Car Accidents in Delaware
Each year, thousands of accidents occur on Delaware highways, leading to injuries and traffic disruptions. Data from the Delaware Department of Transportation shows that over 29,000 crashes happen annually in the state, many of them along major roadways like I-95. Factors such as heavy traffic, driver inattention, and speeding frequently contribute to these collisions.
When crashes occur, victims often deal with a range of challenges. Here are some of the leading causes of highway accidents:
- Distracted Driving – Using a phone, adjusting the radio, or eating while driving can cause dangerous lapses in attention.
- Speeding – Exceeding the speed limit reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes.
- Weather Conditions – Rain, fog, and icy roads make it harder for drivers to maintain control of their vehicles.
- Drowsy Driving – Fatigue impairs judgment and slows reaction time, leading to serious accidents.
- Aggressive Driving – Tailgating, weaving through traffic, and road rage increase the risk of collisions.
