Employment Law Attorneys in Huntington, WV
Fierce Advocacy for West Virginia Workers
Enduring a workplace rights violation can leave you feeling disempowered. Because West Virginia is an "at-will" employment state, many corporate employers assume they can terminate or mistreat staff with impunity.
However, federal regulations and state labor laws draw clear lines to insulate workers from corporate overreach. Your at-will status never gives an employer a blank check to violate your civil rights or strip away your dignity.
When a company compromises your livelihood or subjects you to an abusive environment, you need a legal team capable of cutting through corporate defense tactics. Addair Entsminger PLLC is committed to holding non-compliant employers accountable.
Having spent years practicing inside prominent corporate defense firms, attorneys Mike Addair and Kurt Entsminger have deep, first-hand knowledge of the strategies companies use to evade liability. We bring that elite background directly to the workforce of Huntington, evening the odds for everyday citizens.
Consult a Huntington employment lawyer in a confidential in-office or virtual meeting by calling (304) 902-8518 or messaging our firm online.
A Technical & Aggressive Approach to Workplace Violations
Attempting to resolve an active dispute through your company’s Human Resources department is often a conflict of interest; HR is fundamentally structured to shield the organization from legal exposure, not to advocate for you.
Our firm can step into the gap to intercept employer misconduct. We meticulously reconstruct the timeline of your mistreatment, preserving internal communications, extracting digital footprints, and interviewing key witnesses to build a well-founded claim.
We provide formidable representation against small businesses, massive manufacturing facilities, and major local healthcare networks alike across several key areas.
- Discrimination, harassment, and hostile environments: It is strictly illegal to target an employee with adverse treatment, such as wage reductions, demotions, or unfair disciplinary write-ups, based on their race, age, sex, religion, or disability status. We aggressively pursue claims against companies that fail to provide reasonable medical accommodations or tolerate toxic, offensive workplace cultures.
- Whistleblower and retaliation defense: West Virginia law protects your right to report safety hazards, medical understaffing, or fraudulent business practices. If you were terminated, isolated, or penalized for filing a good-faith complaint or seeking workers' compensation benefits, we can pursue damages for your financial losses and emotional distress.
- Medical leave and wage rights: We routinely stand up for workers whose Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) rights have been compromised, as well as employees fighting to recover unpaid overtime or stolen wages under the West Virginia Wage Payment and Collection Act.
- Wrongful termination: Although you work under at-will employment arrangements, employers are still prohibited from firing you for unlawful reasons. Dismissals motivated by discrimination, retaliation, whistleblowing activities, or the exercise of protected legal rights give rise to a wrongful termination claim.
Proven Courtroom Advocacy for Serious Personal Injury Claims
Our trial-tested approach to litigation is not confined strictly to the workplace. If you or someone you love has been injured due to another party's reckless actions, our personal injury practice is equipped to challenge stubborn insurance providers.
Whether your injury occurred along Route 60 or the busy lanes of I-64, we fight to recover your medical costs, lost income, and long-term rehabilitation expenses.
Our firm provides comprehensive personal injury representation to Huntington residents dealing with:
- Severe commercial trucking, motorcycle, and automobile collisions.
- Toxic chemical, industrial site, and coal mining accidents.
- Unsafe premises, slip-and-falls, and other negligence claims.
Demand Accountability for Your Future
Whether a manager has violated your workplace rights or a major accident has derailed your physical health, you should not have to face the legal process alone.
Our firm removes all financial risk by handling all employment and personal injury cases on a strict contingency fee basis. You don’t owe us attorney's fees unless we secure a financial settlement or a jury verdict on your behalf.
