The Delaware Personal Injury Attorneys of Knepper & Stratton

If you were injured or a loved one has died in an accident along a busy Delaware roadway—State Routes 1, 2, 7, 9, 52, 71, 72, 299, or 896, on U.S. Routes 13, 40, 202, or 301, or on I-95—you may be facing many worries:

• Will you be able to work?
• How will your bills get paid?
• Who is responsible for your medical bills?
• Will you be able to afford the medical and rehabilitation therapy you need?
• Without the income and support of your loved one who died, how will you make ends meet?

These are serious, even scary questions, and you deserve answers. We can help.

Since 1992, the personal injury attorneys at Knepper & Stratton have been providing injured people and grieving families with aggressive courtroom representation in personal injury and wrongful death cases.

It Is Important to Call an Injury Attorney Right Away

Too often, people come to us only after their insurance claim was rejected or they have received other bad news from their insurance company. Unfortunately, many of these people had already given a taped statement about the accident to an insurance adjuster which, because they did not understand all the issues, damaged their case. It is essential to consult an attorney before you give statements to insurance companies or sign anything.

It is easy to say things that will limit your ability to seek full recovery without even knowing that you have harmed your case. Your attorney is not going to encourage you to be less than honest—a good personal injury lawyer will be there to protect your rights and make sure you do not limit your financial compensation because you did not fully understand the scope of the questions.

It is best to contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as you can after your accident. If you or your family member is in the hospital, we can arrange home or hospital visits.

Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey Accident Laws Differ

People are often confused about their rights to recover compensation after a car accident in Delaware. Unlike in Pennsylvania, you do not have to have paid for extra tort insurance. Also, your financial damages do not have to reach a certain dollar amount before you can seek compensation for them from the negligent party and their insurance company. You can make a claim to recover any amount of financial losses.

Knepper & Stratton's injury lawyers work with clients from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, or any other location who were injured in Delaware. Contact our office nearest you to speak with an attorney.
