What the Firm Handles: Car, Truck, and Commercial Vehicle Crashes<\/h2>\n

The firm handles car accident claims, truck accident claims, and claims involving other commercial vehicles. A car crash often involves two drivers. A commercial crash often involves more people and far more records.<\/p>\n

Car accidents.<\/strong> Drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists can all be hurt in a car crash. The firm looks at how the crash happened and who may share fault.<\/p>\n

Truck and commercial vehicle crashes.<\/strong> One commercial crash can connect several parties. These may include the driver, the company that employs the driver, and the vehicle owner. Under W. Va. Code \u00a7 55-7-13d<\/a>, a person can be held liable for fault assigned to an agent or servant. The court then asks the jury to decide that issue.<\/p>\n

Federal rules also limit how long property-carrying drivers can drive. Under 49 CFR \u00a7 395.3<\/a>, drivers face an 11-hour driving limit and a 14-hour window. Driving logs and dispatch notes can matter in these cases.<\/p>\n

Serious Injuries and Wrongful Death Claims<\/h2>\n

Serious injury and wrongful death claims depend heavily on medical records. In a death case, the right person must file the claim on time.<\/p>\n

Traumatic brain injury.<\/strong> Keep every medical record, including first-visit notes. Also keep notes about memory, sleep, mood, or headaches that come up later. These records help show what changed after the crash.<\/p>\n

Spinal cord injury.<\/strong> A spinal cord injury can result from trauma such as a car crash. The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation<\/a> explains that the injury level and severity affect function and walking ability. Families often need to plan for long-term care, and that planning starts with records from doctors and therapists.<\/p>\n

Wrongful death.<\/strong> A wrongful death claim is brought by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate. The claim must be started within two years after the death, under W. Va. Code \u00a7 55-7-6<\/a>, subject to the provisions of section eighteen, article two, chapter fifty-five. W. Va. Code \u00a7 55-7-6<\/a> reads: “The provisions of this section shall not apply to actions brought for the death of any person occurring prior to July 1, 1988.” Damages may include sorrow, mental anguish, and solace. They may also include lost income and services, and medical, hospital, and funeral expenses. The jury, or the court in a case without a jury, may direct in what proportions the damages are shared among the surviving spouse and children, brothers, sisters, parents, and other eligible persons, after making provision for those expenditures, if any, specified in subdivision (2), subsection (c) of this section.<\/p>\n
