Victims may suffer serious injuries that can linger for weeks or months following the collision. The injuries are painful and can even be permanent in nature.
Following a Delaware car accident, it is important to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Injuries tend to worsen when they are not properly addressed right away.

In some cases, a car accident injury may not even become apparent until long after the crash has happened. The sooner you seek treatment, the better your chances of a full recovery.
