Highway Accidents in Wilmington
Crashes along major highways like I-95 in Wilmington can lead to serious injuries and major disruptions. With thousands of vehicles traveling the interstate daily, high-speed collisions are unfortunately common. When a crash occurs in heavy traffic, multiple vehicles may be
involved, making injuries more likely and the investigation more complex.
Injuries in highway crashes can include anything from whiplash to severe head trauma. Even with safety systems like seat belts and airbags, the force of impact on highways can be extreme. Common injuries in Wilmington highway crashes include broken bones, back injuries, neck pain, and head trauma. Victims often need emergency care, long-term therapy, or even surgery.
If you were hurt in a highway crash in Delaware, a Wilmington car accident lawyer can help you understand your options. Insurance companies may try to settle quickly, often offering far less than what victims need for treatment and recovery. That’s why contacting a personal injury lawyer early on can be essential. They can gather evidence, speak to witnesses, and handle the insurance process while you focus on healing.
A Wilmington accident attorney can also help determine if other factors played a role in the crash. For example, speeding, distracted driving, or mechanical failure may be involved. If another driver was negligent, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
In some cases, multiple parties might share fault, including commercial vehicle operators or government agencies responsible for road upkeep. A personal injury attorney will know how to approach these complex cases and seek full compensation for your injuries.
