At Hayhurst Law PLLC, we have spent more than a decade advocating for those clients who cannot fight for themselves. Attorney Eric Hayhurst has successfully represented many accident victims in West Virginia, Virginia, and Pennsylvania who suffered serious injuries due to the negligent and reckless acts of others.
Attorney Hayhurst ensures that victims of car and other types of vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, premises liability, and work injuries have a voice in seeking financial justice for the losses their injuries have caused them. He also fights for the families of victims who tragically do not survive their injuries, pursuing damages in wrongful death lawsuits.
In keeping with this dedication to helping accident victims, our law firm has created the Hayhurst Law Personal Injury Survivor & Friends Scholarship, for a student who has been a victim of a personal injury accident and did not let this stop them from pursuing their academic dreams; or for a friend or family member who stood by an accident victim in their time of need and was inspired to pursue their own academic goals.
