Medical Malpractice Attorney in Huntington, WV
Holding Healthcare Providers Accountable Across West Virginia
When you seek medical care, you trust professionals to help — not harm — you. But when doctors, hospitals, or other providers fail to meet the standard of care, the consequences can be devastating. At McClure & Goad, we help injured patients and their families pursue justice through medical malpractice claims.
When Medical Mistakes Lead to Lasting Harm
Medical malpractice occurs when a provider’s negligence causes injury or death. These cases are complex and highly technical — often involving aggressive legal defense teams and strict procedural rules. Our West Virginia malpractice attorneys know how to investigate these claims, work with expert witnesses, and pursue accountability in even the most challenging situations.
Types of Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle

Failure to identify a serious condition can lead to missed treatment windows and worsened outcomes.
Surgical Errors
Wrong-site operations, retained instruments, or other surgical mistakes can cause lasting complications.
