Personal Injury Lawyers Serving Middletown, DE

Personal injury law is the branch of civil law that deals with cases in which a person has been injured or killed because of the negligence of another party. In these types of cases, individuals can seek to recover damages for their losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Depending on the circumstances, a personal injury lawyer may be able to help you pursue punitive damages as well.

At Rhoades & Morrow, we specialize in a wide range of personal injury cases. Our lawyers will ensure that you understand your rights and legal options before beginning the process so that you can make the best decision for yourself and your family.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Our personal injury law firm handles a variety of cases, including:

Auto Accidents

Statistically speaking, more motorists on the road means an increase in motor vehicle accidents. Common contributing factors to accidents include distracted driving, drunk driving, and aggressive driving.

Catastrophic Injury

Victims with permanent disabilities due to an assault, motor vehicle accident, or work accident may benefit from consulting with personal injury lawyers who can address their needs and ensure they are being met.

Defective Products

With our extensive product liability experience, our Middletown personal injury lawyers will guide clients in filing claims against manufacturers, corporations, and distributors of defective products.

Medical Malpractice

Our law firm handles medical malpractice claims including birth injury, misdiagnosis and failure to treat cancer, serious illness, or cardiac arrest, as well as medication and lab errors.

Motorcycle Accidents

Since motorcycles expose motorcyclists to potentially dangerous elements, motorcyclists are more vulnerable to sustaining life-threatening injuries in an accident with a negligent driver.

Nursing Home Abuse

Many elderly patients cannot speak out if they experience abuse, so our law firm will investigate and handle any abuse claims. Unexplained injuries, medication errors, lack of safety measures to prevent falls and roaming, as well as bedsores, dehydration, and malnourishment, may demonstrate inadequate care.

Pedestrian and Bike Accidents

Motorists may not realize the rules that protect pedestrians and bicyclists on the road. Unfortunately, this misconception makes pedestrians and bicyclists vulnerable to possibly sustaining serious injuries or even fatalities.

Premises Liability

Both property and commercial owners must maintain their premises to ensure they are safe and secure. Catastrophic injuries affecting the head and spine may result in expensive medical bills and debilitating conditions.

Truck Accidents

Legal complications may arise in a truck accident because the driver, owner/operator and trucking company will attempt to avoid liability. Despite this, our personal injury lawyers will ensure you secure the maximum awards for any catastrophic damage that occurs.

Workers’ Compensation Cases

With our understanding of Workers’ Compensation, we serve injured workers and navigate the complex guidelines for retrieving benefits.

Wrongful Death Claims

If a loved one experienced a fatal accident like drowning, electrocution, suffocation, or violence, for which another party was accountable, our personal injury attorneys will hold the parties responsible and recover any available compensation for family members.

You Deserve Compensation For Your Injuries

If you sustained a personal injury because of another’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. Even if it is not apparent at the time of the accident, your injury could adversely affect your well-being and interfere with your ability to earn an income. Minor injuries may become long-term health issues, whether you experienced a slip and fall accident or a catastrophic car accident. If you contact a personal injury lawyer to file for damages, the compensation you receive could cover varied expenses including:

• Medical treatment

• Income including both past and future earnings

• Property loss

• Emotional trauma

• Loss of enjoyment

• Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence
