At Bailey, Javins & Carter, L.C., our roots and our hearts are in West Virginia, but we represent the injured across our great nation. We have practiced law here since 1970, meaning we know the laws and the courtrooms in which they are applied. But our knowledge runs much deeper than that. We know the people who live here and we understand the hard work they do. Attorneys at our law firm are from coal mining families and grew up seeing firsthand the toll this dangerous work can take. We are proud to serve as advocates for people who have suffered that toll, as well as anyone who has been hurt at work or due to an act of negligence.
