We are Wilmington, DE car accident lawyers who focus our law practice on serious personal injury claims and wrongful death claims against drunk drivers, drugged drivers, careless and otherwise negligent drivers, and the people who enable them to get behind the wheel.
From our offices on Delaware Avenue in Wilmington, DE, we are available to consult with counsel as jury trial specialists or to consult with the general public, in cases involving commercial trucks in interstate commerce, DART bus collisions, local live-haul truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian-struck-by-car accidents, bicyclist-struck-by-car accidents, hit-and-run and “phantom vehicle” accidents, Uninsured Motorist claims, Underinsured Motorist Claims, catastrophic injury cases and wrongful death claims.
Are you an attorney looking for a co-counsel to assist with your client’s catastrophic injury or death case? Or looking for someone to help by taking your referral? Many of our cases come to us on referral from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Maryland lawyers who need a Delaware personal injury lawyer to place their case with. In co-counsel cases, we often move the admission of out-of-state counsel pro hac vice and participate in the labor and investment of the case. In other matters, other attorneys are glad to refer their catastrophic injury and death claim to us for vigorous prosecution with the understanding that we pay referral fees as permitted under applicable law and professional conduct rules.

If you or a family member have been seriously injured in an automobile accident occurring in the State of Delaware, contact us as soon as you are able to learn more about your legal rights. We want to help. We feel compelled to help you – to explain your rights, to assist you to complete the necessary forms, to investigate your liability case – because we know that the insurance companies are looking for every defect and mistake so they can exploit every advantage.
Under Delaware law, there is a two-year statute of limitations on your right to sue the responsible party who caused your car accident and resulting injuries. But you should never wait until the two years have nearly passed to find an attorney. We advise that you find a qualified attorney immediately after your accident.
There are other time limits under Delaware law that you should know about. For example, your Delaware Personal Injury Protection or PIP – the insurance that should pay for your medical care and your lost wages if you were occupying a Delaware registered and insured vehicle – covers you up to your policy limit and for a period of up to two years after the accident.
If your insurance company fails or refuses to pay for a validly-submitted medical or pharmacy expense resulting from your automobile accident, you have three years from the date of the denial to file a lawsuit against the insurance company.
There are other important deadlines as well in Delaware car accident cases. We would encourage you to call us for a free consultation as soon as possible.
