Exceptions and details

Delaware has no court formally named 'small claims'; small civil claims (debt, contract, replevin, property damage) are heard in the Justice of the Peace Court, whose limit is $25,000 (10 Del. C. § 9301). JP Court negligence jurisdiction excludes cases involving physical injury, so personal-injury suits go to the Court of Common Pleas or Superior Court. Interest may be added above $25,000, and the cap does not apply to certain claims in commercial-lease summary possession actions. JP Court also hears all landlord/tenant summary possession cases.

Runs from the date the injuries were sustained, subject to § 8127 (alleged deficiencies in the construction of improvements to real property). Medical negligence claims are governed by separate statutes.

Delaware has no mandatory bar association (lawyers are regulated by the Delaware Supreme Court); the DSBA is the voluntary statewide bar. Its explanatory page is https://www.dsba.org/resources/public-resources/ ('The Online Lawyer Referral Service (OLRS) is strictly a referral service'). Participating lawyers choose whether to contact the requester.
