Delaware injury and malpractice lawyers
We'll tell you straight.
Two questions come first: does this even count, and what happens if you call. You get straight answers to both before anything else, and before you owe anyone a thing.
Most people who call us are not sure they have a case at all. That is the normal place to start, and answering it honestly costs nothing, including when the answer is that you do not.
How we work
-
01 Plain answers, not sales pitches
The first thing you get is a straight answer as to whether your situation counts and what happens next; not a pitch, and not a callback from someone reading a script.
-
02 Direct access to the people handling your case
A firm small enough that you talk to the people actually working your case, rather than a call center that passes you along.
-
03 Depth without the hype
Decades of combined case experience, applied plainly. You should see it in how clearly we explain your options, not in a number on a banner.
- 01 Someone else's carelessness played a part. It does not have to be the only cause, and it does not have to be obvious yet.
- 02 You were hurt, including if you felt fine at the scene. Some injuries take time to emerge.
- 03 It happened recently enough. Delaware has filing deadlines, and they are shorter than most people expect. Call before you assume you have missed one.
The first question
Does this even count as a case?
It is the question almost everyone leads with, and it is the right one to ask first. It usually comes down to three things.
If all three sound like your situation, it is worth a conversation. If one of them clearly does not, we will say so on the phone rather than book you a meeting.
What it costs to ask
Nothing.
The first conversation is free and there is no obligation after it. If we take your case, our fee is a share of what we recover, agreed in writing before any work starts. If we recover nothing, you owe us no attorney fee.
What we handle
- Auto Accidents Car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and commercial vehicle collisions.
- Personal Injury Brain and spinal cord injuries, slip and fall, and serious injury claims.
- Medical Malpractice Misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose, and surgical error claims.
- Nursing Home Liability Abuse, neglect, and falls in Delaware care facilities.
- Wrongful Death Claims brought by families after a death caused by negligence.
- Insurance Bad Faith When an insurer refuses to pay what a policy actually owes.
- Sexual Abuse Civil claims for survivors of abuse, handled confidentially.
Most of what we handle happens on an ordinary road, on an ordinary evening, to someone who was not doing anything wrong.

Who you would work with
Murphy & Landon is a small firm on purpose.
Still not sure whether this counts? That is a good enough reason to call.
Free consultation. Nobody will pressure you to sign anything on a first call.
