail or electronically, depending upon whether an original signature is required.

We will continue to take on new cases as well as work on existing cases, even if circumstances require us to do so from home. We have the technology that allows us to do that if it becomes necessary.

Require In-Person Contact?

If your case is at a stage requiring in-person contact, the timing of those proceedings may be affected by matters outside of our control, such as court closures and bans on in-person meetings. However, even in those cases, we will attempt to keep your case moving as quickly as possible by using the latest technology and attempting to convince other involved parties to do so as well.

Simply put, our commitment is to keep your case moving while you remain safely in your home. You may rest assured that none of our social distancing procedures will keep us from working on your case.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know whether I have a case?

You have a case if you’re injured and someone else has legal fault for what occurred. You must be able to gather facts to prove the liability of the other party. Intentional harm is not required. In fact, most cases are based on negligence or careless behavior that creates an unreasonable risk of harm. At your case consultation, our lawyers can explain whether you have a case and the reasons for our opinion.

How much time do I have to file a lawsuit?

In West Virginia, you have two years to file most personal injury lawsuits. However, there are some exceptions. Two years can seem like a long time, but you need to investigate, build and prepare your case. Always contact a lawyer as soon as possible.

How will my lawyer determine the value of my case?

A lawyer will determine the value of your case by evaluating the losses that you have because of the injury. Then, they compare them to the types of losses that a victim may claim under the law. Other factors may affect your case value, too, like the ability to collect compensation, comparative negligence and the strength of the proofs in your case.

What steps should I take immediately after an injury to protect my rights?

To protect your rights after an injury, get medical attention without delay. Do what you can to prevent additional harm. Don’t discard anything related to the accident like torn clothing. If you can, take photos of the accident scene and your injuries. Contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
