Shuman, McCuskey & Slicer, PLLC
West Virginia — Kentucky — Virginia — Ohio
Shuman, McCuskey & Slicer, PLLC represents insurance carriers and their insureds across the entire spectrum of their involvement in the litigation process. From coverage opinions to defense of insureds to handling direct actions against insurance companies, our attorneys — admitted to practice in West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio — are available to provide a thorough and complete analysis of the legal issues involved.
We represent individuals, businesses, public entities and insurance carriers in a broad array of litigation matters, including product liability, long-term care litigation and nursing home defense, Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act or "Bad Faith" defense litigation, declaratory judgment actions, toxic torts related to the gas and coal industries, professional liability (including medical malpractice defense, legal malpractice defense, veterinary malpractice defense, and other forms of professional malpractice defense), employment law defense, sexual harassment, age and gender discrimination, workers' compensation defense, asbestos and silica liability, municipal and public entity liability, civil rights defense, directors' and officers' liability, general liability, complex litigation, mass torts, and class action lawsuits.
Our attorneys possess the knowledge and experience needed to evaluate the exposure of each claim quickly and accurately. We relate our assessment clearly, concisely, and perhaps most importantly, with complete candor to our clients so we can plan a litigation strategy in concert with the insurance carrier. We also make certain that all parties are honestly informed of both the potential exposure and the cost of defense so that, together, we can make an intelligent and informed decision about a quick disposition or a thorough defense.
Timely and forthright communication with each client is just one of our strengths. Litigation is another, and, as a rule, our lawyers are no strangers to the courtroom or to successful results.
