We know Route 340 and Route 9—and we know how to beat the insurance companies.
A car accident can turn your life upside down in seconds. Medical bills pile up. Your car is damaged. You're in pain. The at-fault driver's insurance company is already building their defense. You need a lawyer who knows Charles Town's roads and has recovered millions for accident victims.
Manchin Injury Law Group has handled hundreds of car accident cases across Jefferson County since 1983. We know Route 340, Route 9, Washington Street, and Patrick Henry Way—the crash zones where Charles Town accidents happen. Our founder Timothy J. Manchin has been practicing law since 1980 and was President of the West Virginia Association for Justice. Attorney Taylor B. Downs handles your case directly.
We investigate the accident, gather evidence, calculate your true damages, negotiate with insurance, and take your case to trial if necessary.

Time is critical after a car accident. Evidence disappears—skid marks fade, vehicle damage is repaired, road conditions change. Witnesses move or forget details. Surveillance footage is overwritten. Medical records get misfiled.
The statute of limitations gives you only 2 years to file a lawsuit. The sooner you hire a lawyer, the stronger your case becomes.
We photograph the accident scene and vehicle damage. We get police reports and witness statements. We obtain medical records and expert reports. We calculate your economic damages (medical bills, vehicle repair, lost wages) and non-economic damages (pain, suffering, disability). We communicate with insurance adjusters so you don’t have to. We negotiate aggressively for a fair settlement.
If the insurance company refuses to pay what your case is worth, we file a lawsuit and take them to trial.
You need a lawyer with deep roots in Jefferson County—someone who knows the roads where accidents happen, the courts where cases are tried, the judges who preside, and the juries who decide. Timothy J. Manchin founded this firm in 1983 with decades of experience. Taylor B. Downs handles your case directly, not a paralegal or call center. You get straight talk, honest advice, and aggressive representation.
Car accidents produce both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include medical bills (ER, surgery, ongoing treatment), lost wages (past and future), vehicle repair or replacement, rental car costs, and out-of-pocket expenses. Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, scarring and disfigurement, disability, and PTSD. In cases where the at-fault driver was reckless (drunk, speeding, racing), punitive damages are possible. We calculate all damages and demand full compensation.

Charles Town sits at the crossroads of major routes. U.S. Route 340 runs through the area—a corridor where high-speed crashes are common. Route 9 and Washington Street see regular rear-end collisions and intersection accidents.
Patrick Henry Way and other local roads experience distracted driving, drunk driving, and speeding crashes. Charles Town County traffic data shows consistent crash patterns in Charles Town, Ranson, Shepherdstown, and Harpers Ferry.
Adverse weather (ice, snow, fog) makes these roads dangerous in winter. The busier the road, the more likely you are to be hit by a careless driver.

As a former personal injury attorney, Timothy J. Manchin has gained the experience and knowledge that many attorneys simply do not have access to.
Call 911 and report the accident to police. Get the at-fault driver’s name, phone, address, insurance info, and license plate. Take photos of vehicle damage, the accident scene, road conditions, and traffic signs. Get contact info from witnesses. Do not admit fault or apologize. Seek medical attention even if you feel fine—some injuries don’t appear for hours or days. Then call Manchin Injury Law Group at (304) 317-7786.
