Auto Accidents
Hurt in a car accident? Focus on recovering. We pursue your injury claim.
After a crash, insurance companies move quickly to limit what they pay. We handle your claim against the at-fault driver’s insurer, document your injuries and losses, and work to get you fair compensation under Delaware law.

How we help
Who it’s for: drivers, passengers and pedestrians injured in a car accident in Delaware, including multiple-vehicle crashes, motorcycle accidents, rollovers, and crashes with trucks and commercial vehicles. Depending on your goals, we negotiate a settlement, use mediation, or file a lawsuit.

We present your claim and handle the negotiation.

How fees work

A checklist to keep
Right after an accident
Get medical care, even if you feel fine.
Call the police and note the report number.
Photograph the vehicles, the scene and your injuries.
Exchange insurance information with the other driver.
Talk to a lawyer before giving a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer.
Keep every bill, receipt and record of missed work.
Delaware generally allows two years to file an injury lawsuit. Don’t wait. Evidence is easier to gather early.
Good to know
Common questions
Who pays my medical bills right after the accident?
In Delaware, Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage generally pays medical bills and lost wages first, regardless of who caused the accident. Which policy pays depends on whether you were a driver, passenger or pedestrian. We can explain how PIP affects your case, but we do not file PIP claims.
Should I talk to the other driver’s insurance company?
Be careful. Their adjuster works for the other driver. Talk with a lawyer before giving a recorded statement or signing anything.
What is my case worth?
It depends on your injuries, treatment and the insurance coverage involved. We review it with you at your free consultation.
