Injury Claims in Camden, Where Three Kent County Routes Meet

We don't have an office in Camden. Camden clients meet with our team at our Kent County office in Dover, 1326 S Governors Ave #101, Dover, DE 19904, just north of Camden. Book a meeting through the Dover office at (302) 205-3116; the helpline, (302) 781-3077, never closes.

US-13, Main Street and Camden Wyoming Avenue

Camden sits where three Kent County routes meet. US-13 runs north and south through the eastern part of town as South Dupont Highway, carrying through traffic between Dover and points south. US-13 Alternate follows Main Street through the center of Camden. Delaware Route 10 crosses east and west on Camden Wyoming Avenue, forming the line between Camden and Wyoming, then continues east of US-13 as Lebanon Road, a four-lane divided highway toward DE-1 and the north gate of Dover Air Force Base. DE-10 has also been the site of bypass construction around Camden, so work zones are part of local driving.

Pedestrians and hit-and-run crashes on South Dupont Highway

A wide, fast highway through a residential town puts people on foot at risk. In January 2025 the Delaware State Police Troop 3 Collision Reconstruction Unit investigated a fatal crash at South Dupont Highway and Caboose Lane, where a pedestrian crossing the southbound lanes was struck by a driver who did not stop. When the driver is never found, your own uninsured motorist coverage under 18 Del. C. § 3902 may still pay, provided the policy and statutory conditions are met, including a police report. Our page on hit-and-run claims in Delaware covers those conditions.

Who writes the report in Camden

The Town of Camden has its own police department, and the neighboring Town of Wyoming has a separate one, so the agency depends on which side of Camden Wyoming Avenue the crash happened. Delaware State Police Troop 3 is based in Camden on South State Street, and its Collision Reconstruction Unit handles serious and fatal crashes in the area, including a bicycle crash in April 2024 and a motorcycle crash in June 2025.

Emergency care and the Kent County courthouse

Bayhealth Hospital, Kent Campus in Dover runs a Level III trauma center with a 24-hour emergency department, a short drive north on US-13. If a Camden injury claim goes to Superior Court, it is filed in Kent County at the Kent County Courthouse on The Green in Dover.

Camden crashes on foot or by bike are covered on our pedestrian accident claims and bicycle accident claims pages.
