How Delaware law treats burn-injury claims

Shared fault

Delaware applies modified comparative fault with a 51% bar: recovery is lost only once the injured person's fault exceeds the defendants' combined fault.

10 Del. C. § 8132

Damage caps

Delaware caps neither ordinary personal-injury damages nor malpractice damages against private defendants. Claims against a Delaware county or municipality are separately capped at $300,000 per occurrence.
