Governor Printz Boulevard and the I-495 interchange

Edgemoor sits along the Delaware River north of Wilmington and is unincorporated. US-13, Governor Printz Boulevard, is its main road, and Delaware Route 3, Edgemoor Road, runs inland from the river. Both meet Interstate 495 at Exit 4, in an industrial area along the waterfront.

That mix of commuter traffic, interstate ramps and commercial vehicles shapes the kinds of crashes that happen near Edgemoor: merge and ramp collisions at the I-495 interchange, truck crashes on Governor Printz Boulevard, and turning crashes at business driveways. Commercial vehicle cases often involve a company's insurer and driving logs, so it helps to act before records are overwritten. Details: truck accident claims.

Hurt at work in Edgemoor

Industrial work along the river carries real injury risk. If you were hurt on the job, Delaware workers' compensation can cover medical treatment and part of your lost wages, usually without proving anyone was at fault. When someone other than your employer caused the injury, such as a contractor, a delivery driver or an equipment maker, you may also have a separate injury claim against them. Our workers' compensation page explains the difference. Workers' compensation cases are handled on a contingency fee basis.

Police, hospitals and Superior Court for Edgemoor
