In everyday conversation, the term “personal injury” refers to physical harm you’ve suffered. In law, the meaning goes a little bit deeper.

At Richardson, Richardson & Campbell Lawyers, we have both the experience and tenacity to fight for the outcome your injuries call for. Additionally, we have been handling personal injury cases in the greater Parkersburg area for decades, which means we are extremely familiar with the local judges, courts, and insurance companies that may be involved in your case. Let us put that knowledge to good use so you can spend less time worrying about the legalities and more time focusing on what matters.
YOU FOCUS ON HEALING
The following is by no means a comprehensive list of personal injuries you could claim. Rather, this list highlights some of the most common injury cases we see in our practice. Even if your exact scenario isn’t listed, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.
When you think of a workplace injury, your mind probably jumps straight to faulty machinery, falling objects, slip and falls, or generally unsafe working conditions. However, occupational diseases and repetitive stress injuries can also lead to valid workers’ compensation claims. In other words, if a repetitive motion causes you to develop a harmful condition, or if continual exposure to certain chemicals causes you to develop an illness or disease, you may be able to collect payment.
In West Virginia, filing a workers’ comp claim is a little different than filing any other type of personal injury claim. To ensure all your bases are covered, it’s best to discuss your case with a seasoned lawyer — even if you’ve already filed a workers’ comp claim that’s been denied, we invite you to call us today. We may be able to give you another chance to obtain compensation.
We at Richardson, Richardson, & Campbell sincerely hope you don’t need our services on a personal injury case. However, if you or a loved one has been hurt in an accident caused by someone else, we are here to help. More than that, we will treat you with the utmost respect and devotion through to the end of your case.
