Delaware Car Accidents
Delaware can be a dangerous place for motorists. Last year, more than 30,000 car accidents were reported on our local roadways. About 8,000 of these crashes resulted in injuries for one or more victims. Sadly, approximately 160 people were killed in Delaware car accidents in that same year. A crash victim has about a 30% chance of being hurt if they are involved in an accident. The chances of injury go up depending on the nature of the crash. For example, head-on or sideswipe collisions will likely result in serious injuries, whereas minor fender benders may not. However, there are other factors, such as the speed of the vehicles involved and whether any evasive maneuvers were taken prior to the collision.
If you or a loved one have been injured in a Delaware car accident, you should seek legal advice as soon as possible. Under Delaware law, crash victims may have certain important and valuable rights. This includes the right to compensation for their pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills, and potentially more.
