Personal injury accidents in Delaware

According to the Delaware Department of Transportation, approximately 30,000 car accidents are reported in our state each year. While not every accident results in injuries, many do. It is estimated that approximately 8,000 people are injured in car accidents in Delaware each year. Some of these injuries are serious, and a small percentage are fatal. Unfortunately, victims are often injured in accidents that were not their fault. Speeding, impairment, and distracted driving play a large role in car accidents in Delaware.

If you have been injured in a car accident, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Many car accident injuries do not appear immediately. While you may feel fine immediately after the accident, you may experience pain a few days later. Before your injuries worsen, it is important to seek medical attention. This will help speed up your recovery time and ensure that you can make a full recovery.

After receiving medical treatment, you should contact an attorney for legal protection. Delaware’s car accident laws are complicated and full of traps for injured victims.
