Legal Philosophy

One thing probably a lot of people don’t realize about me is, I don’t drive a Mercedes, I don’t drive a BMW, I drive a pick-up truck. I like to deer-hunt. My hunting buddies are my uncle and my dad, and we spend every Saturday during hunting season in the woods, and my wife calls herself a hunting widow because of that. My name is Chris West, and I’m from North Carolina.

Spent just about all my life here in North Carolina. I’m the son of a 20-year veteran of the air force. And although military families normally have to move around quite a bit, the military was very nice to us and allowed my dad to stay stationed at Harpop air force base for the majority of his career. What makes me want to get up in the morning and go to work is, it may sound kind of corny and say, “Well, I want to help people.” But through the years of me doing this, that is what it’s all about.

Area of Practice

With this sort of work you’re dealing with peoples lives, you’re dealing with people who are in need of medical care, that are in pain, they just want the pain to go away. And you’re dealing with people who are out of work, and they don’t have a way to pay for bills. They’re worried about putting food on the table for their family. And that’s what my job is to do, is to make sure that while they’re recovering from their injury, they’re getting the care that they need, and at the same time they’re provided that income they need to support their family. There is this misconception by some people in the public, but mostly by insurance companies as well, that these people that are injured are just sitting on the couch and drawing a check, and that they like that. But that’s not the truth at all.

These people want to work, they want to get back to work, they want that good feeling that comes from getting back to work. My job is to make sure they get that care that they need so they can get back to work as soon as possible. People who have a workers compensation claim, someone who’s injured, I think it’s important that they seek help. Because the purpose of workers compensation is to make sure a person gets care, and they get back to work. And that’s what we’re here for. We are here to help people get their lives back.
