Delaware requires $15,000 in bodily injury liability per person, $30,000 per accident, and $10,000 in property damage liability (15/30/10). The state also mandates $15,000 in personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. Delaware is a no-fault insurance system, so your insurance covers your medical expenses and lost wages after an accident regardless of fault. Property damage claims work differently and you file against the at-fault driver's insurance for vehicle repairs.
