It goes without saying that no one wants to be involved in a crash. However, statistics say that most drivers will be involved in an accident at some point in their lives. Unfortunately, car accidents are increasing every year in Delaware since roadways across the state are over-crowded and constantly congested. These days, just going for a short drive can potentially result in a serious crash.

A recent crash in New Castle County seriously injured one man and left a driver facing possible fines. The accident happened on Summit Bridge Road during the overnight hours. According to reports, the driver of a northbound GMC pickup truck lost control, traveled through the median and crossed both southbound lanes of the highway. Reportedly, the driver overcorrected and then veered back across the road.

As the United States economy continues to grow, there is a greater need to transport goods, materials and merchandise. The most common and efficient way to transport these things are commercial vehicles such as tractor-trailers. In Delaware and across the country, smaller passenger vehicles are forced to share crowded interstates and highways with these large commercial vehicles. Tragically, car accidents with massive tractor-trailers are often fatal.

A woman was recently killed in an accident involving a tractor-trailer on Interstate 495. Reports said northbound traffic along the roadway had slowed due to a lane closure. A tractor-trailer failed to slow down in time and struck the rear of a Ford SUV, igniting a chain reaction crash, according to accident reports.

Literally hundreds of thousands of surgical procedures are performed every day across the United States. Thanks to skilled surgeons, advanced technology and stringent regulations, the vast majority of surgeries in America are successful and allow patients to have healthier, pain-free lives. However, with any medical procedure, there is always risk involved. Surgical errors happen more than most Delaware residents realize. Mistakes made during surgeries are responsible for thousands of deaths and injuries every year.

A woman in another state claims that negligence during her eye surgery led to further complications. According to the lawsuit, the woman underwent cataract surgery on her left eye. However, the woman claims her eye remained dilated weeks after her surgery and caused her problems. 

Being involved in a crash is an event that no person wants to face. Unfortunately, car accidents are one of the leading causes of death and injury in the United States. In Delaware especially, roads are more crowded than ever, so drivers who navigate these crowded roads need to stay focused at all times behind the wheel. However, statistics are showing that Delaware drivers these days are paying less attention to the road and more attention to cell phones and other gadgets.

A recent two-vehicle crash in Milton claimed the life of one driver and injured another. The crash occurred at the intersection of Gravel Hill and Shingle Point roads. According to reports, the driver of a car was traveling east on Shingle Point and stopped at the intersection. Reportedly, the driver of the car pulled out in front of an SUV that was traveling south on Gravel Hill.
