How long do I have to file a claim?

Our Google Reviews

When filing a personal injury claim, it’s essential to remain mindful of the statute of limitations. Delaware only gives you two years (§ 8119. Personal injuries) from the date of the injury to file a claim. Therefore, make sure to file your injury claim as soon as possible.

Few Delaware resources exist to help consumers fight against illegal pressure and harassment from creditors and debt collectors. Through defending these cases, we often observe abusive collections practices with personal injury clients (in addition to the insurance hassles/fights that transpire in many personal injury cases). Our law firm has this extra experience to add to the years of personal injury cases we have won.
