Car Accident Injuries in Fairmont WV

A car accident can change your life, health, and finances forever. As wages are lost due to the inability to work, medical bills mount, and long-term medical treatment is required, it is easy to become overwhelmed with all of it. You don’t have to manage this alone. Our firm has handled thousands of car accident claims over the course of twenty-five years and has the ability to answer your questions and help you through the process.

If you have been seriously injured in a Fairmont auto collision, you need someone looking out for your interests and protecting your legal right to compensation that you need and deserve.

Compensation will vary according to the severity of your injuries, the cost of medical treatment, and the probability of full recovery. Insurance limits on both your policy and the policy of the at-fault driver will also determine how much is possible to obtain in the end.

Some of the most common injuries occurring in Fairmont car accidents are:

  • Shoulder injuries
  • Foot injuries
  • Head trauma and brain injuries
  • Spinal injuries
  • Whiplash and lower back injuries
  • Wrongful death

Keep in mind that the insurance company has one primary goal: to limit the amount paid out in claims. Each company has its own arsenal of in-house or contracted attorneys who will spend countless hours negotiating for the smallest possible settlement amount.

Our Case Results

Car Accident Injuries

Jeff Robinette was hired by a young woman who had sustained permanent injuries to her foot due to an auto collision. The insurance company offered such a small amount and dealt with her in such a dismissive manner that the treatment of her case amounted to bad faith on the insurance company’s part. Jeff was able to obtain a substantial settlement which allowed this young woman and her husband to pay medical bills, buy a car and a home, and start building a future together.

Brain Injury

While timbering in WV, a heavy equipment operator sustained a permanent brain injury while performing the duties of his job. What price can you put on the loss of a fully functioning, fully reasoning brain? Jeff Robinette was able to negotiate a settlement that was annuitized to provide for this man for the rest of his life.

Crushed Foot Injury

While working in Morgantown, WV for a large national retailer, our client, a young woman in her early twenties, was ordered to use equipment that she was not properly trained to use. In the course of attempting to complete her task, she sustained a severe crush injury to her foot. Due to this incident, our client lost full use of this foot for the rest of her life and was living with chronic, persistent pain.

Our firm was able to obtain a sizable settlement which took care of all her medical bills and future treatment for her foot injury. The settlement was ample enough to allow this young woman to go back to college and retrain for employment which will accommodate her permanent disability.
