If you were hurt in West Virginia, understanding your rights is the first step toward recovery.
The Hazards of Mountain Driving
West Virginia's terrain means narrow two-lane roads, sharp switchbacks, steep grades, and limited shoulders. Blind curves, runaway-truck risk on long downgrades, and sudden fog or ice make these roads unforgiving of any mistake.
Common Causes of Crashes
Crossing the center line on a curve, following too closely on a downgrade, brake failure on a long descent, and speeding for the conditions are frequent culprits. Falling rock and poorly maintained guardrails add further danger.
Who May Be Liable
Liability may rest with another driver, a trucking company whose brakes failed, or in some cases a government entity responsible for a known, unaddressed road hazard. Sorting this out requires investigation into the specific conditions that caused your crash.
