Charleston, Personal Injury FAQs
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in WV or KY?
In West Virginia, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. In Kentucky, the limit is one year. Certain exceptions may apply, such as cases involving minors or claims against government entities, so it’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
What types of damages can I recover?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of earning capacity, property damage, and in some cases, punitive damages.
Do I have to go to court for my case?
Not necessarily. Many personal injury cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we are prepared to take your case to trial.
What should I do immediately after an accident?
Seek medical attention, document the scene with photos, gather witness contact information, file a police report, and avoid speaking to the insurance company before consulting with a lawyer.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
At Hoover Law PLLC, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case.
