Injury Accidents in Delaware 
Most people take their safety for granted on the road. While driving can seem like a very routine and harmless activity, a serious crash can occur at any time. Motorists should remain vigilant in order to avoid a crash from happening. Last year, nearly 40,000 people were involved in Delaware car accidents. From these numbers, approximately 8,000 motorists suffered injuries. Some victims sustained serious injuries requiring long-term costly and complex medical care.
