Schuster Jachetti LLP maintains a Delaware personal injury office in Smyrna to serve clients throughout Kent County and the surrounding central Delaware region. From the Smyrna location, attorney Joseph M. Jachetti represents people who have been injured on Route 1, Route 13, Route 6, Route 8, and the local roads connecting Smyrna, Camden, Dover, and Harrington. Joe was born and raised in Delaware, attended Widener University School of Law, and has been a member of the Delaware Bar since 1998 (Delaware Bar #003744).
Smyrna sits at a crossroads of central Delaware, just off Route 1 and Route 13, making it a convenient meeting location for clients living anywhere from southern New Castle County down through Kent County. The town has grown significantly over the last two decades, and with that growth has come more traffic on local roads — and more collisions involving local residents, commuters using Route 1 to travel between New Castle County and the beaches, and commercial vehicles moving north and south through the state.
If you were hurt in or around Smyrna, you can reach the office at (302) 775-0728 or the sitewide number at (302) 984-1000. Initial consultations are free, confidential, and carry no obligation. The firm works on a contingency fee — there is no fee unless you recover compensation.

Central Delaware Communities We Serve
From the Smyrna office, the firm represents clients across Kent County and into the southern reach of New Castle County. Communities served include:
Smyrna
The town of Smyrna sits at the boundary of New Castle and Kent counties along Route 13 and just east of Route 1. Smyrna’s growth over the last two decades — including residential development around Lake Como, Big Oak, and the Sunnyside area — has brought more traffic to local roads. Joseph M. Jachetti represents clients injured in collisions on Route 1, Route 13, Smyrna-Leipsic Road, South Main Street, North DuPont Boulevard, and the residential streets throughout town.
Camden
Just south of Dover along Route 13, Camden is part of the central Delaware corridor. The Smyrna office regularly handles matters arising from accidents in Camden, Camden-Wyoming, and the surrounding Kent County communities. If your collision occurred on Route 13, Route 10, or one of the connecting local roads, the firm can help.
Harrington
Harrington sits in southern Kent County along Route 13, and is also home to the Delaware State Fairgrounds and Harrington Raceway. The firm represents clients injured in Harrington and the surrounding rural communities, including incidents on Route 13, Route 14, and the back roads connecting Harrington to Felton, Greenwood, and Milford.
Other Kent County communities served from the Smyrna office include Dover, Felton, Magnolia, Wyoming, Cheswold, Clayton, Townsend, and Leipsic. If your collision occurred on Route 1, Route 13, Route 8, Route 10, or any of the local roads connecting these communities, the Smyrna office is positioned to help.
Common Collision Locations in the Smyrna Area
The geography of central Delaware concentrates traffic on a handful of corridors, and the same intersections and stretches of road see incident after incident. Locations the firm regularly hears about include:
- Route 1 / Route 13 split — high-speed merging traffic and frequent rear-end collisions
- Route 13 (DuPont Highway) intersections through Smyrna and Clayton
- Smyrna-Leipsic Road — a connector to coastal Kent County
- Route 6 between Smyrna and Woodland Beach
- Route 8 heading west to Marydel and the Maryland line
- Route 10 through Camden and Wyoming
Each location presents its own evidentiary considerations — speed, sight lines, signal timing, and the availability of nearby commercial surveillance footage. The firm investigates each case based on its specific facts.
