Colombo & Stuhr recently completed a 12 week video series titled "Legally Speaking" that was televised on WDTV. The series was aimed to help consumers make informed decisions regarding a variety of  legal issues.

Each week we focused on a different topic aimed to help inform the viewing public. We started off by discussing how our law firm handles cases and explained how to make informed decisions that will be financially sound . 

In week 2, the topic was "Who do you call first after an accident?" providing valuable information regarding the appropriate steps to take after a car, truck or motorcycle accident.

Week 3 covered "How cases get resolved." The discussion centered around the difference between settlements and cases that go to trial.

Next we discussed "Insurance coverage." Types of coverages, limits of liability, state minimum coverage, the uninsured and the underinsured were covered.

In week 5 we introduced our exclusive "eCase Status" system that allows us to provide near real time updates to our clients' cases 24/7 via our website.

Our website was the week 6 topic, which currently features answers to Frequently Asked Questions and other useful information that can be accessed anytime for free.

The next topic was "Medical payments coverage" on your automobile insurance policy and how it can help when you are involved in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident.

Motorcycle accidents led the discussion in week 8. We talked about how motorcycle accidents can be among the worst accidents, especially when the accident involves a car or truck.

Have you ever thought to yourself "Do I need a lawyer?" We discussed how a qualified and trusted attorney will handle your case and can help you get through your situation in the best possible way.

Week 10 we covered health insurance and medical expenses after an accident. Who pays the bills before your case is resolved?

One of the questions we get asked most often is "How much is my case worth?". We cover this topic in order for you to make a better informed decision regarding your situation. 

In the final episode, the advice given was "Hire an experienced lawyer that is looking out for your interests"

Thanks for watching!

The law firm of Colombo & Stuhr continues its community involvement by being a proud sponsor of the St. Jude Dream Home being built in Monongalia County.  Colombo & Stuhr is the law firm that individuals and families turn to when they are involved in an automobile accident, trucking accident or motorcycle accident.  However, Colombo & Stuhr is more than just a personal injury law firm serving Harrison County, Randolph County, Upshur County, Monongalia County, Marion County, Taylor County, and Lewis County.  The law firm is dedicated to improving the lives of their clients and at the same time dedicated to helping the community as a whole.  That is exactly why we are part of the St. Jude Dream Home. 

In economic times where people in our community are hurting the St. Jude Dream Home gives a lucky family the opportunity to win a $300,000 home.  There is nothing more satisfying than helping a family who is experiencing difficult times because of lost wages, medical bills or other financial difficulties.  This is who we are and this is what we do. 

More and more we are seeing insurance companies making low ball settlement offers to people injured by motorcycle accidents, automobile accidents, and trucking accidents.  The insurance companies are counting on injured victims to take the low ball settlement offer because they are desperate for cash.  Unfortunately, this settlement strategy has worked very well for the insurance companies when dealing with an injured person who is not represented by a lawyer.

The attorneys at Colombo & Stuhr represent children and adults in Morgantown, Clarksburg, Bridgeport, Fairmont, Elkins, Buckhannon, Weston, and throughout North Central West Virginia who have been injured in car wrecks, motorcycle accidents, and trucking accidents.  We know how to handle aggressive insurance adjusters and the insurance company attorneys.  Clients know that when they hire our law firm that they are hiring a law firm that is ready, willing and able to try the most complex case.

For example, Dino Colombo recently tried a case for a client where State Farm had offered only $10,000 to settle a rear end collision type of accident.  The client had a permanent neck injury and $10,000 would just barely cover the medical expenses.  The case went to trial and a Monongalia County jury returned a verdict of over $400,000 for this client.

There is no way any attorney can guarantee a result for our client.  Also, simply because there was a significant verdict for this particular client it does not automatically mean that all cases will end this way.  However, what is important to know is that a well prepared trial attorney, who has the experience necessary to try complicated cases involving permanent spinal cord injuries or brain injury cases, is vital to a successful outcome. 

Colombo & Stuhr conducted its annual child photo ID program at the Meadowbrook Mall Baby Fair.  This is the 4th year that Colombo & Stuhr has provided parents with free child photo IDs at the Baby Fair.  As usual, the child photo ID booth was the busiest in the mall and we provided over 100 free child photo IDs to parents throughout the area.

Colombo & Stuhr not only provides first class representation to individuals and families hurt in automobile accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents, but we are involved in many community activities.  Over the years Colombo & Stuhr has provided thousands of free child photo IDs to parents in Harrison County, Randolph County, Upshur County, Marion County, Monongalia County, Taylor County, and Lewis County.

We are the injury law firm that families have turned to for years to provide legal representation in serious personal injury matters and in cases involving wrongful death.
