Injury Accidents in Delaware

Most people, at some point in their lives, will be affected by a traffic accident. Either they will be a victim themselves, or they will have a family member or close friend who is involved in a collision. While not all accidents will result in injuries, some of them will. Unfortunately, a serious crash can occur anywhere at any time and with no advance warning. Each day, careless and reckless drivers across Delaware engage in negligent driving behaviors that lead to reportable accidents. These accidents often involve injuries to innocent motorists who were simply minding their own business when the accident occurred.

Under Delaware law, crash victims have certain rights in some instances following a collision. If you were not at fault at all or were only partially at fault, you could be entitled to file a personal injury action against the other driver. In order to file an action, the other driver had to be the cause of the accident, and you must have sustained injuries. In many cases, the injuries sustained can be serious and can require complex and extensive medical care. Fortunately, the law allows you to make a claim for all of your damages.
