Personal Injury Claims – Accidents happen when we least expect them, and the aftermath can leave victims facing physical pain, emotional stress, and financial burdens. Whether it’s a car accident, workplace injury, slip and fall, or other negligent incident, understanding your rights under West Virginia personal injury law is critical. At Woelfel & Woelfel LLP, we help clients throughout West Virginia navigate the legal process and pursue the compensation they deserve.
West Virginia follows a comparative negligence system, meaning that if you are partially at fault for an accident, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 20% responsible for a car accident, your damages award is reduced by 20%. Understanding this rule is essential to evaluating your claim and planning the best strategy to maximize recovery.
Timing is also crucial. In most personal injury cases in West Virginia, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident. Failing to file a claim on time can result in losing your right to compensation. Our team ensures claims are filed promptly and handled efficiently, giving clients peace of mind during a stressful time.
We handle a wide range of personal injury cases, including:
- Vehicle and trucking accidents
- Boating accidents along the Ohio River
