Why Shelsby & Leoni, P.A.?

There is no amount of money that can compensate you for a serious, life changing injury, having your child suffer an injury or enduring the wrongful death of a family member due to an automobile accident, child sex abuse, workplace accident or medical malpractice. Nevertheless, at Shelsby & Leoni we try to make you as whole as possible financially so you can move on with your life. Prior to representing victims of automobile accidents, trucking accidents, medical malpractice and premises liability accidents we practiced insurance defense law for a number of years. As a direct result or our insurance defense experience, Delaware medical malpractice lawyers 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.

If you, or a loved one, has suffered an injury of any sort due to the negligence of another please do not hesitate to contact our accident, injury and medical malpractice lawyers. 

Skilled Delaware & Maryland Injury 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.
