Personal injury cases Ciconte Wasserman handles
The firm's injury work covers car accidents, trucking accidents, crashes with drunk drivers, slip and falls, unsafe property, defective products, dog and animal bites, catastrophic injuries and wrongful death. It also represents pedestrians and cyclists hit by cars, and passengers hurt in crashes.
People hurt in a crash on Delaware roads can work with a car accident lawyer in Wilmington on PIP, lost wages and the insurance claim. When the at-fault driver had no insurance or too little, the firm pursues uninsured or underinsured driver claims through the injured person's own policy. Truck crashes and defective products can cause serious injuries caused by negligence, and those cases depend on evidence gathered early.

Under Delaware law, there is no cap on economic or non-economic damages in most personal injury cases. A preexisting condition does not automatically end a case if the accident made it worse. In a free consultation for an injury case, an attorney explains which of these rules apply to a given injury.
How Ciconte Wasserman builds an injury claim
The firm takes a personalized, hands-on approach. Its attorneys investigate what happened, gather evidence and consult experts. They review the medical records, the insurance coverage and how the injury has changed the client's daily life.
The firm then deals with the insurance company directly. It works to recover lost wages and coordinates medical bills through PIP, other insurance or the final settlement. Many cases settle out of court, and each claim is prepared in case the insurer disputes fault, damages or value.
The firm's published message to injured people is simple: "You do not need to know all of the rules before calling."
When the insurance company pushes back
Insurers often argue that the accident was minor, that the injury was preexisting, that treatment started too late, that the injured person was partly at fault, or that the available insurance is limited. These issues do not always defeat a claim, but they need careful handling. The firm takes on cases when the insurance company refuses to pay fairly, including claims a client first started alone.
Deciding whether there is a claim
A police report is not required to make a claim, and it is not binding. Delayed pain after a crash is common, and documenting it with a doctor matters. Anyone unsure about their situation can ask for a review of whether there is a claim, which covers how the injury happened, who could be held responsible, which insurance is in play and the claim's likely value.
