Practice Areas

At Preston & Salango, we are dedicated to achieving just results for injured and disabled individuals. When you have an accident, we understand the pain it causes not only the injured person, but also to their family. Our personal injury team can help you through the most difficult and complex situations with compassion and expertise to help recover maximum compensation. Our practice includes the following areas of strategic representation:

Automobile and Trucking Accidents

In our practice, we have seen many devastating car wrecks and truck accidents occur on the winding roads of southern West Virginia. These may be due to negligence or recklessness on the part of a driver, hazardous or unsafe road conditions, a mechanical failure, or other cause. Often, these crashes result in terrible injuries to the victims and damages to the vehicles. Whatever the situation, there are many complexities to consider from a legal standpoint.

Workplace Injury

Serious workplace injuries and accidents occur on a regular basis in West Virginia, especially in hazardous occupations such as mining, timbering, and trucking. If you've been injured at work due to a cave in, wall collapse, rollover, truck accident or other incident, you undoubtedly have pressing needs and concerns. For example, most people are unaware that they may be entitled to compensation above and beyond Worker's Compensation. Our attorneys fight to help protect you and your family from further damage and recover your rightful compensation.

Catastrophic Injury

Victims of catastrophic circumstances, such as amputations, traumatic brain injury, or paralysis, normally face severe financial difficulties. In most instances, the compensation you can seek when your injury is caused by negligent or purposeful actions include current and future medical expenses, care expenses, current and future lost income, pain and suffering, and the loss of enjoyment of life. We have developed a reputation in the southern West Virginia area for delving into these cases and obtaining the just awards for the victims of catastrophic injury.

Wrongful Death

Our attorneys and staff provide compassionate, effective representation for the surviving family members of a wrongful death victim. Whether the cause of death is car accidents, truck accidents, mining or timbering accidents, other workplace accidents, defective products, medical malpractice, we handle all of your needs from pursuing liability to assisting with appointing an estate administrator. We follow all legal avenues to help survivors receive compensation for financial losses and dependence as well as their grief.

Wrongful Discharge or Employment Discrimination

Employees are routinely fired or treated unfairly for reporting safety problems, filing workers’ compensation claims, or simply because of their gender, race, or religious preferences. In addition, workplace harassment is one of the most stressful situations a man or woman can go through, causing extreme emotional and psychological stressors for the victim and his or her family. When these situations arise, our lawyers will take on the employer and obtain the compensation the employee deserves.

Medical and Nursing Home Malpractice

If you or your loved one has been harmed or mistreated by a doctor, nurse, hospital, clinic or related healthcare provider, we can help. Our medical staff’s knowledge of medical issues will benefit your case, including the procedures, supervision, tests, and documentation that should have taken place. The firm’s medical malpractice team has successfully handled significant medical malpractice claims, such as failure or delay of diagnosis, surgical errors, mistreatment of a disease or condition, prescription mistakes, as well as privacy issues and patient consent related to medical treatment.
