Description: Wilmington, Delaware personal injury lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued the Defendant on a negligence theory.

"Delaware personal injury negligence law governs situations where someone gets hurt due to another party's carelessness or failure to act reasonably. Here's a breakdown of key aspects:

Duty of care: Property owners, businesses, and individuals all have a duty of care to act reasonably and avoid foreseeable harm to others. This duty varies depending on the relationship between the parties:

Invitees: People granted express or implied permission to enter the property for the owner's benefit (e.g., customers). Owners owe the highest duty of care to invitees, requiring active inspection and prompt hazard repair.
Licensees: Individuals entering with permission but not for the owner's benefit (e.g., social guests). Owners owe them a general duty to warn about known dangers.
Trespassers: Generally, no duty to warn exists, except for child trespassers or intentional harm creation.

Breach of duty: The injured person must prove the other party breached their duty of care. This could involve creating the hazard, knowing about it but not fixing it, or failing to take reasonable precautions to prevent harm.

Proximate cause: The breach of duty must be the direct cause of the injury. The injury would not have occurred without the other party's negligence.

Damages: If successful, the injured person can recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses caused by the injury.

Key features of Delaware law:

Modified comparative negligence: Recovery is possible even if partially at fault, but damages are reduced by the percentage of your own negligence.
No caps on damages: No limits on the amount of compensation, unlike some states.
Statute of limitations: Generally two years to file a personal injury lawsuit after the injury occurs.

Common types of personal injury cases:

Car accidents
Slip and fall accidents
Medical malpractice
Product liability
Dog bites
Defective premises

Seeking legal help: If you've been injured due to negligence in Delaware, seeking professional legal guidance is crucial. An experienced personal injury attorney can navigate the complexities of the law, evaluate your case, and help you pursue fair compensation."
