Whether you have suffered whiplash, a head injury or broken bones, you may be entitled to compensation to help cover medical expenses, pain and suffering damages and other costs.

Help With Any Kind Of Vehicle Crash
Our firm takes on auto crash cases of all types. Some of the most common include the following:
- Motorcycle accidents: Many drivers do not see motorcyclists or drive too close to them, resulting in dangerous crashes or the motorcyclist having to lay down their bike to avoid a direct impact through no fault of the motorcyclist
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents: Walking and bicycling are becoming more popular modes of transportation, and drivers need to be aware of them. Pedestrians and bicyclists have increased risk of being hit by a motorist.
- Semi accidents: Semis are dangerous and difficult machines to operate. Any distraction or aggressive driving by a semi driver can turn into a serious crash very quickly. Right now in West Virginia, there are many oil and gas trucks on our roads. Many are operated by out of state companies and drivers that are not familiar with the roads and who try to take the trucks where they don’t belong, causing serious injury.
- Distracted driving accidents: With cellphones, texting, music players, radios, passengers and other factors providing a constant source of distraction for drivers, crashes due to distracted driving are especially prevalent.
