Fatal Accidents in Delaware 
A fatal car accident can happen very suddenly and unexpectedly. Victims of these crashes are often innocent motorists or pedestrians, minding their own business when they come into contact with a negligent driver. Although the driver is legally required to remain at the scene of the accident, some motorists choose to flee the scene, hoping to avoid responsibility for their actions. When the motorist is later apprehended, they will face both civil and criminal liability for the accident that they caused.
