The western-Sussex drive

Western Sussex runs on long rural commutes: Route 13 north toward the Dover area or Route 20 east toward the shore towns. Longer distances at higher speeds mean a different claim profile than short city trips, and rural coverage questions come up more often here too, like whether a truck that hauls for work is properly covered. Rural roads also see the state’s share of deer collisions in the fall, which is a comprehensive claim, not a liability one.

What Delaware requires you to carry

Delaware’s minimum liability limits are 25/50/10: $25,000 for injury to one person, $50,000 for injuries per accident and $10,000 for property damage. Every policy also carries personal injury protection (PIP) of $15,000/$30,000.

Uninsured motorist coverage is included in every Delaware policy unless you reject it in writing. Delaware is a fault state, so the at-fault driver’s insurance pays first.
