The Sharma Law Firm expands pedestrian accident practice at Wilmington DE office
The Delaware personal injury firm said it is adding resources to its pedestrian accident practice, citing the state's per capita crash rate.
The Sharma Law Firm has announced an expansion of its pedestrian accident legal services in Delaware, adding capacity to a practice area that many personal injury firms fold into general motor vehicle work.
The firm, which operates from 1007 N Orange St, 4th Floor, Wilmington, DE 19801, said the move is a response to the number of pedestrian-related incidents across the state. According to the announcement, recent data shows Delaware continues to have one of the higher rates of pedestrian accidents per capita in the country, with contributing factors including distracted driving, impaired walking, speeding and failure to yield at crosswalks, and conditions such as low lighting and limited sidewalks.
"Pedestrian safety remains a serious issue in Delaware, and each case requires a focused understanding of both traffic law and injury law. Our expansion allows the firm to dedicate additional resources to help ensure that those impacted by pedestrian accidents have access to comprehensive legal representation," said Aman Sharma, Founder and Principal Pedestrian Accident Attorney, The Sharma Law Firm.
The practice covers collisions at intersections, parking areas, residential zones and other public spaces, with case work built around evidence collection, accident reconstruction and legal analysis. The firm noted that liability in these matters can involve drivers, municipalities and insurers, which it said makes early consultation and familiarity with traffic statutes, local ordinances and evidentiary procedures important to case evaluation.
The Sharma Law Firm handles personal injury matters including motor vehicle accidents, premises liability and wrongful death cases for clients throughout Delaware. Its Wilmington office offers consultations by appointment and says it is directly accessible to residents in New Castle County and surrounding areas.
The firm said the added capacity lets it take on a higher volume of pedestrian cases while keeping detailed case management, and that it continues to take part in outreach on pedestrian rights and responsibilities.
