The vast majority of cases in any courthouse involve civil procedures and lawsuits, including legal actions for accidents and injuries caused by others. FindLaw's Delaware Accident and Injury Law section covers the basics of injury law, with a general overview of how the state applies the legal theory of negligence to civil cases; the statute of limitations -- or time limits -- imposed on plaintiffs for filing civil charges; and more. This section also includes a relatively detailed overview of workers' compensation laws in Delaware, which ensure that employers take care of their workers' job-related injuries and illnesses.
