Losing a loved one is always a difficult part of life. These losses can be even harder to accept when the death occurs as a result of someone else’s wrongdoing or negligence.
When this happens in West Virginia (WV), WV wrongful death liability laws provide for compensation from the party at fault to the affected family members. Although no amount of money can replace your loved one, a Morgantown, WV wrongful death attorney from the firm of Allan N. Karlin & Associates PLLC can help your family receive full compensation as part of a WV wrongful death settlement or award.
Employment discrimination can take many forms. When an employee in Morgantown, West Virginia (WV), surrounding areas, or any part of the state, is subjected to harassment or unfair treatment at work, it is appropriate to contact an employment discrimination attorney in northern WV.
An experienced attorney can help you identify the reason(s) for the unfair treatment or harassment and determine if it is related to discrimination on the basis of membership in a protected class—traits such as race, gender, disability, religion, or other personal characteristics that are protected under the law. Not all employment discrimination or harassment is illegal so it is important to determine the basis for the treatment by your employer.
When a person is injured or killed as a result of the carelessness of another, the law allows the victim, or the victim's family, to bring a claim seeking compensation for past and future medical bills, lost income, and other damages. In recognition of the trauma caused by these incidents, the law also allows compensation for the pain and anguish that accompany the injury or death. To recover the full benefits to which you are entitled under West Virginia (WV) law, it is wise to consult with WV wrongful death attorneys or serious injury lawyers.
