Car Accidents in Delaware
Car accidents are one of the most common causes of serious injuries across Delaware, especially in high-traffic areas such as Sussex County and Wilmington. According to the Delaware Office of Highway Safety, thousands of crashes occur each year, leading to significant numbers of hospitalizations and fatalities. Intersections like Bay Farm Rd and Rte 24 are particularly prone to collisions because of heavy commuter
traffic and limited visibility during certain hours.
Many Delaware car accidents result from distracted driving, speeding, or failure to yield. Even a momentary lapse in attention can lead to devastating injuries such as broken bones, spinal trauma, or concussions. Victims often face long recovery times, medical expenses, and lost income while they heal.
