Establishing the At-Fault Party’s Negligence
In a personal injury claim, it falls to you to demonstrate that your injuries were the result of the other party’s actions. Our team helps you collect evidence that shows that the at-fault party owed you a duty of care, breached their duty of care to you through careless or reckless actions, and caused the accident that led to the damages you suffered. Our team helps you build a strong case to successfully demonstrate these elements.
Damages You Can Recover in a Parkersburg Personal Injury Claim
Recovering your losses is the central focus of a personal injury claim. Our attorneys are skilled negotiators who know how to communicate and use targeted strategies to get favorable results. We research and carefully calculate the value of your case so we can fight effectively. The losses you may be able to recover can be grouped into the following categories:
- Economic damages: This category provides for monetary losses, such as medical expenses, lost wages, lost earning capacity, and property damage costs. A settlement may also cover funeral and burial expenses for accidents that result in death.
- Non-economic damages: This category provides compensation for losses suffered due to trauma, such as pain and suffering, emotional and mental distress, lost quality of life, and loss of consortium
- Punitive damages: This category of damages is reserved for acts of gross negligence. These damages are designed to punish at-fault parties and provide you with additional compensation if you can provide clear and convincing evidence of egregious harm.
Any personal injury settlement you may receive may be influenced by injury severity, partial fault, and policy limits. Our team can also discuss how the two-year statute of limitations (West Virginia Code § 55-2-12) and potential exceptions could affect your case.
