At the law firm of Shelsby & Leoni in Wilmington, Delaware, our attorneys offer a free initial consultation to help you understand your right of recovery if you or a family member has suffered a serious injury in a car accident. Extensive Experience with PIP Claims
Maryland offers up to $2,500 and Delaware offers up to $100,000 in PIP benefits for medical expenses in an auto accident, regardless of fault. This coverage is in addition to any compensation you can obtain from the at-fault driver and does not have to be reimbursed if you obtain a personal injury settlement. Our lawyers have extensive experience litigating PIP claims in both Maryland and Delaware to help our clients recover all of the money they deserve. In cases involving serious injury, our lawyers can put you in the best position based on the facts of your case to obtain enough compensation to cover your damages, including:
If the at-fault driver doesn't have enough insurance to pay your bills, our lawyers will look for other sources of compensation, such as your own uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. Most drivers in Delaware and Maryland have UM/UIM coverage. However, few people understand their rights under this coverage. For example, all other possible insurance coverage must be exhausted before you file an underinsured motorist claim. However, most people don't even know what other possible sources of coverage may exist. Our lawyers understand how auto insurance works and can make sure that you qualify for all of the coverage you are entitled to. Delaware recognizes first-party bad faith against insurance companies. This means that if your insurance company does not deal with you fairly on PIP or UM/UIM claims, your lawyer can sue them for the full amount they should have paid, plus punitive damages for acting in bad faith.
