Injury Crash in New Castle 
Car accidents in Delaware happen very suddenly and unexpectedly. Per capita, our state has one of the highest rates of crashes and injury accidents in the country. Last year, nearly 30,000 accidents were reported, and more than 7,000 motorists were hurt as a result of these accidents. While each crash must be carefully investigated by authorities, most collisions occur because of some form of negligent driving. This includes speeding, impairment, distraction, and more. Negligent drivers who behave carelessly are placing themselves and all others at high risk of being involved in an accident.
