Dover is Delaware’s capital, and its roads carry a distinct mix of commuter traffic, commercial vehicles, state employees, and military personnel traveling to and from Dover Air Force Base. US-13 and Route 1 are the city’s primary arteries, and both see serious collisions, including at busy intersections along South State Street, near the Bayhealth Kent General Hospital corridor on South Governors Avenue, and along the faster sections of Route 1 south of the city. Shelsby & Leoni represents people hurt in car accidents in Dover and throughout Kent County.
Crash claims in Dover are often more complicated than they look. Collisions on US-13 and Route 1 frequently involve commercial vehicles, government employees, or drivers with unclear insurance coverage, all of which complicate a claim. Soft tissue injuries, internal trauma, and concussions do not always appear on initial scans, making early medical documentation critical. An attorney can preserve evidence, identify all responsible parties, and counter insurer arguments before they take hold.
Delaware law requires immediate reporting of accidents involving injury, death, or significant property damage. The firm advises injured people to get medical attention promptly, report the crash to police, gather evidence at the scene, notify their insurer without giving a recorded statement, and keep track of every medical bill and receipt. The firm handles cases on a contingency fee basis, with no legal fees unless it recovers compensation.
