The Difference May Be the Lawyer You Choose

Charleston, West Virginia and Truck and Car Accident Lawyers

Many car and truck accidents don’t happen by “accident.” They are caused by deliberate or negligent actions such as speeding, unsafe lane changes, violating traffic laws, or drunk driving. In other words, they are preventable events that are caused by someone else and are the fault of another party.

If you or a loved one is injured in a truck or car accident that was caused by another party, the lawyers at DiTrapano, Barrett & DiPiero, PLLC will work hard for you to obtain compensation for damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

In the case of truck accidents, the key to a successful recovery often involves proving violations of federal truck safety regulations, such as improper truck or tire maintenance, hiring unsafe drivers, or driving too long without taking a rest break.

Our injury lawyers have successfully handled cases involving:

• Auto accidents
• Semi truck and commercial vehicle wrecks
• Train accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
• Passenger injuries
• Injuries caused by defective auto parts, such as tire defects, seat belt failure, and unsafe vehicles
• Injuries caused by defective highway designs or lack of maintenance, such as missing guard rails

To protect your rights to compensation, you should contact an experienced truck or car accident lawyer as soon as possible. Any attempt you make to negotiate your injury claim yourself could end up costing you money. It’s important to understand that insurance company adjusters are trained negotiators who are only interested in settling your case for as little money as possible.

For more than forty years, the truck and car accident lawyers at DiTrapano, Barrett & DiPiero, PLLC have helped car and truck accident victims in West Virginia receive maximum compensation for their injuries. We will aggressively investigate and research your accident to determine who is liable for your injuries.

Our track record speaks for itself. Our truck and car injury lawyers have obtained some of the largest jury awards and settlements in West Virginia.

We handle all car and truck accident cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that you don’t have to pay us anything up front for our legal services. If we are successful, our fee will be a percentage of the jury award or settlement we obtain for you. If we are not successful in obtaining compensation for you, you will owe us nothing.
