In 2006, 410 people were killed in car crashes in West Virginia. 36% of these crashes involved alcohol.

When car accidents happen, the lives of the people involved and their families can change drastically. Medical bills begin to pile up; work is missed; simple chores can become all day projects.

Rist Law Offices provides help to car accident victims in West Virginia who are facing these problems every day. Soon after an accident occurs, insurance companies will begin to investigate the case. The phone will ring and an insurance adjuster will ask questions about your accident. At this point it is critical to have the assistance of an experienced attorney because everything that is told to the insurance company is used to evaluate your case.

While the insurance adjuster might sound like a nice enough person, you must keep in mind that this person is attempting to estimate how much money the insurance company could have to pay as a result of the automobile accident. Their job is not to pay you as much as possible. To the contrary, the insurance adjuster is trying to evaluate and settle your case as quickly as possible.

The problem with this type of quick evaluation is that many injuries are unknown until days, weeks and even months after an accident. Rist Law Offices carefully reviews and investigates every single case from the start. Once we are hired, the insurance company will have to talk to us directly, which lets our clients focus on recovering from the car accident instead of worrying about an insurance adjuster, for as little as possible.
