Free consultations are always provided so that you may get an idea of if you have a strong case, and the amount of compensation you may expect to receive.

We work in the legal areas of bankruptcy and personal injury, including the following practice areas:

Bankruptcy

Financial problems can happen to anyone. Whether it’s from medical bills, excessive credit card debt, divorce or job loss, there are various circumstances where people may find themselves in financial trouble. Bankruptcy can be an effective legal tool that millions of individuals and businesses utilize to rid themselves of insurmountable debt. Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 bankruptcy can enable you to keep your home, vehicle and other personal property while you get back on your feet. Depending on the circumstances, other options such as debt consolidation or having a debt relief attorney negotiate with creditors on your behalf may be more appropriate. Our experienced bankruptcy lawyers help clients with all types of debt issues, including:

• Debt from divorce.
• Credit card debt.
• Repossessions.
• Mortgage foreclosures.
  

Motorcycle Accidents

Accidents involving a motorcycle and another vehicle are a major problem due to the number of vehicles on the road and high speeds being factors. Motorcycle riders have an even higher risk for injury, especially if they’re not wearing a helmet or protective gear. Motorcycle riders must deal with oblivious cars, dangerous road conditions and other hazards when trying to get from place to place. If an accident does occur, the motorcycle rider is then much more likely to become seriously injured or even die. At The Law Office of Steven J. Stirparo, our experienced lawyers fight for injured motorcyclists and hold the people who hurt them accountable.

Car Wrecks

If you have been injured in a car accident due to the negligence of others, you have the right to pursue compensation for your losses. The attorneys at The Law Office of Steven J. Stirparo, can handle all aspects of your personal injury claim. We will help you seek compensation for your medical bills, wage loss, pain and suffering, and other hardships. Our experienced car accident lawyers have the skill and experience to handle any type of car accident claim in and around New Castle, Delaware, including those arising from:

• 18-wheeler trucks.
• Delivery and other commercial trucks.
• Buses.
• Rideshare driver negligence.
• Distracted driving.
• Drunk drivers.
  

Slip Trip and Fall

Falls, either as a result of tripping, slipping or other reasons are some of the most common types of accidents causing injuries. When living in busy towns with many public areas such as stores, streets and sidewalks, one should always remain vigilant when walking around these spaces because they can experience slips and falls due to hazardous surfaces such as a broken sidewalk, icy or wet floors.

Slip and fall accidents can happen because of a property owner’s negligence in various locations, such as:

• Shopping malls.
• Restaurants.
• Parking garages.
• Government offices.
• Apartment buildings.
• Hotels.
• Sidewalks.
  

If you find yourself injured because of the negligence of others, there may be legal recourse to help with your injury and recovery costs. Cities and store owners must keep their public areas free of obstacles and hazards to provide a safe environment.

Dog Bites

If you’re bitten by a dog, be sure to contact a law firm who specializes in cases related to vicious animals. If your injuries are severe and require hospitalization, the owner of the dog may have liability for your medical bills. There may also be grounds for legal action against another person or entity because they were responsible for your injury through negligence, so it is best to get advice on what steps to take from a qualified dog bite lawyer in New Castle who has first-hand experience with this area’s unique legislation.

Medical Malpractice

When you seek medical help from your doctor, hospital or surgeon, you expect the best care and advice possible. Unfortunately, people in the medical profession sometimes make mistakes and patients may suffer as a result. In some situations, instead of admitting to making a mistake, a few medical professionals hide the information, which can make the injury or illness worse. If you or a loved one have been the victim of medical malpractice, you need a compassionate and committed personal injury lawyer who is experienced in this highly technical area of the law to help you win your case.
