SUMMARY
As an attorney at The Masters Law Firm, L.C., Robert P. Welsh is dedicated to representing clients in Charleston, West Virginia. He commits his practice to handling cases that involve personal injury law, medical malpractice law and medical negligence law.
As a nationally registered paramedic, Mr. Welsh has more than a decade of experience providing emergency care to the ill and injured. He understands what proper medical treatment should look like. When medical professionals stray from those standards, they can cause significant harm to patients.
Mr. Welsh has spent his career trying to right those wrongs through securing compensation for victims of negligence. He has tried more than 40 cases to verdict during his 20 years of medical malpractice litigation. Treating each client with compassion, Mr. Welsh builds a compelling argument and aggressively pursues justice.
In one notable success, Mr. Welsh obtained a $4.3 million jury verdict on behalf of a client who had experienced urological malpractice. In another case, he secured a $1.42 million settlement for a client who had suffered to a delay in the diagnosis of compartment syndrome.
Mr. Welsh was admitted to practice in West Virginia in 1994 and in Pennsylvania in 1993. He is admitted to practice before the West Virginia Supreme Court and all lower courts in the state, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, the U.S. District Courts for the Southern and Northern Districts of West Virginia, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, the Pennsylvania Superior Court and the U.S. District Courts for the Western and Eastern Districts of Pennsylvania.
