Slip and fall lawyer Delaware: your deadline

The first thing a Delaware slip and fall lawyer checks is the clock. You have two years from the day you fell to file, under 10 Del. C. § 8119.

Talks with the owner's insurer do not stop that clock. Only a lawsuit filed in court does.

How Delaware splits the blame

Delaware lets you collect if you were half to blame or less. Above that, the claim is barred. The rule is in 10 Del. C. § 8132.

Say a jury values the case at $40,000 and finds you 20 percent to blame. You would receive $32,000.

Public property in Delaware

Claims against a city, county or the state here follow their own rules and paperwork. Call the same week you fall so nothing is missed.

What your Delaware case is worth

The value comes from your bills, lost pay, how long you hurt, and the fault split above.

Answer four quick questions; the Delaware rule is already set.

How this number is built

Bills plus lost pay, plus an assumed pain allowance of one and a half to five times the bills by injury. Then the state's fault rule. Delaware bars recovery only if you were more than half to blame. Policy limits, liens and future care are left out.

How Delaware fall lawyers charge

Fall lawyers in Delaware work on contingency. They take a share only if they recover money for you, and nothing if they do not.
