We serve clients in Delaware, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.

Before we began representing personal injury victims, we practiced insurance defense law for a number of years. As a result, we learned from the inside how insurance companies evaluate and defend medical malpractice, car accidents, tractor-trailer accidents, construction accidents, nursing home injuries, and other types of personal injury cases. We also know the resources that insurance companies have available to defend themselves from personal injury lawsuits. Our experience gives us an edge, because we prepare a case for litigation long before a defense lawyer sees it.

Experienced Wilmington Delaware Trial Lawyers

It is beneficial to find a personal injury lawyer who is experienced in trying cases. Most personal injury lawyers aim to settle cases quickly and seldom go to trial. While a fair settlement is preferred over the uncertainty of a jury verdict, we know that insurance companies make smaller offers when they know the opposing lawyers are inexperienced or unwilling to try cases in court.

The Delaware and Maryland Trial Attorneys at Shelby & Leoni have extensive experience litigating cases from both the defense and plaintiff’s perspective. They routinely fight on their clients behalf to obtain very favorable settlements and verdicts above and beyond what the liable parties insurance carrier initially offered.

Obtaining a satisfactory outcome in a personal injury case requires attorneys who understand how to negotiate with insurance companies. It also requires attorneys who are willing to try cases. We are experienced at both.
