Delaware Government Vehicle Crashes, State Insurance & Local Tort Claims
Claims involving Delaware governmental vehicles require separate analysis depending on whether the defendant is the State or a local governmental entity. Local liability, sovereign-immunity waivers, notice requirements and insurance coverage differ by defendant.
- Identify the governmental entity, employee, vehicle ownership and scope of employment.
- Determine whether state sovereign-immunity or local-government statutes apply.
- Calendar any applicable notice requirement and limitations period.
- Apply current damages caps, insurance waivers and procedural requirements.
