West Virginia Lawyers

We all trust that our nurses, doctors, and other healthcare providers will provide us with the best care possible.  While most do, medical errors caused by the carelessness of healthcare providers is a shockingly common occurrence.  When a person is injured or killed due to such an error, they need the assistance of a West Virginia medical malpractice attorney. 

West Virginia medical malpractice cases are typically complex and can be very costly cases to pursue.  That’s because medical malpractice cases ordinarily require in-depth knowledge of medical procedures and standards.  Expert witnesses that are vital to a case can be extremely expensive.  You want a West Virginia attorney that has the knowledge to “talk the talk” with your expert.  You don’t want to pay an expert to educate your attorney.  A medical malpractice lawyer that navigates these complexities and keeps costs under control can mean all the difference in obtaining the justice and compensation you deserve. 

Profits over people.  Unfortunately, that seems to be the unwritten motto of many nursing home facilities across West Virginia.  When nursing home facilities put profits over people, injuries to residents can and do occur.  We’ve seen it time and time again and the results are often devastating.

The rules, regulations, and laws surrounding nursing home facilities in West Virginia can be complex.  Moreover, evidence can be hard to uncover due to the vulnerability of an injured loved one who has memory or other cognitive issues, cannot communicate well, or is incapacitated in some other manner.  That’s why when a loved one has been injured as a result of West Virginia nursing home abuse or neglect, you need an attorney who has the experience and compassion to obtain the justice your family deserves.  It’s more than just about obtaining compensation—it’s also about holding nursing home facilities, their owners, and their employees accountable for placing profits over people. 

We all know that dealing with an insurance company can be frustrating.  Regardless of whether it’s an automobile claim, life insurance claim, or property damage claim, trying to get an insurance company to pay on a claim is often a maddening process.  To make things worse, many insurance companies seek to pay less than what a claim is worth or worse yet, they seek to avoid paying valid claims altogether.

When that happens, having a skilled and experienced West Virginia insurance dispute lawyer on your side may be vital to getting your claim paid.  The best West Virginia insurance dispute lawyers, like those at GKT, will pursue what is called a “bad faith” claim against the insurance company.  In a West Virginia bad faith insurance lawsuit, the insured seeks additional compensation to punish an insurance company for its wrongful actions.  Whether a person has a bad faith insurance claim is not an easy question to answer and another reason why it’s so important to contact a knowledgeable insurance dispute attorney as soon as possible.  The West Virginia lawyers at GKT can help.
