Our Delaware Practice Areas

We advocate for victims who have suffered severe injuries or loss due to negligence across Delaware:

Auto Accidents

Delaware motor vehicle accident claims require a deep understanding of state insurance requirements, including Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. Attorney Jimmy Chong works quickly to secure proper medical care funding and pursue full compensation for loss of earnings, pain, and suffering.

 

Medical Malpractice

When Delaware healthcare providers, clinics, or hospitals commit errors that cause severe harm, we hold them accountable. We handle complex claims involving surgical errors, birth trauma, misdiagnosis, and medication failures.

 

Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Delaware highways—including I-95, Route 1, and Route 13—see heavy commercial truck traffic daily. We investigate trucking logbooks, vehicle safety records, and driver compliance to build ironclad cases against negligent trucking companies.

 

Catastrophic Injury & Wrongful Death

If a family member has suffered a life-altering disability or fatal accident due to someone else’s fault, we fight to secure financial security, covering lost future income, funeral costs, medical bills, and emotional loss.

 

Medical Malpractice

While it is reasonable for people to expect competent treatment from a medical provider, negligent doctors commit medical malpractice on vulnerable patients. Insurance carriers fiercely defend medical malpractice lawsuits. This is because medical malpractice victims often suffered gruesome injuries that require extensive medical treatment.

 

Catastrophic Injury

While many personal injury victims fully recover from their injuries, others find their lives forever changed. This is because victims that suffer catastrophic injuries can be left with permanent damage. Due to the severity of their injuries, catastrophic injury victims require comprehensive future medical treatment. The attorneys at the Chong Law Firm are skilled at preparing and presenting complex expert witness testimony in order to support claims of future medical treatment.

NAVIGATING DELAWARE PERSONAL INJURY LAWS

Crucial Statutes & Insurance Regulations

1. Statute of Limitations (2 Years): Under Delaware Law (10 Del. C. § 8119), personal injury lawsuits generally must be filed within two years from the date of the injury. Missing this deadline revokes your right to file a claim.

2. Modified Comparative Negligence Standard (51% Rule): Under 10 Del. C. § 8132, an injured party can recover compensation as long as they are not more than 50% at fault. If your fault is 51% or higher, recovery is barred; if 50% or less, damages are reduced proportionately.

3. Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Benefits: Delaware is a “no-fault” state for initial medical payments and lost wages under your mandatory PIP auto insurance coverage. We help ensure your insurance provider pays out full PIP benefits while simultaneously pursuing third-party claims against the at-fault driver.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Q: What fees do you charge for a Delaware personal injury case?

A: We work on a contingency fee basis. You do not pay any upfront attorney fees or out-of-pocket expenses. We only earn a fee if we successfully win a settlement or court award on your behalf.

Q: How does PIP (Personal Injury Protection) work in Delaware?

A: Delaware requires vehicle owners to carry PIP insurance to cover immediate medical expenses and lost wages following an accident, regardless of who caused it. We help you submit your PIP claims correctly and pursue the at-fault party for damages exceeding PIP policy limits.

Q: What should I bring to my initial legal consultation?

A: Bring any police collision reports, contact details for involved parties/witnesses, photographs of the scene and injuries, medical bills/discharge summaries, and communications from insurance representatives.
