STATEWIDE ACCIDENT DATA
In Delaware, there are approximately 1,300 truck-related accidents annually, resulting in around 200 injuries and an average of 30 fatalities per year. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Delaware has a violation rate of 22% for various trucking regulations, highlighting ongoing safety issues. Moreover, rigorous inspections reveal that a significant percentage of commercial vehicles do not meet safety standards, posing risks on our roads.
DE STATE LAW & DEADLINES
Delaware's statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including truck accidents, is two years from the date of the incident. The state follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault but not if it's over 50%. Additionally, Delaware has specific regulations for trucking companies, including guidelines for driver qualifications and vehicle maintenance that go beyond FMCSA requirements. This can significantly influence the value of your claim, especially in cases involving dram shop liability where intoxicated drivers are concerned.
HIGH-RISK CORRIDORS
Commercial truck accidents in Delaware frequently occur on major highways such as I-95, US Route 40, and I-495, particularly around the Wilmington area. The interchange areas near I-95 and US 202 are notorious for heavy traffic and frequent incidents. Other high-risk locations include Route 1 and Route 13, which see a large volume of commercial vehicles navigating through busy towns and intersections.
WHERE YOUR CASE IS FILED
Truck accident cases in Delaware may be filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, which has divisions in Wilmington and Dover. At the state level, victims can bring their claims to the Superior Court of Delaware in various counties, including New Castle, Kent, and Sussex. These courts are experienced in handling personal injury claims and understand the intricacies of trucking accident cases.
