West Virginia — Kentucky — Pennsylvania — Ohio

For more than thirty years the lawyers at Shuman, McCuskey & Slicer, PLLC have provided aggressive workers' compensation defense representation to employers across all stages of the claims process and before various administrative agencies, boards, and courts, including:

• Office of Judges

Our defense lawyers represent a variety of clients, including employers in the health care field, construction companies, retailers, public entities, natural gas and coal mining interests, temp agencies, and many others in matters ranging from cases involving outright fraudulent claims to those involving allegations of injury, sexual assault, discrimination and wrongful termination following a workplace injury.

This area of our firm's practice is augmented both by the years experience our defense attorneys have with workers' comp issues and, more specifically, by Christopher D. Negley's background as an attorney for the West Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission. The time Mr. Negley spent working for the commission enables him to provide our workers' compensation defense clients today with a valuable perspective and unique insights into the critical facts and laws that are likely to be considered in each case.
