Delaware Workplace Injury Lawyer

Delaware Work Injury Lawyer

At McCann, Dillon, Jaffe and Lamb, I see workers' compensation claims denied every single day by insurance companies that have no interest in doing the right thing.

What matters now

Protect your health and your rights.

In Delaware, all workplace injury claims go through the Industrial Accident Board. This board makes decisions as to what claims are proper, viable, and how much they are worth. You need an attorney who has experience going before this board to be able to retain all of the benefits available to you under the statutory workers' compensation framework laid out by the legislature. 

In Delaware, I regularly go to these hearings and I am familiar with the proper process and procedures necessary to maximize your recovery under this framework.

01

Report the injury

In Delaware, there are strict time limitations and requirements for how and when to report an injury. You should always document your injury and notify all supervisors as quickly as possible about the injury you sustained.

02

Get appropriate care

Getting appropriate medical care shortly after an accident will help document the extent of your injury and likely be a large factor should the insurance company deny your claim for any reason. 

03

You need a Delaware attorney

Only a Delaware attorney can represent your interest before the Industrial Accident Board, so make sure you contact me as soon as possible so that I can begin the process of establishing your case.

Cases may involve

The injuries I see every day.

How I help

One incident can be multiple cases.

Many times, work injuries can have a separate component against a company that does not employ the injured worker. Under Delaware law, an injured worker cannot sue its employer for being injured on the job, however, an injured worker can sue another entity that did not employ the injured worker for any negligence that the other entity displayed.  Many times, those secondary claims are overlooked or missed by attorneys who are not familiar with analyzing a Delaware workers' compensation claim. I actively seek those secondary claims out and turn over every stone in an attempt to establish those claims for my clients. 

A closer look

Clear answers at a difficult time.

Can I receive benefits if the accident was my fault?

Workers' compensation is a no-fault system. As long as you were on the clock and injured while working, then you are entitled to benefits under the Delaware framework.

What if my claim was denied?

A denial from an insurance company is not the end of the world. There are methods to go before the Industrial Accident Board to argue that your claim should be accepted by the insurance company because you were injured while working.

How long does this take?

Workers' compensation claims follow the same format as car accident claims, in that, the length of the medical treatment is critical to determining when a rightful recovery can be made on your behalf.
