No amount of money could ever replace my son, Ian, or take away the pain our... family has endured. However, I am incredibly grateful to this law firm for standing beside me and helping bring Ian’s lawsuit to a resolution.This was more than a legal case to me—it was my son’s life, his story and the future of the two children he left behind. The firm treated our family with compassion, patience and respect during one of the most painful and difficult chapters of our lives. They took the time to answer my questions, guide me through the process and fight for Ian and his children.Although settling the case does not bring closure to losing Ian, it does provide security for his children and a sense that his life mattered and his story was heard. I will always be thankful to everyone at the firm who helped carry this burden with me and worked so hard on behalf of our family. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs knowledgeable, dedicated and compassionate legal representation.read more

Manny Ellis & Layne is an outstanding firm. I faced significant injury as a... passenger last year, and the insurance pool was small. They had to negotiate with Medicaid, who can be difficult to deal with. The firm cut Medicaid’s lien by 63%, and even reduced their own cut to make sure I’m compensated for my trauma. Deserving of 5 stars, to say the least.read more

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:

- Emotional distress
- Reduced quality of life
- Scarring or disfigurement
- Loss of companionship
Search nursing home lawyers near me to begin the process of seeking full compensation. 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. Contact a nursing home injury attorney 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.
