West Virginia Accident Lawyers Powerful Representation. Personal Care.

Part of what we love about Charleston, West Virginia, is the sense of community. While a city, Charleston still has the feel of a small town. People are friendly. We look out for each other.

That’s why the attorneys at Mani, Ellis & Layne PLLC do what we do. We take cases of critical injury or wrongful death due to the negligence of someone else personally because our legal team genuinely cares about the people we represent.

When we take a case to trial, we aggressively and professionally pursue fair compensation for our clients – as we would for our own loved ones. We have the experience to know how far large corporations, insurance companies, and even our own government will go in order to protect their own financial interests at your expense, and we refuse to let that happen to our clients.

You could place your trust in a huge law firm where your attorney might not remember your name, but our legal team doesn’t believe in impersonal client relations. We’re a small enough law firm to give your case the personal attention it needs.

Mani, Ellis & Layne handles a variety of cases for our critically injured clients. Our areas of practice include:

• Personal Injury – Accidents happen every day, but if you’ve received a critical injury due to the carelessness of someone else, medical bills and lost wages can be just as debilitating as the physical injury itself. Don’t battle insurance companies on your own. We have a proven record of recovering compensation for cases involving automobile, truck and tractor trailer, motorcycle, and boat accidents that resulted in critical injury or wrongful death.

• Nursing Home Abuse – When we place our loved ones in a medical care facility, we have the expectation that caregivers will give them the attention they need; however, between 1999 and 2001, more than 30% of nursing homes and rehabilitation centers were cited for abuse violations that had the potential to bring harm to patients. While accepting payment for a service, an increasing number of nursing homes are negligent in caring for patients. We find this unacceptable, and our knowledgeable legal team has the experience necessary for litigating these cases and getting results for our clients.

• Insurance Bad Faith – People pay thousands of dollars in insurance premiums in order to be prepared for a catastrophe, thinking that their insurance provides security if a tragedy occurs. Unfortunately, insurance claims are not always accepted. After the destruction from Hurricane Katrina, 600 insurance policy holders who were refused claims were awarded $80 million in a lawsuit. Don’t accept an unfair insurance settlement just because it is offered. Instead, contact Mani, Ellis & Layne. Our attorneys aren’t afraid of large corporations who protect their own interest. We will protect your interests in a court of law.

• Social Security – As taxpayers, we are led to believe that if we are ever disabled or if we lose a loved one that we are entitled to government benefits, including Social Security. In reality, the Social Security Administration denied 3 out of 5 first time claims in 2006. Don’t attempt to wade through the paperwork and regulations yourself. Let the lawyers at Mani, Ellis & Layne help you receive the benefits that you deserve.

• Workplace Injuries – The critical injuries, lost wages, and medical bills that can accrue from a serious workplace or industrial injury can turn a person’s world upside down. Employers are required by law to maintain safe working conditions. If you or someone you love sustained critical injuries or disabilities due to carelessness on the part of an employer, you shouldn’t just depend on Workman’s Compensation benefits to cover all of your expenses. We can help you recover the damages you need in order to maintain your quality of life, even after a serious workplace accident.

Don’t Suffer Due to the Carelessness of Someone Else. Hold Negligent Parties and Companies Responsible.

The attorneys at Mani, Ellis & Layne refuse to allow their clients to be taken advantage of by wealthy corporations, insurance companies, or negligent parties. Given our experience and our savvy in the courtroom, the idea that anyone should pay for someone else’s negligence is unthinkable. Don’t struggle with all of the paperwork, bills, and legalese on your own.

Social Security Disability

If you or someone you know is considering Social Security Disability, the best course of action is to seek specialized legal representation to either guide you through the initial process or assist you with you appeal for benefits.

At Mani, Ellis & Layne, we are not only qualified at navigating the often-confusing and frustrating process of Social Security Disability, but we are also dedicated to offering you the attention and explanations related to your case that you deserve. Call us toll-free at 1-888-720-1001.

On-The-Job Injuries

If you have been injured on the job in West Virginia, you should know that you have another option besides simple workers’ compensation. If your work injury was due to negligence on your employer’s part – if they were aware of the unsafe condition but did nothing to amend the problem – you might have a deliberate intent, or Mandolidis case and you might deserve additional compensation for your work accident. Call us toll-free at 1-888-720-1001 for a free and confidential consultation. Don’t let a deliberate intent workplace injury go unreported.
