Legal Question in Personal Injury in Delaware

You can sue anybody for anything. The question is can you successfully sue a car company in Delaware for airbags not deploying? The simple answer is that it is very hard, it costs a lot of money (between $15,000 and $50,000.00) and it will take several years. It would be necessary to store and preserve the car in the state it was in as a result of the accident. If you are thinking about pursuing a lawsuit you need to hold onto the car and not fix it.

Unless someone suffered a catastrophic injury as a result of the airbags not deploying, it is unlikely that you will find an attorney who is willing to take the case because of the cost. In addition bringing a products liability suit in Delaware is more difficult than other States because Delaware does not recognize the RS Torts 402A which allows for strict liability in products liability cases.
