Commonly Asked Questions

What is the statute of limitations in West Virginia?

You typically have two years from the time of your injury to file a personal injury claim, and missing this deadline could mean forfeiting the right to file a suit. It’s critical that you speak to a lawyer about your legal options as soon as possible.

Can I still get compensation if I’m partially at fault for an accident in West Virginia?

Yes, West Virginia has comparative negligence, which means that you can still recover compensation if you are considered no more than 50% at fault for the accident. Even if you can recover compensation, however, the amount you recover can be reduced by the percentage of fault you’re assigned for the accident.

What types of compensation can I recover from a personal injury claim?

Depending on the specifics of your accident and the losses involved, you might be able to recover compensation for your past and future medical bills, past and future income losses, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and more. To figure out the potential value of your specific case, it’s best to talk to a proven injury lawyer.

How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

If you sustained injuries because of someone else’s negligence, then you may have grounds to file a personal injury claim. A lawyer who is experienced in these types of cases can review your case to help you determine if you have a viable claim.
