Legal Help After a Personal Injury

If you have been injured because someone else was careless or negligent, you have a legal right to be compensated for the damages you have suffered.

I am J. Burton Hunter, III, a personal injury attorney with more than 30 years of experience representing injury victims in Buckhannon, West Virginia, and the surrounding area. I understand the trauma people go through after suffering a serious injury. I'm here to help you obtain the full amount of financial compensation you deserve.

I represent clients in a wide range of personal injury claims, including those involving:

  • Car accidents: Was the other driver drunk? Was the accident caused by a defective auto part? Did you get hit in a crosswalk? Injury cases from all types of vehicle accidents should be reviewed by a competent lawyer.
  • Truck and motorcycle accidents: When large trucks or motorcycles are in accidents, the injuries can be extremely severe. I know how to address the specific legal challenges posed by truck crashes and motorcycle wrecks.
  • ATV and other vehicle accidents: If you were injured in an ATV accident, an SUV rollover or any other type of vehicle, you can rely on our decades of experience to help you recover just compensation for damages.
  • Neck and back injuries: from whiplash to herniated discs to spinal cord injuries
  • Industrial accidents: In some cases you can take legal action against your employer for negligence.
  • Oil and gas explosions: If you work in the gas or oil business and sustained a serious injury, it is important to have your case evaluated by an experienced attorney.
  • Mine site accidents: I represented the family of one of the Sego mine victims among other mining accident cases.

In West Virginia, who caused the injury matters. If the other person was more than 50 percent at fault, you will recover full compensation for damages. If your fault was 49 percent, you'll get less.

You Can Afford an Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer

I work on a contingency basis for personal injury and wrongful death cases. That means you do not pay anything out of pocket. My fee comes as a percentage of the amount of money I can obtain for you. If I don't win compensation in your case, you owe me nothing.
