After a crash, knowing what steps to take can be overwhelming. This page breaks down how car accident claims generally work under West Virginia law—from proving fault to dealing with insurance and recovering compensation for your injuries.
As the state capital, Charleston sees heavy daily traffic—especially on I-64 and US-119. Rear-end crashes and left-turn accidents are common, especially near the Kanawha Mall and Corridor G. These urban patterns often lead to complex liability disputes.
With a large student population and hilly terrain, Morgantown has unique challenges. Accidents often happen on Beechurst Avenue or Patteson Drive, where speeding and distracted driving are regular issues.
Huntington’s proximity to the Ohio border means high commuter traffic on I-64 and Route 60. T-bone crashes and night-time wrecks are frequent, particularly in wet or icy conditions near downtown.
Many accidents here involve rural highway routes, especially WV-68 and WV-95. These roads lack lighting and have sharp curves, contributing to rollover and single-vehicle crashes.
With narrow bridges and a mix of local and out-of-state drivers, Wheeling sees frequent sideswipe and merging collisions. High-crash zones include the Fort Henry Bridge and I-70 near Exit 1A.
No matter where your crash happened—Charleston, Morgantown, Huntington, or somewhere in between—West Virginia drivers deserve clear answers after an accident. This site exists to help you understand your rights, your options, and how to take action.
If you’ve been injured in a wreck, don’t wait for the insurance company to call the shots. The sooner you know where you stand legally, the better.
