Frequently Asked Questions

Under W. Va. Code § 55-7-6, a wrongful death lawsuit generally must be filed within two years of the date of death. Certain circumstances can affect this deadline, so it’s best to consult an attorney as soon as possible.

How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim in West Virginia?

Yes. West Virginia uses a modified comparative fault rule: if you’re found less than 51% at fault, your damages are reduced by your share of fault, but if you’re 51% or more at fault, you can’t recover. This is relevant in motor vehicle and other accident cases.

Does West Virginia allow recovery if I was partly at fault for a motor vehicle accident?

His experience includes brain injury, motor vehicle accident, products liability, workplace accident, insurance bad faith, and medical malpractice cases in both West Virginia state and federal courts.
