Introduction
With seven office locations spread across Delaware from Wilmington to Lewes, The Sharma Law Firm has built what amounts to a statewide network of access points for injured workers and accident victims, a geographic footprint unusual for a state Delaware’s size but deliberately constructed to ensure that distance is not a barrier to representation. Lead attorney Aman K. Sharma has focused the firm on serious injury and wrongful death cases for more than a decade, and the firm’s record in Delaware includes millions recovered for victims of negligence.
The primary office is at 1007 N Orange St, 4th Floor, Wilmington, DE 19801, reachable at 302-781-3077. Additional offices are located in Dover, Bear, Middletown, Milford, Seaford, and Lewes. A 24/7 injury helpline is available, and the firm meets clients anywhere in Delaware when needed. Consultations are free, and the firm operates on a contingency fee basis with no fees unless they win. The website is amansharmalaw.com.
Practice Areas
Workers’ Compensation: Delaware workers injured on the job are entitled to medical treatment and wage replacement benefits. Workers’ compensation claims require careful attention to reporting deadlines, documentation of the work-related injury, and, when claims are disputed, advocacy before the Industrial Accident Board. The firm handles these matters for injured workers across Delaware.
Car Accidents: Motor vehicle accidents produce a wide range of injuries, from soft-tissue damage that resolves in weeks to permanent disability requiring lifelong medical care. The firm evaluates the full scope of a client’s injuries and pursues compensation accordingly.
Truck and Commercial Vehicle Accidents: Trucking accident cases at The Sharma Law Firm involve specific investigative steps: securing electronic logging device data, obtaining maintenance records, and acquiring black box information that can establish the driver’s speed, braking behavior, and hours behind the wheel. Federal regulations impose specific obligations on commercial drivers and their employers, including requirements about hours of service, vehicle maintenance, and driver qualifications. Violations of those regulations bear directly on liability analysis.
Motorcycle Accidents: Delaware’s Modified Comparative Fault Rule affects motorcycle accident cases by potentially reducing compensation when the injured rider bears partial responsibility for the accident. Delaware requires minimum liability coverage of $25,000 per person for vehicle operators, which sets a floor for available insurance recovery. Understanding how comparative fault is calculated and how to minimize its impact on the client’s recovery requires specific knowledge of Delaware motorcycle accident law. The firm navigates these complexities for injured riders.
Pedestrian Accidents: Pedestrians struck by motor vehicles sustain some of the most serious injuries in the personal injury context, given the complete absence of any protective barrier between the person and the vehicle. The firm handles pedestrian accident cases with attention to the severity of these injuries and the long-term consequences for the client.
Bicycle Accidents: Cyclists injured by motor vehicle operators face similar vulnerability to pedestrians. Bicycle accident cases involve analysis of traffic laws governing both cyclists and motorists, and the firm builds these cases with attention to the specifics of bicycle safety law.
Dog Bite Accidents: Delaware dog bite law governs owner liability for injuries caused by their animals. The firm handles these cases for individuals who sustain significant injuries from dog attacks.
Slip and Fall: Premises liability cases arising from slip and fall incidents require documentation of the dangerous condition, evidence of the property owner’s knowledge, and a clear causal link to the client’s injuries.
Medical Malpractice: Medical negligence cases require expert witnesses who can establish the applicable standard of care, describe how that standard was breached, and connect the breach to the patient’s harm. The firm handles these complex cases for Delaware clients.
Sexual Abuse and Assault: The firm handles civil claims arising from sexual abuse and assault, representing survivors seeking civil accountability and compensation from responsible parties.
Wrongful Death: Delaware’s wrongful death statute provides a two-year statute of limitations and specifies which family members are entitled to bring claims. The firm explains these requirements to families navigating the aftermath of a fatal accident and pursues compensation for their losses.
Attorney Profiles
Aman K. Sharma, Esq. is the lead attorney and has more than 10 years of experience in personal injury and wrongful death cases. His focus on serious injury matters reflects a practice oriented toward cases where the stakes are highest and the legal complexity is greatest.
Santiago Araujo serves as an attorney at the firm, contributing to its practice capacity across Delaware.
