You should make notes. With technology, most everyone has a cellular device. I recommend making notes of: date and time of the incident; weather conditions; conditions that caused the accident (speeding; running a stop sign; etc); and names of witnesses. Thereafter, one should keep notes on their treatment status; medical appointments; the negative impact of injury on their daily routine; activities that one is unable to do as a result of the injury; and any days of work that were missed.

Although most cases settle before trial, approximately 95%, we will go to trial if needed. However, we will work diligently to get our clients cases settled without the need of going to trial.

It depends on one's recovery from their injury. We want to ensure that our clients are back to their pre-injury status before trying to settle their claim. We don't want to settle the claim too quickly and later determine that our client still needs medical treatment; so, our main concern is the wellbeing of our clients.

In West Virginia, most injury actions MUST be filed within two (2) years of the injury. However, some actions have shorter limitations periods and some circumstances can extend the limitation periods.

An attorney can help in an injury claim by obtaining medical records and medical bills, evaluating the claim based upon the injuries and damages, and provide the client with a reasonable value of their claim. Studies show that injured persons who are represented by attorneys do much better than injured persons trying to settle their claim on their own.
