DELAWARE AUTO INSURANCE GUIDE

Delaware Crash Investigation, Evidence Preservation & Two-Year Limitation

Serious-crash evidence can disappear quickly, and Delaware generally imposes a two-year limitations period for personal-injury and wrongful-death actions, subject to claim-specific exceptions and governmental notice rules.

  • Preserve vehicle condition, event-data-recorder and telematics evidence.
  • Collect law-enforcement, 911, body-camera, dash-camera and dispatch records.
  • Identify roadway, weather, signal, surveillance and witness evidence.
  • Calendar the two-year limitation and any shorter governmental, contractual or claim-specific deadline.
