Car Accident Damages We Can Pursue
There are two broad categories of compensation that we can ask for on your behalf following a car accident: economic and non-economic.
Non-economic damages encompass the physical and emotional distress caused by the accident. For example:
- Your physical injuries plus the psychological trauma of surviving such an event could entitle you to pain and suffering.
- If you can no longer perform certain tasks as easily as you did before—such as socializing with friends or performing household chores—you could qualify for compensation based on reduced quality of life.
- When your close relationships suffer due to your injuries, this is called loss of consortium.
Economic damages compensate your family for the financial losses and struggles they have had to endure because of the accident. You could receive reimbursement for the following and more:
- Your car was damaged badly enough that you took it to get repaired or that you had to buy a new one. If you rented a car or used public transport while waiting for your own car to be fixed, you can seek compensation for that cost as well.
- Your injuries may have kept you from earning your usual wage, or they may prevent you from rising as far in your career as you expected.
- You need medical care to survive the injury and/or to improve your quality of life. This could include costs for various medical expenses, such as medication, hospitalization, therapy, and surgery, among other treatments.
Most personal injury survivors qualify for a combination of economic and non-economic damages. However, every case is different and should be treated as such: our Delaware car accident lawyer can assess your situation to determine the kinds and amounts of compensation you deserve.

Our Car Accident Lawyer Provides Specialized Services
You have two years to start a personal injury case, as codified in Del. Code tit. 10 § 8119. We encourage anyone who thinks they might have a case to get in touch with us immediately so we have the maximum amount of time to:
- Evaluate your case and come up with a plan specifically suited to your circumstances
- Collect evidence to strengthen your case as much as possible
- File your case with the court well within the deadline so there is no question about your having complied with state law
Filing your case is only the first step in a long, potentially stressful process. MD Accident Law wants you to know that you do not have to navigate the legal system by yourself. You can put your case in our hands and allow us to protect you by:
- Investigating the car accident: We can gather all of the evidence needed to build up your case file, including statements from witnesses, expert testimony, and police reports.
- Analyzing the evidence: Who are the liable parties in your case, and how did their negligence contribute to your injuries? How much money is your case worth? Our team can figure all of that out for you.
- Communicating with all parties: This might involve keeping you updated on the case’s progress, responding to the insurer’s settlement offers, or even submitting paperwork to the judge who will preside over the trial.
- Fighting for compensation: When possible, we meet with the insurance company and negotiate ruthlessly for a fair settlement. When necessary, we take a case all the way to the courtroom.
Even as we pursue a case, we do not forget that the client’s needs and comfort are more important than anything else. Adam M. Smallow prioritizes you by:
- Helping you get medical care: Still struggling to get the medical care you need? Let us recommend a doctor. We only recommend the very best professionals—the kinds of people we would have our own families go to if they needed help.
- Charging a contingency fee: This means our success is dependent on yours. If we cannot get any money for you, then we charge you no attorney’s fees, ever.
- Giving you 24/7 access to our team: Each client gets a unique phone number that they can text to reach us, day or night. Someone from our firm is always available to help you.
We welcome comments and questions from our clients. If there is ever anything we can do to make your legal experience easier, do not hesitate to ask.
