Delaware’s mild climate and scenic roads make it popular for motorcyclists, but unfortunately, it also means a high number of motorcycle accidents each year. Because riders lack the protections of a car, these crashes often result in devastating injuries or even wrongful death.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a Delaware motorcycle accident, even if you were partly at fault, the experienced attorneys at Shelsby & Leoni, P.A. are here to help.
Why You Need a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Motorcycle accident victims often face serious injuries and uphill battles with insurance companies. At Shelsby & Leoni, our attorneys are former insurance defense lawyers who know the strategies insurers use to minimize payouts. We use that insider knowledge to fight for the full and fair compensation you deserve.
We handle motorcycle accident cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no legal fees unless we win your case.
Delaware Motorcycle Accident Statistics
Like all states, Delaware sees disproportionately high injury and fatality rates among motorcyclists compared to car occupants. These accidents cost millions of dollars every year in:
- Emergency response and hospital bills
- Rehabilitation and long-term care
- Property damage
- Lost wages and lost earning capacity
- Reduced household productivity
- Insurance costs and legal expenses
When pain and suffering are factored in, the economic toll rises even higher. And for victims and their families, the personal cost is immeasurable.
Common Injuries in Delaware Motorcycle Accidents
Because motorcycles lack airbags, seat belts, and protective barriers, riders are especially vulnerable in a crash. Even low-speed accidents can cause life-changing injuries, including:
- Road rash and severe lacerations
- Traumatic brain injuries (even with a helmet)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Amputations and orthopedic injuries
- Wrongful death
