Filing suit against husband for damages


Case Problem:

Margaret Beattie was seriously injured in an automobile accident in Delaware and was rendered a quadriplegic following the accident. She filed suit against her husband for damages, alleging that his negligence was the cause of her injuries. Because the Beatties had substantial liability insurance, Margaret would have received a large sum in damages if she had been able to establish her case. Unfortunately for her, Delaware follows the precedent of not allowing one spouse to sue the other spouse in tort. Should this precedent prevent Margaret from being allowed to sue her husband for damages in this case? Beattie v. Beattie, 630 A.2d 1096 (Del. 1993).

Your answer must be, typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format and also include references.
