Personal Injury FAQ

What Types of Damages Are Available to Victims of Nursing Home Abuse or Negligence?
West Virginia law allows you to pursue money for economic and non-economic damages related to abuse or neglect.

Economic damages represent the financial losses you’re loved one suffered due to their injuries, such as:
- Medical care (past and future)
- Physical therapy
- Rehabilitation
- Reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
- And more
Non-economic damages are personal in nature; they include:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Reduced quality of life
- Scarring or disfigurement
- Loss of companionship
An experienced nursing home abuse attorney in West Virginia can help you understand what damages you may be entitled to.
How Long Do I Have To File a Personal Injury Claim in West Virginia?

West Virginia’s statute of limitations limits the amount of time you have to file a nursing home abuse lawsuit. Your loved one will generally have two years from the date of their injury to initiate a claim. In a wrongful death case, the timeline starts on the date the victim died.

There are exceptions to the general statute of limitations. However, if you miss the deadline, you will be barred from recovering compensation in court. Seek legal counsel to ensure you comply with any and all deadlines in your case.
How Much Is My Nursing Home Abuse or Injury Case Worth?
The value of your loved one’s case will depend on various factors. Generally, the more severe their injuries, the more money they will obtain for their claim.

The following factors will influence the case value:
- The severity of your loved one’s injuries
- The extent of their medical expenses
- The pain and suffering they’ve experienced
- Available insurance coverages
- The strength of your evidence
The best way to determine how much money you can receive is to consult an experienced legal advocate at Mani Ellis & Layne Accident & Injury Lawyers.
