Car Accidents in Delaware

Injury crashes in Delaware take place on a daily basis. While not every accident results in injuries, many of them will. Unfortunately, many crashes also involve innocent motorists. These drivers or passengers were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time when a crash occurred. Some common injuries sustained in Delaware car accidents include broken bones, head and neck trauma, soft tissue injuries, and more.
