Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Our Newark personal injury attorneys help clients pursue fair compensation across a wide range of personal injury claims, from automobile accidents, premises liability, medical malpractice, and more.
Motor Vehicle Collisions
Newark’s busiest roads — including I-95, DE-273, DE-72, Route 4, Route 2, and Route 896 — experience significant congestion, commercial truck traffic, and crash-prone intersections. These conditions frequently lead to serious personal injuries.
We assist individuals injured in:
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
- Multi-vehicle collisions on I-95
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents near the University of Delaware
If you were hurt on any of Newark’s major roadways, our attorneys can help you hold the at-fault party accountable and pursue compensation for your losses.
Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall incidents are common across Newark’s busiest commercial, residential, and retail areas — particularly around Christiana Mall, College Square, supermarkets, restaurants, and apartment complexes near Elkton Road and Marrows Road.
These personal injury cases often involve hazards such as:
- Wet or uneven flooring
- Poor lighting
- Snow or ice buildup
- Unsafe walkways
- Neglected maintenance
Property owners have a legal duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. When they fail to do so, we help victims seek compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Work Accidents
Work-related injuries are common in Newark and Christiana, particularly in industries such as warehousing, distribution, construction, manufacturing, retail, and food service.
While workers’ compensation provides coverage for medical treatment and lost wages, claims can be denied, delayed, or undervalued. Our attorneys help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the benefits to which you are entitled under Delaware law.
Wrongful Death Claims
The loss of a loved one is devastating, especially when caused by another person’s negligence. Our attorneys help families pursue wrongful death claims involving fatal vehicle crashes, workplace incidents, and unsafe property conditions.
Compensation may be available for:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of financial support
- Loss of companionship
- Emotional suffering
We guide families through every step with care, dignity, and respect.
We also assist clients who have been injured in construction accidents, dog bites, product liability incidents, and other forms of negligence that commonly occur throughout Newark and its surrounding communities.
Understanding Delaware Personal Injury Law
Delaware law allows injured individuals to pursue compensation for both economic and non-economic damages when someone else’s negligence causes harm. Economic damages may include medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and property damage. In contrast, non-economic damages may include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of quality of life, and, in cases of wrongful death, loss of companionship.
In addition, Delaware follows modified comparative negligence laws, meaning your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, and you cannot recover damages if you are found more than 50% responsible.
Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the incident, though limited situations involving late-discovered injuries may allow up to three years.
Judges may calculate non-economic damages by multiplying your economic losses by a number between one and five, depending on the severity of the injury and its long-term impact.
