Every moment that passes weakens your injury claim. Medical records get misfiled. Witnesses move away or forget details. Evidence disappears. Surveillance footage expires. The statute of limitations is a hard deadline. The sooner you hire a lawyer, the stronger your case becomes.
We investigate your injury by gathering medical records, police reports, photographs, witness statements, and expert evaluations. We calculate economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, future care) and non-economic damages (pain, suffering, disability). We handle all insurance communication. We prove negligence and liability.
We negotiate for fair settlement or take your case to trial.
You need a lawyer who is part of your community, not a distant corporate firm. We’ve been in Berkeley County since 1983. We know the courts, judges, and juries. Timothy J. Manchin spent years in insurance defense, so he knows how insurance companies operate.
Taylor B. Downs answers your calls and handles your case directly. We work on contingency—no upfront cost to you.
Injury law protects your right to economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include all medical bills, surgery, therapy, rehabilitation, medications, medical equipment, transportation to appointments, and lost wages.
Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, scarring, disability, and PTSD. In cases of gross negligence or intentional harm, punitive damages are possible. We claim every dollar you’re entitled to.

Berkeley County includes Martinsburg, Hedgesville, Falling Waters, and surrounding communities. I-81 runs through the county as the busiest highway corridor—a constant source of serious collisions, multi-vehicle pileups, and traffic fatalities. WV-9 (Edwin Miller Boulevard) sees regular accidents. Winchester Avenue in Martinsburg experiences intersection crashes and pedestrian accidents.
Motor vehicle accidents remain the leading cause of serious injury in West Virginia, with fatality rates that exceed national averages. But accidents are just one injury source. Slip and falls happen in retail stores, restaurants, parking lots, and homes. Nursing homes and assisted living facilities occasionally fail to prevent falls, medication errors, or infections.
Workplace injuries occur in manufacturing, construction, and service industries. Medical malpractice happens in hospitals and clinics. Each injury deserves compensation.
Dealing with an injury is hard enough without worrying about legal battles. Call us today for a free consultation and let our experienced team handle the fight for you.
