Premises Liability Attorney in Huntington, WV
Injured on Someone Else’s Property? We’ll Help You Take Action.
When property owners fail to maintain safe conditions, serious injuries can follow. At McClure & Goad, our experienced premises liability attorneys in West Virginia help victims pursue the compensation they’re owed after falls, unsafe conditions, or negligence in public or private spaces.
Unsafe Property Conditions Can Lead to Real Harm
Slips, trips, and other accidents may seem minor — until they cause broken bones, brain injuries, or long-term disability. Property owners have a legal obligation to fix hazards or warn you about them. If they don’t, and you’re hurt, you may have a valid claim under
West Virginia premises liability law.
Cases We Handle in Premises Liability
Slip and Fall Accidents
Common in stores, restaurants, and offices — often due to wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor lighting.
Unsafe Stairs and Railings
Falls from height or on faulty steps can cause major trauma.
Poor Lighting or Security
Negligent security in parking lots or apartment buildings can lead to assaults or injury.
Icy Walkways and Entryways
Businesses must manage ice and snow — especially in high-traffic areas.
Injuries on Rental or Commercial Property
From loose carpets to exposed wires, we help tenants and visitors who suffer harm.

Premises Liability FAQsAQs
Do I have a case if I slipped and fell in a store?
Yes — if the store failed to clean a spill, warn of danger, or repair hazards in a timely way, you may have a claim.
What if I was partially at fault?
West Virginia allows partial fault. Even if you were somewhat responsible, you may still recover damages.
What should I do after an injury on someone’s property?
Seek medical attention, document the hazard, take photos if possible, and contact a premises liability lawyer promptly.
How long do I have to file?
In most cases, two years from the date of injury — but sooner is always better.
Who pays the compensation — the property owner?
Usually, the property owner’s insurance policy pays for claims. The legal action is against the insurer, not necessarily the individual.
