West Virginia Accident Lawyer Harry Waddell

A car accident can be a nightmare! One moment you are driving happily down I-81 in West Virginia, perhaps looking forward to an evening with your family, or a visit with friends, and the next moment... everything has changed.
If you have been injured in a car accident, you need help. Maybe you were hurt in a truck accident? Perhaps someone you love has been hurt or even killed in an accident. You need help. And if you live in or near Martinsburg, in Berkeley, Jefferson, or Morgan County, or anywhere else in the Eastern Panhandle, help is close by. Wouldn't you like an experienced, trustworthy personal injury attorney on your side?
You've just found him! Harry Waddell, the accident lawyer and personal injury attorney has a proven record of success. With 12 years of defense work under the belt, he knows the tricks that the other side could use against his clients. Harry Waddell will personally help you get the compensation you deserve.
Harry will also represent you if you live in other parts of West Virginia, including Potomac Highlands (Grant, Hampshire and Hardy Counties), or in Western Maryland (Washington County and Hagerstown).
What if you've been hurt, but it wasn't in an accident? Harry Waddell can help you here as well, for example if you have suffered an injury because your doctor made a mistake. You or someone you love may have been a victim of medical malpractice. Or perhaps you're dealing with the emotional pain from having been laid off or treated badly at work.
Whether it was discrimination, wrongful termination, or harassment, Harry Waddell has many years of experience with helping his clients win in employment-related cases. In fact, he represented, together with 4 other attorneys, 11,000 former employees of a telemarketing firm in a wage class action suit and won a $15,000,000 (15 million dollars!) settlement. Harry has worked on the state and federal levels, and he can help you too.
And that's reassuring to know. You may well be traumatized and worried about what will happen. You may wonder what to do. You want information you can trust. And Harry Waddell understands that and has just what you need: He has personally written three special reports that will give you a head start by answering many of your questions:

Harry Waddell, the lawyer you can trust. The lawyer who will personally go to bat for you. You can reach him at 304-263-4988. Since time is usually tight, and delay can mean losing your chance at winning your case, it's important to call soon.
Why the hurry? As you'll find out in Harry Waddell's reports, evidence must be preserved to maximize your chance at success.
But you may be worried about getting lost in a huge impersonal legal maze and be but a tiny number for the law office. Not with Harry Waddell. When you call Harry, you will not be passed off to a legal assistant or a paralegal. Harry will personally listen to you, explain what he can do for you, and handle your case.
And Harry Waddell is not far away in the anonymous big city either. His office is conveniently located right here in Martinsburg, WV 25401, at 300 West Martin Street. You can reach him at 304-263-4988.
