How federal and Delaware claims work together
A single unwanted call or text can support more than one claim. The federal TCPA addresses how the communication was placed, including autodialed calls, prerecorded and artificial-voice messages, and calls to numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry. Delaware telephone solicitation statutes and the Delaware Consumer Fraud Act address conduct under Delaware law and can add remedies. Federal TCPA statutory damages of $500-$1,500 per violation.
