Delaware accident rates, personal injury laws, stats, and legal funding.
Statute of limitations
To preserve the integrity of your case and also prevent prolonged threats of litigation, the state of Delaware has a statutory time limit within which a prospective plaintiff can file their claims and sue for damages.
This statutory time limits are known as Statute of Limitations, and they differ with the circumstances surrounding every case. Even if your attorney can build a strong case, it will be impossible to get legal redress if you exceed the time limit. So, it’s best to file your claims early.
Here is the different statute of limitations for cases in Delaware.
•Injury to person — 2 years
•Libel/slander — 2 years
•Medical malpractice — 2 years
The statute of limitations for contracts, Trespass, and collection of rents and debts is three (3) years. Judgment can take five (5) years.
Your attorney is in a better position to put you through this aspect of the law and ensure that you don’t miss this critical deadline.
Car accident pre-settlement loans in Delaware
Even though Delaware has low rates of traffic fatalities, there is still concern about traffic accidents. In 2017, the state recorded 51% and 49% of fatalities involving single vehicles and multiple vehicles.
Baker Street Funding offers low-rate lawsuit loans to car accident victims in Delaware. Injured plaintiffs can get 10% in pre-settlement loans and up 50% in post-settlement cash advances without delay.
It’s important to note that Delaware follows the fault system when deciding on a car accident case. This implies that the party responsible for the accident is legally responsible for paying damages to the victim with his or her policy limits.

Personal injury pre-settlement funding in Delaware
Delaware has a modified comparative negligence rule, which allows plaintiffs to claim damages for injuries where they are found to be responsible for less than 50% of the injury.
Also, there’s no limit as to how much plaintiffs can sue. You can sue for emotional and economic damages without limiting how much you can demand as compensation.
