Car Accident in Wilmington
No one ever expects to be involved in a car accident. However, there are nearly one million drivers on Delaware’s roadways at any given time. Traffic volume and congestion are common issues across the state. Given this, it is reasonable to expect that most people will become a victim of an accident at some point during their lives. Not all accidents will result in injuries, but many of them will. For instance, it is estimated that nearly 8,000 people were hurt in crashes that occurred in Delaware in 2021.
