Multi-Vehicle Crashes in Delaware
Multi-vehicle accidents in Delaware can happen quickly and result in a range of injuries, from minor cuts and bruises to severe trauma. The
state’s busy highways, including Sussex Hwy and major roads around Wilmington, see a high volume of vehicles, increasing the likelihood of collisions.
Common causes of multi-vehicle crashes include distracted driving, speeding, impaired driving, and sudden lane changes. Even experienced drivers can find it difficult to avoid collisions when others act unpredictably. Intersections and highways near populated areas often carry higher risks because of congestion and frequent merging traffic.
Injuries from these accidents vary. Whiplash and neck injuries are frequent, caused by the sudden jerking motions during impact. Back injuries, herniated discs, and fractures are also common, sometimes resulting in long-term physical limitations. Head injuries, including concussions, can occur even in moderate-speed collisions, impacting cognitive function and daily activities. Soft tissue injuries, sprains, and bruising are common and may require therapy to recover fully.