Augusto Ceschini is an attorney at the firm, adding additional depth to the legal team.
Paul Lobo rounds out the firm’s attorney roster, supporting the firm’s multi-office presence across the state.
The firm’s multicultural team speaks multiple languages, enabling effective communication with Delaware’s diverse client population. Delaware’s location in the mid-Atlantic corridor and proximity to major immigrant communities in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York means its population includes significant numbers of people more comfortable in languages other than English. The firm’s multilingual capability ensures those clients receive fully informed representation.
Location and Service Area
The Sharma Law Firm’s seven offices cover Delaware’s geography from north to south:
Primary: 1007 N Orange St, 4th Floor, Wilmington, DE 19801 (302-781-3077)
Dover: 1326 S Governors Ave #101
Bear: 757 Pulaski Hwy #5
Middletown: 735 Mapleton Ave #203a
Milford: 686 N Dupont Blvd #100
Seaford: 608 N Porter St #A
Lewes: 19413 Jingle Shell Way Unit 2B
Wilmington anchors the firm’s northern practice, serving New Castle County and the Wilmington metropolitan area. Dover, as the state capital, is a significant legal center in its own right. Bear and Middletown serve the rapidly growing suburban areas south of Wilmington. Milford, Seaford, and Lewes provide access in Sussex County and along the Delaware coast.
The firm also meets clients anywhere in Delaware when office visits are not practical. For clients recovering from serious injuries, the ability to have an attorney come to a hospital, rehabilitation facility, or home is a meaningful accommodation.
Client Focus
The Sharma Law Firm serves individuals and families dealing with the consequences of serious accidents and negligence. The 24/7 injury helpline reflects an understanding that the period immediately following an accident is critical: evidence can disappear, insurance adjusters may make contact, and injured people need guidance before they make statements or decisions that could affect their case.
The firm’s statewide office network combined with its willingness to meet clients anywhere in Delaware removes the geographic barriers that might otherwise prevent seriously injured people from accessing legal counsel. A client who cannot drive due to injury, or who lives in a rural county far from Wilmington, can reach the firm through a nearby office or through an attorney who comes to them.
The contingency fee structure means no upfront cost to the client, and the firm earns its fee only when it recovers compensation. Free consultations allow injured people to understand their options before committing to representation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for wrongful death claims in Delaware?
Delaware law provides a two-year statute of limitations for wrongful death claims. The firm advises families dealing with a fatal accident to contact an attorney promptly, as the two-year window can close quickly and certain procedural steps must be taken within that period.
How does Delaware’s Modified Comparative Fault Rule affect motorcycle accident cases?
Delaware’s Modified Comparative Fault Rule allows an injured party to recover compensation even if they bear partial responsibility for the accident, provided their share of fault does not exceed a certain threshold. Compensation is reduced proportionally by the injured party’s percentage of fault. In motorcycle cases, where insurers sometimes argue that rider behavior contributed to the accident, understanding and minimizing the assigned fault percentage is a key part of the legal strategy.
What information does the firm secure in truck accident investigations?
The firm specifically obtains electronic logging device data, maintenance records, and black box information. ELD data establishes the driver’s hours of service and whether federal hours-of-service regulations were violated. Maintenance records show whether the vehicle was properly serviced. Black box data captures pre-crash speed, braking, and other operational parameters. This evidence is time-sensitive and can be overwritten or destroyed; securing it early is a priority.
Does the firm handle cases in Spanish or other languages?
The firm’s multicultural team speaks multiple languages. Clients who are more comfortable in Spanish or another language can inquire about available language support. The goal is to ensure all clients can communicate fully and clearly with their legal team.
Does the firm really meet clients anywhere in Delaware?
Yes. The firm’s 24/7 injury helpline is the starting point for all new matters. When office visits are not feasible, attorneys from the firm travel to meet clients at hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, or their homes across Delaware.
Closing
Statewide access, a team with multilingual capability, and specific technical expertise in the investigation of truck accidents and the application of Delaware’s comparative fault rules make The Sharma Law Firm a substantive resource for Delaware injury victims.
