Every day you wait, evidence becomes harder to find. Medical records get lost in filing systems. Witness memories fade. Surveillance footage expires. Statute of limitations tick down. Insurance companies count on delay to weaken your claim. Don’t let that happen.
A personal injury lawyer investigates your injury systematically—gathering medical records, witness statements, photographs, and expert reports. We calculate your true damages including medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
We handle all negotiations with insurance so you can rest and heal. We prove negligence and liability. And if a fair settlement isn’t offered, we go to trial.
We’ve been here since 1983. We know the courts, judges, and juries. We understand the roads and intersections where accidents happen. Timothy J. Manchin spent years in insurance defense—he knows how companies try to cheat you.
Taylor B. Downs answers your calls, explains your case, and treats you with respect. We work on contingency so you pay nothing unless we win.
Injury law protects your right to recover both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include hospital bills, surgery costs, medication, therapy, transportation to appointments, lost wages, and future medical care.
Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of life’s pleasures, scarring, disability, and PTSD. Gross negligence can lead to punitive damages. We identify all damages and demand full compensation.

Jefferson County spans Charles Town, Ranson, Shepherdstown, Harpers Ferry, and surrounding towns. U.S. Route 340 runs through the county—a major corridor where motor vehicle accidents are frequent. Route 9 and local roads see speeding, distracted driving, and intersection crashes. Medical facilities in the region sometimes commit errors or provide negligent care.
Nursing homes and assisted living facilities occasionally fail to prevent falls, infections, or medication errors. Slip and fall injuries happen in businesses, parking lots, and homes. Workplace injuries occur in construction, manufacturing, and service industries. The data shows consistent injury patterns, and each one deserves compensation.
Opioid-related injuries persist—from 2018’s 37,386 West Virginia residents receiving opioids to 2024’s 22,691, with 11.3% of the state’s population still receiving opioid medications, creating a backdrop for addiction-related injuries and claims.
