Linda L. Wilson

As a shareholder in the Workers’ Compensation Department, Linda devotes her entire practice to representing employers in workers’ compensation and unemployment matters. She also assists clients in handling matters pertaining to Medicare set-asides. Whether counseling clients, negotiating settlements or trying cases, Linda always seeks to minimize the client’s exposure/expenditures. 

Linda’s extensive litigation experience began at the Delaware Department of Justice, where she prosecuted both criminal and civil matters. As a deputy attorney general, she represented various state agencies, including the Delaware Industrial Accident Board (IAB). Linda left the Department of Justice to become a workers’ compensation hearing officer. Following her appointment to that position by the Delaware Secretary of Labor, Linda provided legal counsel to the IAB, wrote its decisions and, upon stipulation of the parties, sat in place of the IAB, hearing and deciding matters. That experience gave Linda the invaluable perspective of the tribunal, which is helpful in her current practice.

Today, Linda actively appears before the IAB on behalf of employers in a variety of matters. Her experience extends to practice before the Delaware Superior and Supreme courts with regard to workers compensation appeals. Linda also appears before Delaware Unemployment Insurance Referees and the Delaware Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board. 

Linda received her B.S. in Economics from the University of Delaware and her juris doctor from Widener University School of Law, where she was a member of the Phi Delta Phi Honor Society. In her free time, Linda enjoys watching lacrosse and gardening.
