Experienced Personal Injury Lawyers

Unfortunately, accidents happen. If you have been in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, we may be able to assist you. Here is what we recommend you do immediately after an accident:

• Call 911.
• If you are able, take pictures to document the accident scene.
• Seek medical attention.
• Don’t speak with the at-fault driver’s insurance company.
• Call an experienced personal injury attorney.

Even if you feel completely fine after an accident, you should still seek medical attention. Some injuries have delayed onsets, which makes them harder to catch when they first happen.

Before you call the insurance company, you should discuss the accident with a Wilmington Personal Injury Lawyer.
