Skilled Auto Accident Lawyer in West Virginia Fights for Clients

West Virginia attorney secures compensation for injured crash victims

Car accidents happen in an instant, but without knowledgeable legal representation, the process of receiving fair compensation can take months—or even longer. Sadly, in many instances, victims of auto accidents fail to obtain the payment they deserve. The team at Mountaineer Criminal Law Group, operating out of West Virginia, is dedicated to aggressively advocating for injured West Virginians who are dealing with the aftermath of vehicle collisions. Having recovered millions for clients in similar situations, our group is committed to protecting your rights against insurance companies and, when necessary, in court.

Proficient legal help for car, truck, and motorcycle accident cases

Every year, nearly 300 fatalities occur on roadways across West Virginia, with hundreds more suffering from severe injuries. While many cases involve crashes between passenger vehicles, accidents involving commercial trucks frequently result in greater harm due to the sheer size and weight of the trucks. Similarly, motorcycle collisions pose a considerable risk of catastrophic injury since bikers lack the protective barriers afforded to passengers in vehicles. Regardless of the specifics surrounding your accident, our team works to secure the compensation you need for medical costs, lost income, property damage, and recovery from both emotional and physical trauma.

Common causes of vehicle collisions

Each incident on the road has unique circumstances, but some factors commonly contribute to crashes, including the following:

• Alcohol and drugs — Even when no DUI charge is issued, a motorist under the influence of drugs or alcohol may still have been too impaired to safely operate their vehicle.
• Distractions — Cell phones, in-car technology, eating, or even conversations can divert a driver’s attention from the road.
• Failure to adapt to weather — Rain, snow, and ice increase driving risks, and motorists who fail to adjust their speed and caution level accordingly endanger others, especially on West Virginia’s winding and steep terrain.
• Speeding and ignoring traffic laws — Driving too fast, running red lights, or disobeying traffic signals may seem minor but are often the cause of serious accidents.
• Mechanical failure — Faulty brakes or malfunctioning vehicle components could result in liability on behalf of the manufacturer if those failures lead to an accident.

At Mountaineer Criminal Law Group, we focus on helping victims of vehicle accidents maximize their compensation by ensuring those at fault are held accountable.

Navigating liability and insurance claims

West Virginia follows an at-fault auto insurance system. This means that the at-fault driver’s insurance carrier is responsible for covering the medical and property expenses of accident victims. Working with an experienced attorney is crucial to presenting a strong case, particularly when liability is debated.

Our team may employ accident reconstruction specialists, gather detailed eyewitness testimony, or use other methods to establish fault and prove negligence. West Virginia law allows insurance companies up to 40 days to process claims, and Mountaineer Criminal Law Group ensures all necessary evidence is delivered promptly to get you closer to the outcome you deserve.
