Timothy E. Lengkeek

Tim is a highly regarded trial lawyer who has dedicated his entire career to trying cases before Delaware juries. He is a past-president of both the Delaware Trial Lawyers Association and the Delaware chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates and has achieved the highest possible peer review rating, AV Preeminent, by Martindale-Hubbell, the nations premier legal directory. Since 2012, he has been listed in Best Lawyers in America and been named by his peers as a Super Lawyer by Philadelphia magazine and Top Lawyer by Delaware Today magazine. When a lawyer has a reputation for going to trial, opponents take notice. With dozens and dozens of medical negligence and personal injury matters tried to verdict, Tim has earned exactly that reputation. Lawyers for the insurance companies he faces regularly know to proceed with caution. Tim believes, with good reason, that insurance companies will not settle a case for fair value unless a jury trial is a credible threat. He makes it a point, therefore, to try as many cases as possible, and assumes that every case he takes on will be headed for a courtroom. Over the course of his career, Tim has resolved close to fifty cases for $1,000,000.00 or more through verdict and settlement, including the following multi-million dollar results: $14,000,000.00-to a patient who was paralyzed due to a delay in diagnosing a post-operative complication $10,000,000.00-to a three-year-old who suffered a skull fracture after the minivan she was occupying was rear-ended by a tractor-trailer $6,000,000.00 -to a teenager whose mother was-killed by a drunk driver $5,000,000.00-to a mother who lost her unborn child following a delay in delivery $5,000,000.00 -to the family of college student who was killed in an accident on campus $4,500,000.00-to children whose parents were killed after being rear-ended by a tractor-trailer $3,500,000.00 -to a patient who was paralyzed due to a delay in diagnosing a spinal abscess $3,500,000.00 -to a family whose wife and mother was run over by a commercial motor vehicle in a parking lot $3,000,000.00 -to a doctor who suffered significant orthopedic injuries after being struck head-on by a commercial motor vehicle $3,000,000.00 -to a teenager injured in a collision with a tractor-trailer Taking great pains to earn the trust and confidence of clients who have had their lives upended by injury or death, Tim is determined to outwork his opponents at every stage. He is known for his attention to detail, for recruiting the best expert witnesses, and for his ability to see every fact as if through the eyes of a juror. Tim represents people throughout the State of Delaware. Despite many seven figure awards, Tim does not shy away from smaller cases or those against formidable opponents. For cases outside Delaware, including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Maryland, he works with local attorneys in each state as applicable. Given his significant jury trial experience, Tim is often asked to participate in jury trial cases pending in the Delaware Superior Courts Complex Civil Litigation Division (CCLD). His work on CCLD matters have included claims for fraud, defamation, breach of contract and insurance coverage claims.
