Injury Car Accidents and Personal Injury Claims in New Castle County
New Castle County has experienced a decrease in traffic fatalities in recent years, from 137 in 2023 to 131 in 2024. However, multi-vehicle accidents remain a significant issue, with incidents like the recent crash on Christiana Rd serving as a reminder of the ongoing risks. Despite improvements in road safety, high-speed collisions and heavy traffic continue to contribute to injuries and fatalities in the area.
If you’re involved in a car accident, it’s essential to seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries aren’t obvious. If the crash was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim. Consulting an experienced attorney is crucial for assessing your case and navigating the legal process. While many personal injury cases are settled out of court, some may go to trial if a fair settlement can’t be reached. It’s also important to be aware of the statute of limitations for filing a claim, as these deadlines vary by jurisdiction.
