Interstate 95 and Delaware Route 1 are two of the busiest and most dangerous roadways in the state. These highways carry high volumes of commuter traffic, commercial trucks, tourists, and out-of-state drivers every day. When accidents occur on I-95 or Route 1, the results are often severe due to high speeds, congestion, and multi-vehicle involvement.

At Schuster Jachetti LLP, our Delaware accident lawyers represent individuals injured in serious crashes on I-95, Route 1, and surrounding connectors. We understand the unique dangers of these corridors and work aggressively to hold negligent drivers and other responsible parties accountable.

Why I-95 and Route 1 Accidents Are So Dangerous

Crashes on major highways tend to cause more serious injuries than local road accidents. Several factors contribute to the increased risk on I-95 and Route 1, including:

  • High speeds and sudden traffic slowdowns

  • Heavy commercial truck and delivery vehicle traffic

  • Frequent lane changes and merging

  • Congested rush-hour traffic

  • Tourist traffic unfamiliar with local roads

  • Construction zones and lane closures

  • Limited reaction time at highway speeds

Even a minor error on these roadways can lead to catastrophic consequences.
