How to choose a lawyer in Wilmington

Focus first on whether the lawyer actually handles personal injury cases rather than many unrelated areas. Ask about their trial record and how often they take cases to court. Get the contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and who pays costs. Confirm who will handle your case day to day, since it may not be the lawyer you meet first. Check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Compare a few before deciding, and trust clear answers over fast promises.

What to do after an accident in Wilmington

Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, and follow the treatment advice you receive. Document the scene with photos and notes while details are fresh. Gather names, insurance information, and contact details from anyone involved. Avoid admitting fault and decline recorded statements until you have advice. Keep every record, including bills, reports, and receipts. Ohio gives you 2 years from the date of injury to file, so do not let time slip while you recover.
