Motor vehicle collisions can forever alter the lives of anyone involved. The aftermath of a car accidents can be overwhelming for victims and their family members. Not only will victims likely experience significant emotional and physical trauma, but there are many unexpected related expenses. One recent tragic Delaware accident ended with a fatality and a young woman seriously injured.

A 50-year-old man was driving on a road that curved to the left when the accident occurred. Reportedly, he lost control as he rounded the curve, resulting in a collision with a sedan. The sedan was driven by a 22-year-old female, and her car spun around her on her side of the road. The male driver’s vehicle left the roadway and down an embankment.

Despite wearing his seat belt, the older driver did not survive his injuries. Reportedly, the young woman was also wearing her seat belt and survived the collision. Her injuries are serious, but she is expected to survive. The accident investigation is still pending, and it has not been determined if alcohol was consumed by either driver prior to the accident.

When car accidents occur, seriously injured victims may experience unexpected expensive medical and therapy bills. Compounding financial stress, a victim’s injuries may make it difficult to work and earn income while healing occurs. When suspected negligent drivers do not survive accidents, recovering compensation may be complicated. Experienced personal injury attorneys in Delaware can advise victims on how to seek compensation from the estate of deceased parties deemed responsible.
