SB189 amends Delaware insurance law to allow individuals to rescind a release of claim for motor vehicle accident injuries within 15 days.
SB189 amends Title 18 of the Delaware Code to modify the process for releasing claims in motor vehicle accident cases. It allows individuals to rescind a signed release of claim within 15 days if done without attorney assistance or a power of attorney. The bill also mandates that any release of liability must include a notice of the individual's right to rescind, either on the release document or settlement check, or via written communication if neither exists. The changes take effect six months after the bill's enactment.
