Injury Accidents in Delaware
Thousands of drivers and passengers travel on Delaware’s roadways each day. While these trips are uneventful the majority of the time, sometimes an accident will happen. According to statistics from the Delaware Department of Transportation, approximately 30,000 motorists were involved in crashes that took place in our state in 2021. As a result of these accidents, about 8,000 people were hurt, and sadly, approximately 150 people lost their lives. Most accidents occurred because of reckless or inattentive driving.
An injury crash in Delaware can affect victims and family members in many ways. First, the crash can cause financial hardship due to high medical costs. Victims can also suffer physical pain long after the collision as they struggle to recover from their injuries. Finally, the accident can take a mental and emotional toll as individuals relive the traumatic nature of the collision itself.
Under Delaware law, injured motorists have legal recourse in some situations. In cases where the other driver was at fault or even partially at fault, victims may be entitled to compensation for their losses. This includes the right to receive a recovery for any lost wages, pain and suffering, medical bills, and possibly more.
