If a truck crash on I-77 hurt you or someone you love, you may have a claim against the parties who may be responsible. This page is a plain-language guide for anyone searching for an I-77 truck crash injury lawyer West Virginia residents can reach. West Virginia generally allows two years to file a personal injury lawsuit, and exceptions may apply (W. Va. Code \u00a7 55-2-12<\/a>). Below, you’ll find how these claims generally work, what evidence matters early, and how a free case review can help you decide on a next step.<\/p>\n

What an I-77 Truck Crash Injury Claim Covers<\/h2>\n

An I-77 truck crash injury claim is a civil claim. An injured person, or a family after a death, brings it against the parties who may be responsible for the crash.<\/p>\n

I-77 runs through parts of southern and central West Virginia. Heavy trucks share those lanes with cars, vans, and pickups. A crash can involve one truck, several vehicles, or a commercial vehicle that is not a large tractor-trailer.<\/p>\n

The firm handles car accidents, truck accidents, commercial vehicle accidents, catastrophic injuries<\/a>, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and wrongful death. We serve injured drivers and passengers across West Virginia, and the families of people killed or seriously hurt on I-77.<\/p>\n

The type of vehicle matters legally. West Virginia’s commercial vehicle statute uses its own definition of a commercial motor vehicle, so the kind of vehicle can change which rules apply. W. Va. Code \u00a7 55-7-32<\/a> sets out that definition. If you don’t know what vehicle was involved, the police crash report may list it.<\/p>\n\n

Who May Be Responsible After an I-77 Truck Crash<\/h2>\n

The truck driver, the company that employs or controls the driver, and the vehicle owner may each be responsible, depending on the facts. The same statute defines an “employer defendant” to include the vehicle owner, the driver’s employer, and any entity with legal control over the vehicle or driver. W. Va. Code \u00a7 55-7-32<\/a> also limits some noneconomic damages against employer defendants, and that limit does not apply in every case.<\/p>\n

A claim may be brought against a truck driver, and the company may also be named. Some claims also look at how a company hired, kept, or supervised a driver. Some crash claims may also involve questions about how a company hired or supervised its drivers, depending on the facts. These ask whether an employer reasonably checked a worker’s background for the job. McCormick v. West Virginia Department of Public Safety<\/a> addresses this theory.<\/p>\n

West Virginia’s commercial vehicle statute, W. Va. Code \u00a7 55-7-32<\/a>, defines “commercial motor vehicle” and does not address comparative fault. Under W. Va. Code \u00a7 55-7-13c<\/a>, your own fault bars recovery only if it is greater than the combined fault of all others. If it is less, your recovery is reduced by your share of fault.<\/p>\n

Some insurers may dispute a claim or the fault they assign to each party. Keep a record of every call and letter.<\/p>\n

Evidence That May Matter Early<\/h2>\n

The police crash report, scene photos, witness contacts, and trucking records are often the first evidence that matters. Start with these items:<\/p>\n
