At Katz, Kantor, Stonestreet & Buckner, the goal of our West Virginia personal injury lawyers is to help you move forward from a life-changing motorcycle accident.

In personal injury cases, the burden of proof is on the injured. That means the skill and experience of your attorney matters. Our firm takes a range of elements into account to craft a strong case aimed at putting our client’s needs first. We don’t just seek to cover your medical expenses, pain and suffering, or lost wages—we strive to hold any responsible parties fully accountable for their actions.
According to the West Virginia DMV, all West Virginia motorcyclists are required to wear a DOT certified helmet. In order for a helmet to be DOT certified is must meet the requirements set forth by the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 218 (FMVSS 218).
Failure to observe the West Virginia helmet law may result in traffic citations, fines, or even suspension of the motorcyclist’s license. It’s important to observe all laws while riding your motorcycle, particularly when it comes to protecting your rights. Failure to wear your helmet could lead to the party responsible for your accident blaming your injuries on your failure to wear a helmet, rather than their own negligence. Don’t risk it! Always wear your helmet.
