Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Delaware?
Delaware’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury. Claims against the state or local governments require notice within one year. Missing either deadline usually bars the case permanently.
Does Delaware have no-fault auto insurance?
Yes, Delaware requires Personal Injury Protection coverage that pays medical and lost wage benefits regardless of fault. You can still pursue a liability claim against the at-fault driver for damages beyond PIP limits. This makes prompt medical documentation especially important.
Where are New Castle County injury cases heard?
Civil injury cases in Wilmington are filed at the New Castle County Superior Court at 500 N King Street. Larger claims are heard there, while smaller cases may go to the Court of Common Pleas. Jury trials for injury cases typically take place in Superior Court.
