When negligence upends your life in West Virginia, knowing how the law works puts you in control.
Waiting Too Long
Delaying medical care or letting the two-year deadline under W. Va. Code § 55-2-12 approach both weaken your claim. Evidence fades and insurers seize on gaps in treatment.
Talking Too Much to the Insurer
Giving a recorded statement or guessing about fault can be used against you. Insurers are skilled at turning casual remarks into admissions.
Accepting the First Offer
Early offers are usually low and often arrive before the full extent of your injuries is known. Once you sign a release, you cannot reopen the claim.
Posting on Social Media
A photo or post can be twisted to suggest you aren't as hurt as you claim. Assume the insurer is watching.
