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 injury and many criminal matters go to Superior Court. Family Court handles divorce and custody. Those are different buildings and different rules.

  • 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.
