1 HEALTHCARE PROVIDER LIABILITY IN WEST VIRGINIA UPDATE ON THE LAW
2 Medical Malpractice Claims in West Virginia The Medical Professional Liability Act (MPLA) West Virginia Code Section 55-7B-1 et seq.

The Act provides limitations and restrictions that are not present in other personal injury actions.
