“Being a part of a wrongful death case was difficult, but the experience with... Mani, Ellis and Layne made a profound difference. After the initial consultation, I was confident that I had made the right choice in selecting Mani, Ellis and Layne to represent my family. Jonathan Mani demonstrated an exceptional understanding of the law and gave clear explanations throughout the entire process. I was in contact with Kim Good on multiple occasions and she was always kind, knowledgeable and patient. The compassion, understanding and professionalism of everyone at Mani, Ellis and Layne made a traumatic time much more bearable. Everyone worked diligently on our behalf and obtained a fair and just outcome. We are grateful for their dedication and support guiding us through this painful process. We highly recommend Mani, Ellis and Layne to anyone in need of an attorney."read more

Everyone I dealt with from this firm were very sincere. From day one, I was... educated on every process and how it would work.Everyone I dealt with worked diligently to resolve my situation. Even with my consistent calls over the months, I was never made to feel I was an inconvenience.I initially dealt with Damon, who took the time to make sure I understood the answers to the questions he answered for me. He continued to follow up with me, even after my case had been passed to Jon (who was also working on my case as the lead Attorney), these guys have turned into acquaintances over the months, more than just an attorney on the job. They also have helped me after case resolution with contacts for professionals money managers, to ensure I had the tools required to make smart financial choices and protect me by making my money work for me and last.My paralegal Kim is such a sweetheart, and always took time to make my call a priority, and help me with everything I need. She even made reservations and appointment for me throughout the process to make sure I was on time. Funny story, Jon and I arrived early for an appointment because Kim was so smart and knew we always run behind, and ensured we were on time, by setting the appointment time, half hour after the time she advised us, (we arrived 12 mins after she told us.)If you need legal representation for a personal injury or medical malpractice situation, these guys will get you the results that you deserve. They go to work for you, and they aren't scared to roll up there sleeves and dig into the paperwork to get the facts, and they even put the boxing gloves on when they need to fight to defend you.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:
- 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.
