Questionable
cause of death? Agony can
stricken you over the death of your loved one. Worst,
you think it was through negligence. Many West Virginian
negligent deaths occur in the mining industry. When employers
neglect their duty to implement safety regulations and
your loved one is killed in a coal mining collapse or
accident, the employer is liable. In January 2006, the
Sago Mine Disaster trapped thirteen miners for nearly
two days. Only one miner survived.

The following section mentions some WV State laws that you
need to take in account for time and age limits.
- Like most other states, West Virginia's wrongful death
actions are governed by a Statute of Limitations. It is
imperative that your family act immediately! Family members
are generally allowed two years from the time of death
to file a claim. It is more difficult to file suit after
two years and statistics show that most of those cases
are dismissed.
- West Virginia state laws may require minors to have a
legal guardian, called a guardian ad litem, appointed to
look out for their interests in a wrongful death lawsuit.
You need our West Virginia Wrongful
Death Lawyers to handle
your case and advise you of the legal actions you should
take. Although no amount of money can compensate a family
for the loss of a loved one, West Virginia law recognizes
the loss to the family members and provides compensation
to protect the spouse, children and parents of the deceased.
Wrongful death is constituted by negligent or reckless
actions of another person. A person is considered negligent
if he or she had a duty to act carefully and failed to
do so. If you think this is the situation involved in your
case, Contact West
