Work injuries in and around New Castle
Workers hurt in New Castle are often injured on job sites and in facilities served by Route 9, Route 141, Route 13, which carry the commercial and construction traffic through New Castle County. Construction falls, struck-by incidents, equipment failures and vehicle collisions during the work day all reach us from this area.
Delaware workers compensation claims are decided by the Industrial Accident Board rather than a county court, and the comp system is no-fault, so you do not have to prove your employer did anything wrong. What comp does not do is pay the full value of a catastrophic injury. We review every New Castle work injury for a separate third-party claim, which would be brought in the Superior Court for New Castle County County.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost in Delaware?
Nothing up front. First State Injury Lawyers handle personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis. There is no fee unless we win your case. Your initial case review is always free and confidential.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Delaware?
In most Delaware personal injury cases, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury. Some claims have shorter or different deadlines, so it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What is my Delaware injury case worth?
Every case is different. Compensation can include medical bills, future medical care, lost wages, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and more. After reviewing your accident, injuries, and insurance coverage, we can give you a realistic assessment of your claim's value.
Should I accept the insurance company's first settlement offer?
Usually not. First offers are typically far below what a well-documented claim is worth. Once you accept, you generally cannot reopen the claim. Talk to us before signing anything or giving a recorded statement.
