Car Accident Claims In West Virginia
You have just two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim in West Virginia. You do not want to miss that deadline, or you will not be able to file a claim. It is better to get started as soon as you can so that we have time to investigate the accident and prepare the lawsuit.
To be eligible for compensation from the accident, you must be 50% or less at fault for it. If you are above that threshold, you cannot get compensation. If you share fault for the accident, your compensation will be reduced by the amount of your fault. So, if you have 30% of the fault, your compensation will be reduced by 30%.
If we need to take your case to court, we will meet at the Ohio County Circuit Court in the Ohio City-County Building on Chapline Street in Wheeling.
Common Concerns After A Car Accident
One of the biggest worries people have after a car accident is how to pay the medical bills. Many people get treatment at the WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital. It is not unusual for people to have debt or medical liens with the hospital. We know how to get bills deferred until after your case settles or goes to trial.
Another way we can help you is to handle the insurance company adjusters and lawyers for you. We know their tactics and how to fight them, so you don’t have to.
