Question 1

What does a personal injury lawyer do?

Accepted Answer

A personal injury lawyer represents people injured by someone else's negligence. Rusty Webb investigates your accident, gathers evidence, negotiates with insurance companies, builds a case for maximum compensation, and takes your case to trial if necessary — so you can focus on recovering.

Question 2

How much does it cost to hire Rusty Webb?

Accepted Answer

Nothing up front. Webb Law Centre works on a contingency fee basis — you pay no fees unless and until we win your case and you receive money in a settlement or judgment. Your initial consultation is also completely free.

Question 3

What types of cases does Webb Law Centre handle?

Accepted Answer

We handle personal injury cases including auto, truck, and motorcycle accidents, slip and fall, wrongful death, nursing home abuse, and mining/industrial accidents, as well as product liability and national mass tort cases like kratom, hair relaxers, NEC baby formula, Roundup, AFFF/PFAS, asbestos, and Ozempic. We do not handle medical malpractice cases.

Question 4

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in West Virginia?

Accepted Answer

In West Virginia, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the injury. Because deadlines can vary and missing them can bar your claim entirely, it's best to contact an attorney as soon as possible after an accident.

Question 5

How much is my personal injury case worth?

Accepted Answer

Every case is different. Compensation can include medical bills, lost wages, future medical care, pain and suffering, and loss of quality of life. Rusty Webb will evaluate the specifics of your situation during a free consultation and give you an honest assessment of what your case may be worth.

Question 6

What should I do immediately after an accident?

Accepted Answer

First, seek medical attention — your health is the priority. Then, if possible, gather evidence: take photos, get witness contact info, and file a police report. Do not speak to the other party's insurance company before talking to a lawyer. Contact Rusty Webb right away so he can protect your rights from the start.

Question 7

How long does a personal injury case take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the complexity. Some cases settle in a few months, while others — especially those that go to trial — can take a year or more. Rusty Webb moves every case as efficiently as possible while never rushing past a fair recovery. He'll keep you informed at every step.

Question 8

Will my case go to trial?

Accepted Answer

Most personal injury cases settle out of court, but Rusty Webb prepares every case as if it will go to trial. That thorough preparation often leads to better settlement offers — and if the insurance company won't be fair, he's ready to fight for you in front of a jury.

Question 9

Do you handle cases outside of Charleston?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While Webb Law Centre is based in Charleston, Rusty Webb represents clients across all of West Virginia and nationwide for product liability and mass tort cases. He also offers a mobile office and phone consultations for your convenience.
