Pillar 2: Workplace Rights

Delaware Workers’ Compensation Lawyers

Under Delaware law, workers injured on the job are entitled to comprehensive statutory benefits without needing to prove employer negligence. However, employers and workers' compensation insurance carriers routinely deny legitimate claims, undervalue wage replacement, or force injured employees back to work prematurely.

Ciconte Wasserman LLC advocates aggressively before the Delaware Industrial Accident Board (IAB) to guarantee your statutory rights are fully enforced.

Four Core Statutory Benefits We Pursue:

100% Medical Expense Coverage (19 Del. C. § 2322): All reasonable and necessary surgeries, physical therapies, hospitalizations, and prescriptions must be paid entirely by the insurer with zero client copays.
Temporary Total & Partial Disability (TTD/TPD): Tax-free wage loss benefits replacing 66.67% of your average weekly wage while your authorized physician keeps you out of work or on restricted duty.
Permanent Impairment Awards (19 Del. C. § 2326): Lump-sum monetary compensation for permanent loss of bodily function (spine, limbs, shoulders, knees) calculated after reaching Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI).
Disfigurement Benefits: Statutory compensation for visible scars, burns, limp development, or surgical incisions resulting from work-related injuries.

Pillar 3: Holding Insurers Accountable

Bad Faith Insurance Litigation

You pay insurance premiums faithfully month after month with the expectation of protection when disaster strikes. Yet when a serious catastrophe occurs—such as condominium flooding, structural fire, major auto collision, or disability—insurance companies often prioritize their profit margins over their fiduciary duties.

In Delaware, insurance companies owe a strict legal covenant of good faith and fair dealing to policyholders under established standards (*Clausen v. National Grange Mutual Insurance Co.*). When an insurer acts unreasonably, Ciconte Wasserman LLC files formal bad faith lawsuits.

Signs of Actionable Bad Faith:

Unreasonable Claim Delays: Failing to promptly acknowledge, investigate, or process claims within statutory timetables.
Inadequate Investigation: Denying claims without conducting a fair, thorough inspection or relying on biased 'independent' contractor estimates.
Lowball Settlement Offers: Offering settlements dramatically lower than documented objective repair or medical losses.
Failure to Settle Within Limits: Exposing a policyholder to excess personal liability by refusing reasonable settlement demands within policy limits.

Pillar 4: Protecting Workers

Wilmington Employment Law Advocates

While Delaware is an "at-will" employment state, employers are strictly prohibited by federal and state statutes from firing, demoting, or harassing employees based on protected characteristics or in retaliation for lawful actions.

Ciconte Wasserman LLC represents employees across Delaware Department of Labor (DDOL), EEOC proceedings, and state and federal court trials.

Workplace Claims We Litigate:

Workplace Discrimination: Violations of Title VII, ADA, ADEA, and the Delaware Discrimination in Employment Act based on race, sex, age, disability, pregnancy, sexual orientation, or religion.
Unlawful Retaliation: Retaliatory termination, demotion, or discipline after filing a workers' comp claim, safety complaint, or reporting discrimination.
Delaware Whistleblowers' Protection Act: Protecting employees who report illegal corporate practices, financial crimes, or environmental/health hazards.
FMLA & Medical Leave Violations: Defending your right to take up to 12 weeks of job-protected medical leave without employer interference or punitive termination.
Sexual Harassment: Quid pro quo harassment and hostile work environment litigation holding corporations accountable.

With over 50 years of trial practice pioneered by Edward T. Ciconte and Adam F. Wasserman, our firm represents commercial enterprises, financial institutions, contractors, medical practices, and judgment creditors seeking full financial recovery.

Securing a court judgment is only the first hurdle. Converting a paper judgment into collected cash requires rigorous post-judgment enforcement mechanisms across Delaware courts.

Enforcement Capabilities:

Post-Judgment Bank Account Attachments: Freezing and recovering judgment funds directly from debtor financial institutions.
Wage Garnishments & Sheriff's Levies: Executing on debtor personal and real property to satisfy judgments with statutory post-judgment interest.
Domestication of Sister-State Judgments: Domesticating out-of-state judgments (PA, NJ, NY, MD) in Delaware for immediate local collection.
Contract & Promissory Note Litigation: Litigating under Delaware's 3-year contract statute of limitations (10 Del. C. § 8106) with strict FDCPA compliance.
