Car Accident in Newark
Delaware can be a very dangerous place for motorists. With nearly 30,000 reported crashes and approximately 8,000 reported injuries in traffic accidents every year, the dangers of driving in our state cannot be underestimated. While we tend to view driving as a safe and routine activity, it is easy to take our security for granted. All it takes is one split second of negligent or inattentive driving to result in a major injury accident that can affect multiple individuals.
Unfortunately, negligent drivers are simply a fact of life on our state’s roadways. Motorists can take certain precautions to lower their risk of being involved in a collision, including following traffic safety laws and driving in a defensive and non-aggressive manner. However, the reality is that crashes can still occur despite these best efforts. In some cases, an accident may simply be unavoidable.
