If you’ve been wrongfully injured due to a medical professionals’ negligence, you don’t need to face the aftermath alone. It is unfair for you to bear the expenses and endure the pain of recovery when the incident wasn’t your fault to begin with, irrespective of whether you received care at Ruby Memorial Hospital, Mon Health, or another West Virginia Medical provider in Morgantown.
That’s why you need an expert Morgantown medical malpractice lawyer at Goddard Law on your side to fight and recover damages on your or your loved one’s behalf. We can’t change the past to prevent the malpractice from happening, but we will do everything we can to make sure it doesn’t financially damage your future.
In a Morgantown medical malpractice case, you may be entitled to compensation for resulting damages which commonly include:
- Wrongful death
- Physical pain
- Emotional/mental distress and suffering
- Cost of current and future medical treatment
- Lost income/wages from time taken off work to obtain treatment
- Ongoing medical care, including physical rehabilitation therapy
- Loss of enjoyment or decreased quality of life
These are all things you deserve to be compensated for. Many of them are expenses that you’re likely incurring already. You should not bear the burden of paying for them out of your own pocket when your injury was someone else’s fault!
Morgantown Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect Lawyer
As America’s elderly population increases and more are placed in the care of nursing homes, the possibility of abuse occurring rises.

West Virginia University Hospital is the largest and most successful medical institution in the state of West Virginia. Unfortunately, that does not mean that the care that is delivered is always delivered at a high level. I have handled multiple wrongful death cases stemming from care provided to babies and children at WVUH. These cases are extremely challenging and very expensive to pursue. The insurance carriers for the doctors and hospitals are always willing to spend a lot of money on teams of lawyers and high-dollar experts. To combat that, I too find the very best experts from the top hospitals across the country. Goddard Law routinely retains experts from multiple fields to handle every possible angle. And I personally do the hard work of digging through thousands of pages of medical records, get up to speed on the nuances of the medical conditions and treatments, and I make sure my experts educate me so I can discover the truth and expose the baseless excuses. Medical malpractice cases are difficult, and there are many procedural hurdles to bringing these cases to trial. Fortunately, at Goddard Law, medical malpractice is THE focus, and Goddard Law’s clients have obtained the very best results.
