Serving Fairmont & Marion County Since 1983
You were hurt, someone else was at fault, and the insurance company is already working against you. Our Fairmont car accident attorneys have fought for injury victims across Marion County for 40+ years and we don't get paid unless you win.
When you hire Manchin Injury Law Group, you’re not getting a case number. You’re getting attorneys who have spent decades in West Virginia courtrooms fighting for injured people.
Our founder Timothy J. Manchin has practiced personal injury law since 1980. A WVU College of Law graduate, former President of the West Virginia Association for Justice, and Best Lawyers in America honoree, Tim has represented thousands of West Virginians in car accident cases and knows exactly how local insurers operate. Attorney Taylor B. Downs handles Fairmont cases directly, accessible, thorough, and consistently praised by clients for making a stressful process feel manageable.
We investigate your crash, negotiate with insurers, and go to trial if necessary. If you can’t come to us, we’ll come to you at home or at the hospital. Free consultation, no fee unless we win.
Our Fairmont office at 1543 Fairmont Ave., #203, Fairmont, WV 26554 has served clients across Marion County since 1983, making us one of the longest-established injury law practices in the area. We serve clients throughout Marion County and surrounding communities from this location.

The insurance company isn’t waiting and neither should you. Evidence disappears, deadlines approach, and early legal guidance can make a significant difference in your outcome. Talk to a Fairmont car accident lawyer today, free of charge.
After a crash, your focus should be on recovering, not fighting an insurance company. Your Manchin Injury Law Group attorney handles the heavy lifting: investigating the accident, gathering police reports and medical records, calculating the true value of your damages, and negotiating with insurers who are trained to pay as little as possible. If a fair settlement isn’t offered, we take it to court.
Unlike large out-of-state firms, we’re local and that matters. We know Marion County courts, we know the roads where these accidents happen, and we know the insurers operating in this market. Timothy Manchin has been doing this since 1980 and our office has been in Fairmont since 1983. Taylor Downs handles your case personally. You won’t be passed off to a paralegal. Every client gets direct attorney access and honest answers from day one.
West Virginia law allows car accident victims to recover two categories of damages: Economic Damages and Non-Economic Damages.
Economic Damages refer to tangible financial losses, including medical bills (current and future), lost wages and diminished earning capacity, rehabilitation and therapy costs, vehicle repair or replacement, and out-of-pocket expenses.
Non-Economic Damages refer to personal losses, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, permanent disability or disfigurement, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Insurance companies routinely contest non-economic damages because they are harder to quantify. Our attorneys work with medical and financial experts to make sure every category of loss is documented and fought for.

Wrongful Death
West Virginia is consistently among the most dangerous states for drivers, recording 264 traffic fatalities in 2022 at a rate of 1.72 deaths per 100 million miles traveled, well above the national average. In 2023, the state recorded 855 serious injuries from traffic crashes. Speed-related accidents account for roughly 29% of all fatal crashes statewide, while alcohol-impaired driving contributed to 60 fatalities in 2022 alone.
Marion County’s road network creates specific risks for Fairmont drivers. I-79 runs directly through the area and is one of West Virginia’s most active and most dangerous interstate corridors. US-250, US-19, WV-218, and WV-273 are frequent sites of serious collisions, particularly in adverse weather conditions. Seriously injured Fairmont residents are often transported to Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, which reflects the severity of crashes on these roads.
These aren’t just numbers. They represent real people dealing with injuries, lost income, and insurance companies that move quickly to limit what they pay. If you’ve been hurt on Fairmont’s roads, the time to act is now.
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.
Car accident injuries range from soft tissue damage that insurers dismiss as minor, to catastrophic conditions that change lives permanently. We regularly represent victims dealing with:
Some injuries don’t show symptoms immediately. Seeking medical attention right after a crash is critical both for your health and your claim. If your injuries required transport to Ruby Memorial Hospital or another trauma center, the severity of your case demands experienced legal representation.
When you work with Manchin Injury Law Group, your case is handled by attorneys who know West Virginia law and Marion County courts, not passed to a junior associate or a call center.
