Beckley WV Car Accident Lawyer | Beckley WV Car Accident Death Lawyer

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 provide 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.

The types of compensation that a person can recover as a result of an automobile accident includes the following:

+ Costs of medical bills, including physical therapy, surgeries and
   other treatment
+ Lost wages and income
+ The costs of future medical care
+ Lost future wages and income
+ Emotional damages
+ Damages for family members for the loss of companionship
   caused by the accident
+ Punitive damages

We accept all of our auto accident cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that you will not owe us a fee unless we obtain compensation for you. If you have been injured in a car wreck, call us so that we can discuss your case. Our firm handles cases anywhere in the state of West Virginia. If you cannot come to our offices, we will come to you.
