Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in Delaware?
In Delaware, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. For minors, the deadline may be extended until their sixth birthday. Missing this deadline can bar you from recovering compensation.
Do I need a certificate of merit to sue for medical malpractice in Delaware?
Yes, Delaware law requires you to file a certificate of merit with your complaint. This document must be signed by a qualified medical expert who states that the care provided fell below the accepted standard. The expert must practice in the same field as the defendant.
What damages can I recover in a Newark medical malpractice case?
You can seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. Delaware caps non-economic damages at $250,000 for most cases, but the cap can be higher in cases of gross negligence or wrongful death.
