Fatal Hit-and-Run Accident in New Castle 
Driving in Delaware can be a hazardous activity. According to the Delaware Department of Transportation, there were 28,473 reported car accidents across the state in 2021. From these accidents, 8,255 motorists were injured, and 139 people tragically lost their lives. Hit-and-run accidents are also quite common. Under Delaware law, drivers are required to remain at the accident scene and to cooperate with law enforcement officers who are investigating the crash. Unfortunately, many people ignore the law and flee the scene in an effort to avoid taking responsibility for their actions. In Delaware, it is a serious crime to leave a crash scene where injuries are involved.
If you or a loved one have been affected by a hit-and-run accident, you need an attorney who will stand up for your legal rights. A hit-and-run accident can be a complicated legal scenario. In some cases, the other driver is never found, leaving questions of whether there will be insurance coverage for the accident. In other cases, the driver does not even have car insurance which makes victims potentially responsible for their own costs associated with the crash.
