Personal injuries are severe injuries that result in permanent disability, disfigurement, or long-term impairment. These typically include spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, severe burns, amputations, and injuries that prevent you from returning to work or living independently.

The value depends on many factors including medical expenses, lost wages, future care needs, pain and suffering, and degree of disability. Catastrophic injury cases often result in substantial settlements or verdicts due to their life-changing nature and long-term financial impact.

In West Virginia, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of injury. However, there are exceptions, so it's crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, future lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and necessary home modifications or assistive devices.

Most catastrophic injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don't pay attorney fees unless we win your case. We advance all case expenses and only collect our fee from the settlement or verdict.
