Delaware Lawyers Fighting for the Best Possible Results

At Weik, Nitsche, Dougherty & Componovo, we help the victims of personal injury by fighting hard for them in Delaware courtrooms. No matter how serious the injury, we have the skill and experience to handle any case successfully. Over the years, our courtroom battles have yielded great results, like million-dollar settlements and jury awards to help our clients move forward with their lives.

Personal Injury

We handle a wide range of personal injury matters, depending on the needs and goals of our injured clients and their families:

  • Car accidents: When you have been involved in a collision, we can help you get the compensation you deserve from insurance companies.
  • Workers’ compensation claims: When you have been injured at work, we can help you take action through the workers’ compensation system.
  • Construction injuries: Our experienced attorneys also help victims of construction injures like those caused by faulty machinery, roof falls and falling objects.
  • Wrongful death suits: When your family has lost a loved on due to the negligence of another, talk to our personal injury attorneys about your options.
  • Truck accidents: Truck accidents are frequently devastating. At Weik, Nitsche, Dougherty & Componovo, we know the tricks that trucking companies and their insurers use to keep you from recovering compensation, and we fight hard to get you the best possible results.
  • Motorcycle accidents: People often just do not see motorcycles. When you have been injured while riding on your motorcycle, we can help you get the compensation you deserve.
  • Slip-and-fall injuries: We fight hard for injured slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall victims.
  • Nursing home negligence: Nursing home abuse and neglect can be especially hard on the family that entrusted their loved one to the care of a facility. We fight back.
  • Product liability claims: When you have been injured by a dangerous or defective product, we take companies to court.
  • Toxic torts: We fight for victims of exposure to toxic substances, including mold and benzene.

Family Law

Attorney Shawn Dougherty also handles family law matters on behalf of individuals, couples and Delaware families. He handles matters such as divorce, child custody and visitation, child support, paternity and adoption.
