Ross C. Karsnitz

Ross C. Karsnitz is a partner at Morris James who practices from the firm’s Delaware offices, including Dover. He focuses exclusively on personal injury matters and chairs the firm’s Workers’ Compensation Group. His practice includes motor vehicle, trucking, boating, and work-related accidents as well as catastrophic injury and wrongful death claims. He represents injured people and families in court and before administrative bodies, handling matters involving serious medical consequences, insurance issues, and disputed liability.

Karsnitz earned a J.D., cum laude, from Widener University Delaware Law School in 2010 and a B.A. from the University of Delaware in 2006. After law school, he clerked for Judge Jan R. Jurden of the Delaware Superior Court. His education and judicial experience provided a strong foundation in Delaware procedure, legal analysis, and courtroom practice.

Before focusing on plaintiff personal injury work, Karsnitz served with Delaware’s Office of Defense Services and represented clients in criminal matters in Family Court, the Court of Common Pleas, and Superior Court. He handled serious felony cases and gained extensive courtroom experience. He now applies that trial background to injury and workers’ compensation claims involving accidents, disability, medical treatment, and lost income.

Ross C. Karsnitz has received professional recognition for personal injury and workers’ compensation work. His practice combines trial experience, judicial-clerkship training, and familiarity with Delaware’s courts and administrative procedures. He helps injured clients understand benefits and civil claims, develop evidence, address insurer positions, and pursue compensation through negotiation, workers’ compensation proceedings, or litigation. This approach keeps the representation focused on the legal issues and practical client needs.
