01 · Your filing deadline

What is the deadline in Delaware?

Delaware has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims under Del. Code tit. 10 § 8119. The discovery rule applies to latent toxic exposure injuries. A lawyer can confirm yours.

2 years from discovery

Delaware courts also recognize strict liability for defective products under the Restatement (Third).

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
