Car Accidents in Newark
Car crashes remain one of the most common causes of injury in Delaware, particularly in high-traffic areas like Newark. With their close proximity to major routes and residential neighborhoods, intersections such as Old Baltimore Pike and Lucerne Drive are frequent locations for collisions.
Delaware has averaged over 28,000 motor vehicle accidents per year in recent records. These crashes resulted in thousands of injuries and
dozens of fatalities. Urban areas like Newark contribute significantly to these statistics due to high volumes of daily traffic, distracted driving, and speeding.
Injury accidents can have lasting effects on victims. Even minor crashes can result in chronic pain, emotional stress, and financial hardship. Common injuries include whiplash, back injuries, fractures, and concussions. Some victims may require months of recovery and rehabilitation, especially when the crash involves multiple vehicles or high speeds.
When injured in a collision, many people turn to a proficient personal injury attorney for help. Legal professionals can assist with collecting medical records, documenting injuries, and handling insurance company negotiations. Without representation, victims may struggle to receive fair compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Compensation in Delaware car accidents may include both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover things like emergency room care, follow-up visits, and lost work time. Non-economic damages focus on pain, mental distress, and the loss of life quality following a traumatic event. If another driver was negligent, such as by texting while driving or running a red light, these damages can be significant.
Our qualified personal injury lawyer from Murphy & Landon will also know how to handle comparative negligence laws. In Delaware, a driver may still recover damages even if they are found partially at fault, as long as their fault is not greater than 50 percent. Legal guidance can make a major difference in securing a just outcome.
