Highway Accidents in Delaware
Highways such as I-95 and I-295 are common locations for accidents due to high traffic volumes, merging lanes, and varying speeds. Crashes on major interstates can result in severe injuries, especially when high speeds or sudden lane changes are involved.
Some of the most common causes of highway crashes include distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield when merging. Weather conditions, such as rain or fog, can further increase the risk of accidents by reducing visibility and traction on the road.
Even minor crashes on highways can lead to significant delays and secondary accidents due to sudden stops or lane blockages. For injured victims, seeking medical care immediately is crucial, as some injuries—such as whiplash or internal trauma—may not be immediately noticeable but can worsen over time.
For those involved in highway accidents, understanding legal rights is important when dealing with insurance claims and potential compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. Seeking guidance from a legal professional can help victims navigate the claims process and ensure they receive fair treatment.
