Serving Charleston and all of southern West Virginia

Even the best trained medical professionals make mistakes, often with tragic consequences. If you or a loved one has suffered due to a medical error, you may have a medical malpractice case. DiTrapano, Barrett & DiPiero, PLLC can help.

Advocating for patients like you

Proving negligence in a medical malpractice case is not always easy. Even when the health care provider is clearly to blame, insurance companies often do their best to avoid compensating victims. Attaining a positive outcome for your case requires an attorney who possesses extensive knowledge and experience in medical malpractice law.

At DiTrapano, Barrett & DiPiero, PLLC, we have nearly 160 years combined experience in medical malpractice cases, such as the following:

  • Defective medical devices
  • Wrongful death
  • Failure to properly treat illness
  • Failure to promptly treat complications following surgery

Medical malpractice in West Virginia

Medical malpractice is a complex area of law. In West Virginia, medical malpractice cases must be filed within two years of the date the injury occurred or should have been detected under a reasonable standard of care. For cases involving children, West Virginia law allows minors to file suit up to two years from the date of the injury or until age 12, whichever period is longer.

Since health care providers are typically well-financed, medical malpractice cases can drag on for several years. At DiTrapano, Barrett & DiPiero, PLLC, we work hard to resolve cases favorably for our client as efficiently as possible, but we do not back down from a fight. Our goal is to attain the best possible outcome for each and every client. In fact, we work on a contingency fee basis, so we are not paid unless you are.
