Issues that often come up in Delaware reviews

  • 01

    Injury court is not the corporate court

    Delaware is known for the Court of Chancery, but car-wreck and other injury matters go to Superior Court. Those are different buildings and different rules. A Route 1 or I-95 crash still follows injury practice, not a corporate docket.

  • 02

    A small state with heavy travel corridors

    Route 1, I-95, and beach-season traffic create a large share of crash reviews. Visitors hurt in Rehoboth or Dewey still need to look at Delaware filing rules, not only the state they drove in from.

  • 03

    Premises and workplace files in New Castle County

    Wilmington-area stores, industrial sites, and I-95 interchanges generate premises and workplace reviews. A participating attorney can look at whether the claim is a civil injury case, a workers compensation matter, or both.
