Medical Malpractice in West Virginia

When a patient follows a doctor’s orders, or is under the care of a surgeon, mistakes can occur, and they come at a painful cost. Across the state of West Virginia, and in larger cities like Charleston and Huntington, many cases of medical malpractice occur as a result of improper diagnoses or medications, delayed treatment, surgical errors, or other types of negligence on the part of a healthcare provider.
