Arbitration Verdict - Delaware is Different

Trial Attorney Lisa M. Grubb received an Arbitration Verdict in the amount $75,000.00 on behalf of a 9 year old girl who struck her toe on a dangerous piece of pipe, which ultimately required 2 surgeries. Ms. Grubb successfully defended against Motions to Dismiss the claim, filed by the attorney for the defendant. The theory was that Delaware laws, designed to protect Homeowners, prevented this lawsuit. There were additional arguments that the child herself caused or contributed to her injuries, and that a "baby-sitter" should have been held responsible rather than the Homeowner.  Ms. Grubb overcame each new theory raised by the defendant, resulting in a Verdict more than DOUBLE the pre-trial "limit" of liability.

"DELAWARE IS DIFFERENT," having different laws and arguments available to insurance companies to deny and defend against Personal Injury lawsuits.  If you have been injured in the State of Delaware, you NEED an attorney who not only "knows" the law, but who is aggressive in fighting for the rights of injured victims, challenging the "establishment" and compassionate for the concerns and issues you may face during such a difficult time.
