Car Accidents in New Castle and Greater Delaware
Car accidents continue to be a major issue in Delaware, especially in busy corridors like Route 1 near New Castle. With thousands of drivers using these roads every day, even a brief lapse in attention can lead to life-changing injuries.
In recent years, Delaware has averaged over 100 traffic-related fatalities annually, with many more sustaining serious injuries. High-speed zones, driver fatigue, distraction, and impaired driving all contribute to the frequency of car accidents in the state. Interchanges and exits, like Exit 156 in New Castle, can become particularly dangerous due to merging traffic and sudden stops.
When accidents happen, the aftermath can be overwhelming. Victims may suffer from broken bones, head injuries, back problems, or internal trauma—often requiring months of recovery.
