Car Accidents in Wilmington
Car accidents in Wilmington are an unfortunate but frequent occurrence. The city’s mix of busy intersections, older road layouts, and steady
commuter traffic often leads to collisions that cause significant injuries. According to the Delaware Office of Highway Safety, thousands of crashes occur each year across the state, with many happening in urban areas like Wilmington.
Common causes of these accidents include distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield at intersections. Even minor distractions—like checking a phone or adjusting the radio—can lead to devastating consequences in a split second. Wet or poorly lit roads also contribute to serious crashes, especially in high-traffic areas such as Maryland Avenue and South Adams Street.
Those injured in a Wilmington car accident should seek medical attention immediately, even if they feel fine at first. Some injuries take hours or even days to appear. Prompt medical documentation not only supports recovery but also helps build a stronger legal case if compensation becomes necessary.
Injuries from these incidents can range from minor bruises to life-threatening trauma. Victims often experience whiplash, broken bones, spinal injuries, or concussions. Medical bills, time away from work, and emotional distress can make recovery overwhelming. That’s why speaking with a Wilmington car accident lawyer can be crucial.
