There are few things in life more distressing than being harmed or injured because of another person’s negligence. So, if you were hurt and it wasn’t your fault, are you simply stuck bearing the physical, emotional, and financial burden all on your own? And what happens if the other person’s actions were obviously negligent but didn’t rise to the level of criminal charges?
Fortunately, West Virginia law provides a path for people to hold negligent or reckless parties liable for their actions or omissions, even in the absence of criminal allegations.
By filing a personal injury claim or, when necessary, taking your case to court, you can recover compensation that covers the full breadth of damages you’ve already suffered and will continue to suffer.
The reality of life after a serious injury or accident is much more difficult than most people realize, and those responsible for causing you harm rarely (if ever) step forward to help.
Filing a personal injury claim or lawsuit is the most effective way to assert your rights and seek compensation for everything that you’ve been through, everything that you are still dealing with, and everything that you are expected to endure in the future. Hiring a Charleston personal injury lawyer is the most effective way to make sure that your rights are protected.

Accidental injuries are more common than you may realize. Even if you’re a cautious driver or ask questions every time you go to the doctor, you can still suffer immeasurable harm by just a single act of negligence.
Let’s consider some of the following statistics for accidents, injuries, and deaths in the United States:
You could do everything right and still be hurt. While this isn’t always an easy thought to come to terms with, the good news is that you have options for dealing with the aftermath.
One of the main purposes of filing a personal injury claim or lawsuit is to recover compensation that makes you “whole” again. While nothing can ever undo the harm or trauma that you endured, compensation for related damages is one of the most effective ways for accident survivors to address everything that they’ve been through.
In West Virginia, compensation can be broken down into three distinct categories: economic damages, noneconomic damages, and punitive damages.
Both economic and noneconomic damages are compensatory, meaning that they are awarded to compensate you for a specific loss that you’ve suffered. This could be a financial loss like:
Similarly, you can also be compensated for non-financial losses like:
Punitive damages are not meant to compensate you for any specific loss. Instead, they are leveraged as a financial punishment against the at-fault party in the event of malicious or grossly negligent actions or omissions.
Limits and caps on compensation may exist in your specific case, so it’s best to work closely with a Charleston personal injury attorney to determine the correct value of your claim. Otherwise, you may miss out on financial compensation that is necessary for your recovery.
