Medical & Product Injuries Claims in Wilmington, Delaware
Our office sits in the heart of Wilmington on Delaware Avenue, and we represent injured residents from Trolley Square to the Riverfront and across the city. When negligence causes an injury here, First State Injury Lawyers are ready to step in. We handle medical & product injuries claims throughout Wilmington and New Castle County, dealing with the insurance companies so you can focus on recovery.
Delaware generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a claim, and evidence fades fast, especially along busy corridors like I-95 and Route 13. The sooner we’re involved, the stronger your case.
Medical negligence claims from Wilmington
Wilmington residents receive care across the ChristianaCare system and a dense network of specialist practices, imaging centres and surgical facilities. The cases that reach us are rarely about a single dramatic error. They are about a missed or delayed diagnosis, a result that was reported but never acted on, a medication interaction, or a surgical complication that was recognised too late.
Delaware requires an affidavit of merit from a qualified expert to be filed with the complaint, so a Wilmington medical negligence case starts with obtaining the complete record, not the discharge summary, and putting it in front of a specialist in the same field. A bad outcome on its own is not negligence, and if the record does not support a claim we will tell you that rather than run up your time. Two years is the general deadline and it can run from a date earlier than you expect. Filed in the Superior Court for New Castle 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.
