At the Manchin Injury Law Group, you are a name, not a case number. You are family, not just one of you following a car accident. Chances are the insurance company failed to understand and sympathize with your side of the story. You feel overwhelmed. You feel alone.

Trust our legal team’s experience as they pursue the recovery you need. Let our years of settling and litigating personal injury claims give you optimism and confidence when all else seems lost. We know the stakes. We are well aware of the obstacles. Far too much is at stake for a quick settlement that ignores the long-term personal and financial problems you face.

We offer a free initial consultation at our office in the Manchin Professional Building — our home since 1983 — conveniently located in Fairmont. If you are unable to visit our firm, we can come to your home or hospital room.

AWARDS & HONORS

We treat each of our clients with respect, dignity, and compassion – when you walk into our doors, you are family.

Most personal injury cases rely on the legal theory of negligence. This is a broad term that holds that we all have an inherent responsibility to act with reasonable care around one another.

For example, we have a legal responsibility to follow traffic rules, watch for pedestrians, and even keep the property we own safe and maintained. Professionals like physicians, nurses, and employers have a legal responsibility to provide adequate care and a safe workplace. When we violate these terms and someone else suffers harm as a result, we call it “negligence.”

Collecting damages in a personal injury lawsuit involves four different steps:
STEP 1 1

Establishing duty of care. First, an attorney must establish that the defendant (person being sued) owed the plaintiff (victim) a “duty of care.” Drivers owe a duty of care to others on the road, physicians owe a duty of care to their patients, and manufacturers owe a duty of care to their consumers, for example.

STEP 2 2

Showing a breach. Next, a personal injury attorney must show the defendant violated his or her duty of care by committing negligence.

STEP 3 3

Proving cause. A West Virginia personal injury attorney must not only show that the defendant violated a duty of care, but also that the negligence directly led to the injury.

STEP 4 4

Illustrating extent of the damages. Finally, the plaintiff’s attorney must show that the victim suffered damages as a result, such as medical bills or lost wages from missing work.

Community Involvement

We have a passion for giving back to the community we love.
