Delaware can be a dangerous state for motorists. According to the Delaware Department of Transportation, there were nearly 30,000 reported car accidents in our state in 2021. Almost 8,000 people were hurt and, sadly, more than 100 were killed. In 2022, Delaware tied a record for the most traffic-related fatalities in a year, with 165 people losing their lives on local roadways.
These numbers tell us that drivers should always use the highest level of care and caution when traveling. Driving safely and defensively can help significantly reduce the risk of a crash. However, not all accidents are avoidable. Negligent and careless drivers can cause a crash to happen in a split second. Head-on collisions are among the most dangerous and catastrophic accidents that we see. Most of these collisions are caused by drivers who were impaired or distracted at the time of the collision. Regardless of the ultimate cause, family members may have legal rights following a fatal accident. It is important to take steps to exercise those rights as soon as possible. You have a limited time to act so you should not delay taking any type of legal action.
