Car Accidents in Delaware
There are nearly 1 million registered motor vehicles in Delaware, which represents about one vehicle for every member of the state’s population. In 2021, about 30,000 traffic accidents and nearly 8,000 injuries were reported on our local roadways. The majority of these crashes were caused by negligent and reckless drivers. Speeding was the main cause of these accidents, followed by distraction, impairment, and failure to yield to other drivers.
A Delaware car accident can have major impacts on victims. The crash can cause serious physical injuries that limit your ability to engage in certain activities. Additionally, the accident may result in mental and emotional trauma as well as financial hardships due to rising medical costs. All of these factors together can lead to an overwhelming sense of anxiety and uncertainty regarding your future. However, there is help available under Delaware law.
