Practice Areas and Legal Definitions
Auto Accidents:
Vehicular accidents injure tens of thousands of people every year across the country. This is especially true in West Virginia, where the weather and geography combine to create extremely dangerous driving conditions for much of the year. Attorney William T. Fahey has years of experience and a successful track record representing clients who have suffered significant injuries in automobile accidents. He works closely with doctors and other health care providers to discuss the short- and long-term medical consequences of an injury and possesses a detailed understanding of West Virginia's automobile insurance and liability laws.
Pedestrian Accidents:
With the increasing numbers of cars on the road, the number of injured pedestrians has soared. Pedestrians are extremely vulnerable to negligent and reckless drivers, and when a collision does occur, their injuries are much more serious and debilitating. Attorney Fahey has handled a significant number of these cases, establishing a solid track record of recovery for damages, as well as pain and suffering.
Slip and Falls/Premises Liability:
If you are a guest or, as the law would state, an "invitee" on someone else's property, the owner of that property has a duty to maintain a safe place for those who may reasonably be foreseen to be present on that property, whether it's a residential property or a place of business. There exist duties on the part of the property owners to maintain the property responsibly and avoid the existence of hazardous conditions.
Dangerous or defective conditions may be large or small, temporary or permanent. Temporary conditions such as water on the floor of a grocery store, or snow and ice on the stairs of a restaurant need to be investigated quickly. If you are injured as a result of an unsafe condition on someone else's property, you will need the legal counsel of an experienced personal injury attorney with a successful track record, such as Attorney William Fahey. Please contact his office today.
Construction/On-the-Job Accidents:
Construction labor makes up one of the three most dangerous occupations in the United States today; each year producing thousands of debilitating injuries and wrongful deaths. Factors that contribute to construction accidents include workers lifting loads with worn and weathered cables, working on elevated platforms without fall protection or wearing defective safety harnesses and lanyards, and/or working in trenches with improper benching and using outdated tools and equipment. Farming and manufacturing accidents, as well as the oil and gas industry accidents, can also cause serious injury and toxic exposure.
