Schuster Jachetti LLP maintains its primary Delaware personal injury office in Wilmington at 3407 Lancaster Pike, Wilmington, DE 19805. From this New Castle County location, attorney Joseph M. Jachetti represents injured Delawareans across the northern part of the state. The office sits along the Lancaster Pike corridor, easily reachable from Interstate 95, Route 141, and Route 41, making it convenient for clients traveling from anywhere in New Castle County. Wilmington is the largest city in Delaware and the seat of the New Castle County Superior Court, where most personal injury cases for the northern part of the state are filed and tried.
Joe Jachetti was born and raised in Delaware. He attended Widener University School of Law in Wilmington and has been a member of the Delaware Bar since December 10, 1998 (Delaware Bar #003744). Before he began representing injured people, he spent ten years working as an insurance claims adjuster — a perspective that informs how he prepares cases today. The Wilmington office serves as the firm’s anchor location and reflects more than two decades of work representing clients in car accident, premises liability, slip and fall, and other injury matters across the Wilmington metropolitan area.
What makes the Wilmington office local is not just its address. The lawyer who answers your call is the lawyer who grew up in this state, attended its law school, and has been practicing in its courthouses for over 25 years. Joe is admitted in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and the U.S. District Court of Delaware, which is meaningful for collisions that happen near state lines or involve out-of-state drivers — a regular occurrence on the I-95 corridor.
If you have been injured in or around Wilmington, the firm offers a free initial consultation. You can reach the Wilmington office directly at (302) 966-8684, or call the sitewide number at (302) 984-1000. There is no fee unless you recover compensation.
Personal Injury Cases Handled at Our Wilmington Office
Joseph M. Jachetti has experience handling a broad range of personal injury matters from the Wilmington office. New Castle County is the most heavily-trafficked part of the state, and the Wilmington area sees a high volume of motor-vehicle collisions, premises-liability incidents, and pedestrian and bicycle accidents each year. The firm represents clients in cases involving:
- Car accidents — collisions on I-95, I-495, Route 202, Route 141, Lancaster Pike, Concord Pike, and Wilmington’s surface streets
- Truck and commercial vehicle accidents — including tractor-trailer collisions on the I-95 corridor
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents in downtown Wilmington and surrounding neighborhoods
- Bicycle accidents
- Slip and fall and premises liability claims
- Dog bite injuries
- Wrongful death claims
- Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims
If you are unsure whether your situation is one the firm handles, call and ask. Initial consultations are free and confidential.
Each case is evaluated on its own facts. Some matters resolve in pre-suit negotiation with the at-fault party’s insurance carrier; others require the filing of a lawsuit in the New Castle County Superior Court or the Court of Common Pleas. The firm prepares each case as though it may need to be tried — that posture often produces a stronger result regardless of how the case eventually resolves.

Free Consultation — Call Our Wilmington Office
If you were injured in Wilmington or anywhere in New Castle County, you may be able to pursue compensation on your behalf for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses related to your injury. The first step is a free, confidential conversation about what happened.
Bring or have at hand whatever you can — the police report number, the names and insurers of any other parties involved, and a list of medical providers you have seen. None of these are required to make the first call, but they help. If you are still in active treatment, that is fine; cases are routinely opened while medical care is ongoing.
Call the Wilmington office directly at (302) 966-8684 or the sitewide number at (302) 984-1000. You can also email joe@jachettilaw.com. Hablamos Español.
Schuster Jachetti LLP works on a contingency fee — there is no fee unless you recover. Delaware has strict statutes of limitations on personal injury claims, and important evidence (witness memories, surveillance footage, vehicle damage) tends to disappear over time, so it is generally better to call sooner rather than later.
