Lawyer George Sidiropolis practices trial law, focusing on accountability and the careful use of the civil justice system. Working in West Virginia, he founded The Injury Rights Law Firm to represent individuals and families facing serious injury, wrongful death, and insurance bad-faith disputes. His work is guided by preparation, steady judgment, and the belief that courts should remain accessible to people who need them most.
He has built his career representing individuals rather than institutions, often in cases involving corporations and insurance companies. He believes the justice system works best when cases are developed with discipline and presented clearly. His approach emphasizes understanding the real consequences of injury and presenting those facts responsibly so decision-makers can evaluate them fairly.
The Injury Rights Law Firm was established in 2023 to concentrate on complex civil litigation. The firm represents clients dealing with catastrophic injuries, permanent impairments, and fatal incidents. A large part of his practice involves commercial trucking crashes, traumatic brain injury cases, and disputes related to insurance bad-faith conduct. His work reflects a balance between traditional trial preparation and modern litigation strategy.
One of the most notable outcomes of his career occurred when he served as co-counsel in a Jefferson County, Ohio case that resulted in an 82.1 million dollar jury verdict. The case involved a motorcyclist who lost his left arm and left leg in a commercial truck crash. The verdict was reported as the most significant trucking verdict in Ohio and the largest amputation verdict in history, demonstrating the impact of thorough preparation and focused trial presentation.
Earlier in his professional path, George Sidiropolis of West Virginia served as a Municipal Court Judge in Benwood. He was recognized for fairness and efficiency in courtroom proceedings. His experience on the bench provided practical insight into how judges evaluate cases and make decisions, knowledge that continues to shape how he approaches trial advocacy.
His educational background includes earning a Juris Doctor from the West Virginia University College of Law. He is admitted to practice in West Virginia, the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of West Virginia, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Before law school, he earned a B.A. in Philosophy from Wheeling Jesuit University and later returned as an Adjunct Professor to teach American Jurisprudence.
Sidiropolis remains active in professional education and mentorship through organizations such as the West Virginia Association for Justice, where he serves on the board and programming committee. He is also a member of the American Association for Justice, the Attorney Information Exchange Group, and the Academy of Trucking Accident Attorneys, and he continues ongoing legal education through national programs and advanced CLE courses.
Away from legal work, George Sidiropolis has a longstanding interest in collectibles, including comic books, VHS tapes, and movie posters, and he dedicates much of his personal time to caring for his cousin Mark, with whom he enjoys sharing films and quiet evenings.
