Serious Injury Lawyer in Delaware

After a serious injury caused by someone else's negligence, Ciconte Wasserman in Wilmington represents injured people and families in Delaware and Pennsylvania. Its attorneys investigate early, preserve evidence and pursue the claim as Delaware injury lawyers, with a free consultation and no fee unless the firm wins the case.

Serious injury cases include truck crashes, drunk drivers, defective products, unsafe property and wrongful death.

Evidence such as surveillance footage, black box data and the product itself can disappear quickly.

Under Delaware law, most personal injury cases have no cap on economic or non-economic damages.

A civil wrongful death claim does not need a criminal conviction.

The firm's serious injury work covers catastrophic injuries, trucking accidents, crashes caused by drunk drivers, defective products, unsafe property, dog and animal bites and wrongful death. Crash victims work with the firm's car accident attorneys on both the injury and the insurance questions.

Several parties may share responsibility. In a truck crash, they include the driver, the trucking company, the vehicle owner, maintenance contractors and insurers. In a product case, the manufacturer, distributor or retailer may be responsible for a defective design, a manufacturing defect or a failure to warn. In a premises case, the question is whether the owner knew, or should have known, about the dangerous condition.

Adam Wasserman stresses speed after a crash: "The details you gather in the first hours after a crash can make or break your case."

Truck cases depend on electronic driver logs, black box data, maintenance records and company safety policies, and trucking companies often investigate right away. Premises cases depend on surveillance footage, incident reports and witnesses, and conditions get repaired. In a product case, keep the product: it is often important evidence. A recall can support a claim, but it is not required.

Manufacturers, trucking companies and their insurers often begin building a defense right away. The firm steps in early, including when the insurer refuses a fair payment.

A serious injury claim may include medical bills, future medical care, long-term care costs, lost wages, permanent limitations, pain and suffering, out-of-pocket expenses and the impact on daily life. Under Delaware law, punitive damages require willful, malicious, reckless or grossly negligent conduct.

Each one is weighed when an attorney reviews whether there is a case.

The firm investigates, gathers evidence and consults experts. In product cases, that can mean engineers, medical experts and safety specialists. It reviews the medical records, every policy that may apply and the injury's effect on daily life. Every claim is built to hold up if the insurer challenges fault, damages or value.

Adam F. Wasserman litigates in all Delaware courts, from the Justice of the Peace Court to the Supreme Court and federal district court. Families after a fatal accident are among the people the firm represents, and its practice area for injury claims covers each case type on this page.

The firm represents people facing catastrophic or long-lasting injuries from a crash, a fall, a defective product or an animal attack, and families who lost someone to another party's negligence. The first step is a free consultation with an injury attorney, and what injury clients say in their reviews is summarized on a separate page.
