A Full-Service Practice for Huntington Residents
Serious injuries change lives. Beyond the physical recovery, an injured person often faces mounting medical bills, lost income, and difficult communications with insurance adjusters who are working to limit the payout. The firm's role is to handle those pressures on your behalf, preserve the evidence needed to support the claim, and pursue full and fair compensation for the losses that follow a serious injury.
The firm's Huntington practice covers a broad range of personal injury and disability matters. Attorneys and staff meet with clients personally, understand that every case is different, and take the time to explain the process, the options, and what to expect at each stage. Communication is a priority, and clients are kept informed as their case progresses.
Over the course of more than three decades in Huntington, the firm has built its practice around thorough case preparation, careful investigation, and clear communication. The goal on every matter is a result that reflects the actual scope of the client's losses, not the amount an insurance company would prefer to pay.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
The initial consultation is free. Personal injury and wrongful death cases are taken on a contingency basis, meaning the firm's fee comes out of the recovery rather than out of the client's pocket. If there is no recovery, there is no fee. Social Security Disability representation follows federal fee rules, which cap the attorney's fee at 25 percent of past-due benefits, subject to the federal maximum, and payable only if benefits are awarded.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in West Virginia?
Most personal injury claims in West Virginia are subject to a two-year statute of limitations, measured from the date of the accident. Wrongful death actions are generally subject to a two-year period as well. Certain circumstances can affect these deadlines. It is important to consult an attorney promptly so that evidence can be preserved and applicable deadlines can be identified.
Do I need to come to the office for a consultation?
No. Initial consultations can be conducted by telephone at no cost. For clients whose injuries make travel difficult, home and hospital visits can be arranged. In-person meetings at the firm's office in Huntington are also available for those who prefer them.
Does the firm handle cases outside West Virginia?
Yes. Kenneth P. Hicks holds bar admissions in West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Georgia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Florida. Social Security Disability representation is federally administered and available nationwide. Personal injury representation depends on the jurisdiction, and the firm can assist with an initial evaluation and, where appropriate, referral to counsel in another state.
Consulting with an attorney early often makes a meaningful difference in the outcome of a claim.
