Apportionment In Delaware Accident Cases
In the state of Delaware it is not always easy to determine who is liable for an accident and the injuries that result from the accident. Often times liability rests on several people, parties or corporate entities. Who is ultimately liable for your injuries is directly related to the circumstances and events that led up to the accident. Sometimes more than one party may be at fault but making them liable legally can be difficult. For instance if a vehicle ahead of you loses control, and another vehicle swerves to avoid that vehicle and ultimately runs into you, that person, as well as the vehicle that initially lost control, may both be at fault. However, if the first vehicle regains control and continues driving down the road it may not be an easy task to hold them accountable legally even though they caused the accident. Working with a skilled Delaware Accident Attorney can help get you the benefits and compensation you deserve.

Comparative Negligence Laws In Delaware
Comparative Negligence is the legal term for the doctrine in the law of negligence that compares the degree of negligence of the plaintiff and the defendant. Delaware adheres to the 50% rule regarding Comparative Negligence. This means that the plaintiff, or victim, may recover as long as the plaintiff is not more at fault than the defendant, i.e. if liability is 50-50, the plaintiff may recover.
