Andrea M. Sasso

Trial Attorney

Andrea is an energetic trial attorney who advocates for her clients as if they were family.  

At Stampone O’Brien Dilsheimer Law, Andrea’s practice focuses on complex personal injury litigation where she represents victims of catastrophic injuries or the families of those affected by the wrongful death of a loved one. 

With over a decade of experience handling personal injury claims for both Plaintiffs and Defendants, Andrea’s practice has been described as passionate, tenacious, tireless, or as a former client describes her, “a complete sweetheart and a bulldog all wrapped up into one.” 

Andrea concentrates her practice on major catastrophic injury litigation focusing on cases involving wrongful death, traumatic brain injuries and other serious conditions resulting from medical malpractice, sexual assault, FELA, trucking, products, motor vehicle and premises liability.  She has a wide range of experience litigating cases involving Liquor Liability, Dram Shop, Social Host Liability, and Negligent Security against entities such as bars, fraternities, casinos, and hotels.

Andrea and firm partner Kevin O’Brien obtained a $5.1 million verdict in June 2023, from a Philadelphia jury in a case involving a pedestrian hit by a motor vehicle. This claim was turned down by several well-respected Philadelphia law firms who missed theories of liability that Andrea uncovered while interviewing our client and investigating the matter.

In the last year alone, Andrea has tried multiple cases to verdict and obtained several other notable recoveries including: 

• $5.1 Million Jury Verdict- Motor Vehicle Collision
• $600,000.00 Premises Liability
• $475,000.00 Premises Liability
• $360,000.00 Premises Liability
• $375,000.00 Motor Vehicle Collision 
• $355,000.00 Premises Liability
• $350,000.00 Motor Vehicle Collision 
• $180,000.00 Premises Liability
• $172,250.00 Motor Vehicle Collision 
• $147,000.00 FELA 
• $125,000.00 Settlement-Motor Vehicle Collision 

(Additional 7-figure results have been obtained for Andrea’s clients and are subject to confidentiality agreements that cannot be disclosed).

As an alumna of the Delaware Law School (formerly Widener Law) Andrea gives back to the school volunteering as a member of the alumni board.
