Make safety the first priority and call 911 for immediate help.

Get medical care right away, even if injuries seem minor at first.

  • What Compensation Is Available After an Injury in Clarksburg?

    Depending on the details of your case, a Clarksburg personal injury attorney may be able to help you recover several types of damages:

    • Economic damages – medical bills, lost wages, and property repair or replacement.
    • Non-economic damages – pain, suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
    • Wrongful death damages – funeral costs, loss of companionship, and financial support for surviving family members.

    West Virginia applies a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover compensation if you are less than 51% at fault. However, the amount you receive will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault.
