Car Accidents in Delaware 
Traffic accidents in Delaware take place on a daily basis and can result in serious injuries and even death. Last year, approximately 160 motorists lost their lives in Delaware car accidents, and many of these victims were not at fault for the collision. Speeding, distraction, impairment, and careless driving can all cause a fatal accident to occur. Each accident must be closely investigated by police in order to determine its cause and which driver should be held responsible.
Delaware law provides victims with certain rights in the aftermath of a car accident. Depending on the circumstances, crash victims and family members may be entitled to recover compensation when they have been affected by an accident. If you have lost a loved one in a crash, you could file a wrongful death claim under Delaware law. These claims must be filed within a certain period of time, so it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible if you believe you may have a case.
