Deliberate Intent/Mandolidis Claims
For too many West Virginia workers, unsafe working conditions are a fact of life. Fortunately, our state provides an additional layer of legal protection for employees who are injured in the workplace: a right to sue employers whose disregard for worker safety goes beyond mere negligence, but amounts to the conscious and intentional exposure of workers to unsafe conditions. Cases involving an employer’s deliberate intent, as such claims are known, give the employee the right to sue for personal injury damages in addition to workers’ compensation benefits.
To learn about your legal alternatives in a case involving an employer’s deliberate intent, contact the personal injury and wrongful death attorneys at the Warner Law Offices in Charleston.

Our ability to prove your right to the full range of damages available in a personal injury case or wrongful death lawsuit can make a very substantial difference in your overall recovery.
