Lawyer George Sidiropolis

Lawyer George Sidiropolis has developed a trial practice focused on careful advocacy and the practical use of the civil justice system. Based in West Virginia, he is the founder of The Injury Rights Law Firm, where he represents individuals and families dealing with serious injuries, wrongful death, and insurance bad-faith disputes. His work reflects a belief that preparation and clarity remain essential to fair legal outcomes.

His career has been shaped by representing people rather than institutions, often in cases involving corporations and insurance companies. He believes the justice system should function as a safeguard for those who have been harmed, not as a barrier to accountability. He approaches litigation with discipline and patience, viewing the courtroom as a place where evidence still matters when cases are prepared responsibly.

In 2023, Sidiropolis founded The Injury Rights Law Firm to focus on complex and demanding litigation. The firm handles matters involving catastrophic injuries, permanent impairment, and fatal incidents. A significant portion of his practice involves commercial trucking crashes, traumatic brain injury claims, and insurance bad-faith cases. His approach combines traditional trial fundamentals with modern strategies intended to present complex issues clearly and directly.

One of the most notable results of his legal career came when he served as co-counsel in a Jefferson County, Ohio, trial that resulted in an $82.1 million jury verdict. The case involved a motorcyclist who lost his left arm and left leg following a commercial truck crash. The verdict was reported as the most significant trucking verdict in Ohio and the largest amputation verdict in history, reflecting the impact of detailed preparation and focused trial presentation.

Before concentrating fully on private practice, George Sidiropolis of West Virginia served as a Municipal Court Judge in Benwood. He was known for fairness and efficiency in courtroom proceedings. That experience provided valuable insight into how judges evaluate evidence and arguments, shaping how he now approaches trial work from both the perspective of an advocate and that of a former jurist.

His education 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. Earlier, he earned a B.A. in Philosophy from Wheeling Jesuit University and later returned as an Adjunct Professor teaching American Jurisprudence.

Sidiropolis remains active in professional education and mentorship. He serves on the West Virginia Association for Justice board and its 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. He continues to pursue ongoing legal education through national programs and advanced CLE courses.

Outside of legal work, George Sidiropolis maintains an interest in collectibles such as comic books, VHS tapes, and movie posters, while dedicating much of his personal time to caring for his cousin Mark and enjoying shared time together watching films.
