Product Liability
In West Virginia, manufacturers, sellers, and distributors of products have a duty to sell goods that are free from defects. If they fail in this duty, they are liable for injuries caused by defective products. If you’ve been seriously injured or a loved one killed from the use of a defective product, a product liability claim can provide you with compensation for personal injury or wrongful death.
Injuries and loss of life in product liability cases can often be traced back to at least one of three causes: a design defect, an error in manufacturing, or a failure to warn consumers about potential harm. The types of products that can seriously injure and even cause death are wide ranging from kitchen appliances to lawn tools to industrial or farm machinery.
In addition to Talc litigation, our legal team has been involved in many high-profile dangerous products cases related to medication and equipment. Our experienced Charleston products liability attorneys will investigate your case and outline your options to pursue those responsible for your harm.

Workplace Accidents
Worker’s compensation benefits are provided by most employers as per West Virginia law, and these benefits are meant to help a worker cope with the financial damages associated with a work-related injury or illness. Worker’s compensation benefits can pay for medical care, a portion of lost wages, rehabilitation, and permanent impairment. There are also benefits available to dependents of those who died in a workplace accident.
It’s an unfortunate fact that, even though these benefits are available, many workers still face obstacles in their search for compensation. This continues to occur in cases where an injury or illness clearly qualifies for benefits. If you’ve been injured at work, you have rights under the state’s worker’s compensation laws.
