What compensation am I eligible for?

If you are injured as a result of another party's negligence, you may be eligible to receive financial compensation for medical costs (including future medical costs), rehabilitation costs, loss of wages (including future wages), and pain and suffering. In the event that a loved one has suffered a catastrophic brain or spinal cord injury or a loved one has been killed, a personal injury or wrongful death claim can help you obtain financial compensation to cover a lifetime of medical costs, loss of income, funerary costs, and pain and suffering. Serving all of West Virginia, a personal injury lawyer from The Masters Law Firm will work diligently to ensure you obtain fair and just financial compensation for your losses.

Is there a statute of limitations for my case?

Depending on the circumstances, the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit in West Virginia can range from 1 to 10 years.
