Why Georgetown matters for every Sussex County case

Georgetown has been the county seat of Sussex County since 1791. Its courthouse on The Circle holds both the Superior Court and the Court of Common Pleas, so if an injury lawsuit from anywhere in Sussex County is filed, from Seaford to the beach towns, it is usually heard in Georgetown. For Georgetown residents, the court is close to home.

Where US-113, US-9 and Route 404 meet

Georgetown is a crossroads. US-113 passes north to south through town, US-9 crosses it on the way between Laurel and the Lewes ferry, and Delaware Routes 18 and 404 carry traffic west toward Bridgeville and Maryland. Summer beach traffic from the west funnels through these roads toward the coast, and trucks use them year-round.

When crossroads traffic mixes with local driving, intersection crashes, left-turn collisions and truck crashes become common claim types. Troop 4 of the Delaware State Police works out of Georgetown and takes many state-route crashes nearby; town streets belong to the Georgetown Police Department.

Hospitals serving the Georgetown area

Georgetown does not have its own hospital. People hurt nearby are commonly treated at TidalHealth Nanticoke in Seaford, Beebe Healthcare in Lewes, or Bayhealth's Sussex Campus in Milford. Your records may come from more than one of them if you were transferred, so tell us every place you received care.

Help in Spanish

Our paralegals Humberto Buitrago, Isaac Durango Figueroa and Santiago Araujo all speak Spanish. They can explain the claim process, collect documents and keep you updated in Spanish, working with attorney Aman Sharma, Esq. Workers hurt on the job can ask about Delaware workers' compensation.

Intersection and truck crashes on these routes are covered on our car accident claims and truck accident claims pages.
