Sharma Law Firm expands pedestrian accident services at Wilmington DE office

The Sharma Law Firm has expanded its pedestrian accident legal services in Delaware, the firm announced, pointing to what it described as a rising number of pedestrian-related incidents across the state.

The firm, which serves clients throughout Delaware, said the change gives it more capacity to represent people hurt in collisions between motor vehicles and pedestrians. Its practice in this area covers crashes at intersections, in parking areas, in residential zones and in other public spaces where people on foot face the most risk. The firm said its work in these cases centers on evidence collection, accident reconstruction and legal analysis meant to establish what happened.

"Pedestrian safety remains a serious issue in Delaware, and each case requires a focused understanding of both traffic law and injury law. Our expansion allows the firm to dedicate additional resources to help ensure that those impacted by pedestrian accidents have access to comprehensive legal representation," said Aman Sharma, Founder and Principal Pedestrian Accident Attorney, The Sharma Law Firm.

According to the firm, recent data shows Delaware continues to have one of the higher rates of pedestrian accidents per capita in the country. It listed distracted driving, impaired walking, speeding and failure to yield at crosswalks, and conditions such as low lighting, limited sidewalks and poor evening visibility as contributing factors.

The firm also urged people to seek legal advice early after a crash, noting that liability can involve drivers, municipalities and insurers, and that evaluating a claim requires familiarity with traffic statutes, local ordinances and evidence rules. It said the expansion lines up with statewide traffic safety work, including crosswalk visibility improvements and public education campaigns.

Along with pedestrian cases, The Sharma Law Firm handles motor vehicle accidents, premises liability and wrongful death matters. Its office at 1007 N Orange St, 4th Floor, Wilmington, DE 19801 offers consultations by appointment and can be reached at (302) 781-3077.
