Delaware Lawyers Fighting for Injured People

Sometimes events and accidents beyond your control leave you or a loved one with serious injuries. When they do, the road to recovery can be difficult. As experienced trial attorneys fighting for injured people, the lawyers at the Delaware law firm of Weik, Nitsche, Dougherty & Componovo know what it means when our clients sustain a life changing personal injury. By being tough and taking forceful legal action, we help you get compensation for damages caused by another’s negligence.

Whether you or a loved one has been involved in a truck, motorcycle, or car accident, suffered a construction injury or has been the victim of nursing home neglect, we fight hard to make sure that you get the compensation you deserve.

Attorneys Who Keep the Courtroom in Mind

At Weik, Nitsche, Dougherty & Componovo, we always consider the courtroom when we take a case. Our attorneys spend a great deal of time in court, so they know the best strategies to effectively present cases to judges and juries. When you become our client, we strive to build the strongest case possible. We collaborate with seasoned experts, conduct in-depth investigations and use diagnostic tests to gain every advantage by fully understanding the evidence.

This approach has brought us a great deal of success, and we have been recognized consistently for our achievements in the courtroom and beyond. Attorney Gary Nitsche was nominated as a 2007 Super Lawyer by Philadelphia Magazine in the areas of personal injury and workers' compensation. He was also recognized as one of 2004’s Best Lawyers in Delaware and is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, a prestigious group of lawyers who have won verdicts and settlements in excess of a million dollars. Attorneys Joseph Weik and Shawn Dougherty have been selected as “top lawyers” by Delaware Today Magazine, and Ms. Dougherty was recognized in 2007 for her family law practice by the publication “The Best Lawyers in America.” Chris Componovo currently serves as president of the Delaware Trial Lawyers Association, a position that Mr. Nitsche and Mr. Weik both formerly held. In addition to these honors, our firm is AV®-rated* under Martindale-Hubbell’s peer review rating system.
