We provide comprehensive legal representation for individuals in Delaware who have suffered harm due to work-related or liability accidents, including but not limited to incidents such as motor vehicle collisions, slip and fall accidents, dog bites, and product liability issues.
Work injuries refer to physical harm that occurs as a result of performing job-related tasks or being exposed to work-related hazards. These injuries can range from minor cuts and bruises to serious and life-altering conditions such as broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, or illnesses caused by exposure to toxic substances. Work injuries can have a significant impact on an individual’s health, financial stability, and ability to work, and may require legal assistance to obtain proper compensation and benefits.
Not all injured workers will qualify for all of these benefits. A free consultation with our attorneys can help you understand which benefit you may qualify for; how much money you might receive; and about how long the recovery process takes.
Under Delaware law, workers’ compensation is intended to cover all necessary and reasonable medical expenses related to your work injury. This can include doctor visits, hospitalization, surgery, prescription medication, physical therapy, and other related medical expenses.
It is important to note that there may be limitations on what types of medical expenses are covered, and the medical providers you may treat with. Additionally, workers’ compensation will not cover medical expenses that are unrelated to your work injury, such as pre-existing conditions or injuries that occurred outside of work.
To ensure that your medical expenses are covered under workers’ compensation, it is important to follow the proper procedures for filing a claim and to provide all necessary documentation, such as medical records and bills, to support your claim. If you are having difficulty getting your medical expenses covered under workers’ compensation, it is important to seek the advice of an experienced workers’ compensation attorney who can help you navigate the claims process and ensure that you receive the benefits to which you are entitled.

Under Delaware law, if you are unable to work due to a work-related injury, you may be entitled to wage replacement benefits through workers’ compensation. Specifically, workers’ compensation provides two types of wage replacement benefits: temporary total disability (TTD) benefits and partial disability (TPD) benefits.
TTD benefits are intended to replace a portion of your lost wages while you are unable to work due to your work-related injury. The amount of TTD benefits you receive will depend on your average weekly wage prior to your injury, and the duration of your benefits will depend on the severity of your injury and your ability to return to work.
TPD benefits are intended to provide compensation for any partial disability resulting from your work injury. This may apply to your injury if your doctor has released you to return to work with restrictions. The amount of TPD benefits you receive will depend on the severity of your impairment and how it affects your earning capacity.
It is important to note that there are certain limitations on wage replacement benefits, such as maximum weekly benefit amounts and limits on the duration of benefits. If you are having difficulty receiving wage replacement benefits through workers’ compensation, it is important to seek the advice of an experienced workers’ compensation attorney who can help you navigate the claims process and ensure that you receive the benefits to which you are entitled.
