Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Morgantown

While we understand that no amount of money can heal physical injuries or bring back a loved one, The Moore Law Firm, PLLC is committed to pursuing just and fair awards through settlement or trial—whichever provides the best outcome for accident victims and grieving family members.

Personal injury cases we handle include:

  • Insurance bad faith: Insurance companies must act in good faith and treat you fairly. Unjustified denial of a claim or attempts to settle a claim for less than it is worth are examples of insurance bad faith. We know the insurance regulations and law and know exactly how to stand up against the insurance company.
  • Motorcycle accidents: Injuries in motorcycle accidents are often more severe than regular auto collisions. When other drivers act carelessly, the risks to motorcycle riders increase. We thoroughly investigate motorcycle accidents and ensure riders are properly compensated.
  • Motor vehicle accidents: Insurance adjusters are not on your side. We look out for your best interests. While you focus on recovering from your injuries, we can analyze your claim, investigate the accident, and pursue maximum compensation for your loss.
  • Product liability: When those who design, manufacture, or sell products fall short in reasonable standards of safety, serious injuries can occur. Our job is to hold negligent parties accountable when the intended use of the product has catastrophic consequences.
  • Slip and falls: Property owners have an obligation to ensure a hazard-free environment for non-trespassers. Neglecting their responsibility for due care leads to dangerous conditions that result in serious injuries.
  • Truck accidents: The size and weight of large trucks make them more dangerous. Trucking companies will act fast after an accident. Our attorneys have the resources and experience to quickly assemble a team to work for you.
  • Workplace accidents: Some accidents that occur on the job go beyond a claim for workers’ compensation. Deliberate intent cases arise when an employer intentionally exposes an employee to a dangerous condition.
  • Wrongful death: The loss of a loved one is devastating. If the loss was caused by the actions of another, the loved one’s family may be entitled to compensation. We guide you through each step of the process and will ensure justice is served. 

Understanding Your Rights After an Injury

After sustaining an injury, it’s crucial to understand your legal rights and the options available to you. At The Moore Law Firm, PLLC, we believe that knowledge is power. Our dedicated team is here to guide you through the complexities of personal injury law, ensuring you are fully informed every step of the way.

Here are key points to consider regarding your rights after an injury:

  • Right to Legal Representation: You are entitled to have an experienced attorney advocate on your behalf, ensuring your voice is heard and your interests are protected.
  • Right to a Fair Settlement: Insurance companies often aim to minimize payouts. Understanding your rights can help you negotiate for a fair settlement.

Commonly Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after an accident?

It's important to seek medical attention even if you feel fine. Document the scene with photos, gather witness contact information, and report the incident to the relevant authorities.

Will I have to go to court for my personal injury case?

Not necessarily. Many personal injury cases are settled out of court through negotiations. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your case may proceed to trial.

How is fault determined in a personal injury case?

Fault is typically determined by examining evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and any available video footage. The legal concept of negligence plays a crucial role in establishing who is at fault.

Can I still file a claim if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Yes, you can still file a claim even if you were partially at fault. West Virginia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which allows you to recover damages as long as you are less than 51% at fault.

What is the Statute of Limitations For a Personal Injury Claim in West Virginia?  

In West Virginia, the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim is generally two years from the date of the injury or accident. This means that you have two years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for your injuries. It's important to note that there may be certain exceptions and variations to this general rule depending on the specific circumstances of your case. Consult with a qualified Morgantown personal injury lawyer to understand the statute of limitations that applies to your situation and to ensure that you take appropriate legal action within the required timeframe.
