PERSONAL INJURYMotor Vehicle Collision

Were you injured in a car crash?

We can help.

Insurance coverage can be confusing, especially when you’re suddenly dealing with an unexpected injury.  Your own Personal Injury Protection (or “PIP”) coverage is immediately available to cover lost wages and medical treatment expenses, up to the limit you purchased.

Questions to Ask:

Did the person who caused your accident have no insurance, or not enough insurance to properly compensate you? We can help you pursue an Uninsured Motorist (UM) or Underinsured Motorist (UIM) claim.

Did the car crash occur at work? We can help you navigate both your workers’ compensation and motor vehicle collision claims.

Your Rights

You have the right to pursue a lawsuit against the person (or persons) who caused the crash.  These suits typically take time, but we can help you coordinate your interim medical and lost wage needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I recover lost wages and income as a result of a motor vehicle collision?

In Delaware, if you are injured in a motor vehicle collision and are unable to work as a result, you may be entitled to compensation for your lost wages and income. This compensation may include:

  1. Past lost wages: If you were unable to work for a period of time immediately after the collision, you may be entitled to compensation for the wages you lost during that time.
  2. Future lost wages: If your injuries are expected to prevent you from working in the future, you may be entitled to compensation for the wages you would have earned but for the collision.
  3. Loss of earning capacity: If your injuries will impact your ability to earn income in the future, you may be entitled to compensation for the difference between what you could have earned if not for the collision and what you will be able to earn after the collision.

To recover lost wages and income, you will need to provide evidence of your income prior to the collision, as well as evidence of the impact of your injuries on your ability to work. We can help you gather this evidence and build a strong case to recover the compensation you deserve.
