Free and Confidential Case Reviews to Ease Financial Burdens

When you come to the bros, your case review is free of charge and totally confidential. You can get the answers you’re looking for without worrying about another bill. We’ll let you know if you have a legal claim and what steps to take next.

You Only Pay Us If Our Lawyers Can Win Your Case

Our Attorneys Can Travel to Meet with You If You’re Badly Hurt or Still Recovering

If you’ve been seriously hurt in an accident, you may not be able to travel. You could be healing in the hospital, or you may be at home or at a relative’s home trying to recover. Rather than coming to see the bros, the bros can come to you.

Skinner Accident & Injury Lawyers has a law office in Charles Town, a law office in Martinsburg, and a law office in Winchester, VA. We can arrange to visit you wherever you are. This will help you receive detailed legal information so you can decide how to proceed with your claim.

We’ve Been a Part of West Virginia’s Community Since 1969

The Skinner name has been part of West Virginia since 1969. John C. Skinner, Jr. was a partner at a law firm until he retired. His sons, Stephen Skinner and Andrew Skinner, took over the firm in 2007 and continue the legacy of excellence.

The bros want to continue helping others and making a difference for the underdog here in the Mountain State.

What Kinds of Cases Does Skinner Accident & Injury Lawyers Handle?

Skinner Accident & Injury Lawyers handles all kinds of injury and fatal accident claims. Our team can also handle bad-faith claims against insurance companies, holding insurers accountable when they cause financial losses for policyholders.

Motor Vehicle Wreck Lawsuits

If you or a loved one is involved in any kind of auto collision in the Charles Town area, the bros can help you seek compensation. We’re ready to fight for you, whether you were in a crash on U.S. Route 340 or in a multi-car pileup out on Interstate 81.

  • Car Accidents: A serious car wreck can cause catastrophic injuries that take months of recovery. We can help hold negligent motorists liable for causing harm.
  • DUI Accidents: Drunk and intoxicated drivers need to be held responsible for their recklessness. We can seek damages after a DUI wreck.
  • 18-Wheeler Accidents: Tractor-trailer crashes can span multiple lanes and cause severe injuries. Our law firm has the resources to take on negligent truckers and trucking companies.
  • Motorcycle Accidents: There’s a major bias against motorcyclists who’ve been in accidents. The bros can cut through assumptions about risks and safety and focus on the facts of the collisions.
  • Bus Accidents: Whether it’s a local bus or a coach heading into another town, our attorneys can hold bus drivers or their employers liable for causing accidents.

Other Personal Injury Claims

In addition to motor vehicle wrecks, the bros can handle all kinds of personal injury lawsuits. People in Charles Town know they can trust our law firm because we put their needs first.

  • Bicycle Accidents: A major bike accident can cause compound fractures and head trauma. Our attorneys can make sure negligent parties are held accountable when you’re seriously hurt.
  • Pedestrian Accidents: Pedestrians are completely vulnerable. When drivers are distracted or reckless, our team can ensure that injured pedestrians are properly compensated.
  • Dog Bites and Animal Attacks: Pet owners are responsible for keeping their dogs on leashes and protecting others who are near their animals. Our lawyers can hold these pet owners accountable for harm.
  • Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents: Business owners and property owners need to keep their premises safe for customers and visitors. When wet floors, broken stairs, lax security, and bad lighting lead to injuries, the bros are here to help.
  • Work Accidents and On-the-Job Injuries: Most people think workers’ comp is the only way to get some financial recovery after a workplace accident. Our law firm can help injured workers seek additional compensation through a third-party claim.

Product Liability

As consumers, we expect whatever we buy to be properly tested for quality and safety. Unfortunately, not all products on the market are safe.

Vehicles may be poorly designed and their safety systems flawed. Tires could wear quickly, leading to hazards. Electronics might be prone to battery fires or electrical mishaps. Even toys may not be age-appropriate and pose choking hazards to young children.

When any kind of consumer good causes harm, the bros can help file product liability lawsuits. We’re ready to take on automakers, electronics companies, and other powerful interests when they cut corners and put profits over your safety.

Wrongful Death

If you’ve lost a family member in an accident, you have our deepest condolences. When these kinds of tragedies are caused by reckless actions or negligence, the pain is only compounded. Whenever you’re ready to share what happened, the team at Skinner Accident & Injury Lawyers can help you file a wrongful death lawsuit.

We know that there’s no amount of money that can ever bring back your loved one. However, damages in fatal accident cases can at least cover funeral expenses, the loss of your loved one’s income, and the pain of losing your loved one’s companionship.

Bad Faith Insurance

We’ve talked to many people here in Charles Town who’ve suffered financial losses due to unfair insurance practices. Legitimate claims may be denied or delayed, causing stress and financial strain.

Don’t feel intimidated by insurance companies that are pushing you around. The bros can help you hold insurers accountable, seeking damages and the benefits you’ve been denied. We’re more than ready to help West Virginians with bad faith insurance claims.

Why It’s Best to Speak with Our Attorneys as Soon as Possible

You have a limited amount of time to take legal action. For most personal injury and wrongful death cases, you have just two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. Once the two-year statute of limitations has expired, you will no longer be able to seek legal action.

There are some exceptions to that two-year deadline. If a government entity is involved in the accident, for example, you could have far less time to take action. It’s best to seek help from our Charles Town law firm as soon as possible. This will allow our attorneys to determine if you have a case and start securing evidence.

Memories fade, video footage gets erased, physical evidence degrades, and time moves faster than you realize. The bros at Skinner Accident & Injury Lawyers will act quickly to help secure maximum compensation.
