Delaware Personal Injury Laws to Understand

  • Statute of limitations: Under 10 Del. C. § 8119, an action seeking damages for personal injuries generally must be brought within two years from the date the injuries were sustained. Different rules or exceptions may apply depending on the circumstances.
  • Modified comparative negligence: Under 10 Del. C. § 8132, an injured person's negligence does not automatically prevent recovery when their negligence is not greater than the negligence of the defendant or the combined negligence of the defendants from whom recovery is sought. Any damages awarded are reduced according to the injured person's percentage of fault.

This is general information, not legal advice. Delaware filing deadlines and liability rules can vary depending on the type of claim and individual circumstances. Confirm applicable requirements with a licensed Delaware attorney.
