Car Accidents in Rhode Island

Car accidents remain a serious issue across Rhode Island, especially on high-traffic corridors

such as I-195. With thousands of drivers traveling these routes daily, collisions are unfortunately common. Busy stretches like the Washington Bridge area in Cranston see frequent crashes due to congestion, merging traffic, and high speeds.

The most common causes of crashes in Rhode Island include distracted driving, impaired driving, and speeding. Even brief distractions, such as checking a phone, can lead to a devastating impact. Speeding also remains a consistent danger, reducing reaction time and worsening the severity of injuries when collisions occur. These factors often combine, creating situations where accidents like the one near Kenwood St take place.

The injuries from car accidents can vary widely. Victims may face whiplash, broken bones, or back injuries that take weeks or months to heal. In more severe cases, spinal or head trauma can change the course of a victim’s life permanently. Beyond the physical pain, accident victims often struggle with emotional trauma and significant financial stress. Medical bills, missed paychecks, and therapy costs can overwhelm families during the recovery process.

This is why many people turn to personal injury attorneys after an accident. A Rhode Island car accident lawyer can investigate the scene, collect evidence, and protect victims from unfair insurance tactics. Having an experienced advocate can make the difference between struggling with bills alone and securing the compensation needed for medical care, lost income, and pain and suffering.

In cases where a driver flees or circumstances are unclear, legal representation becomes even more important. Attorneys can locate witnesses, obtain surveillance footage, and build a strong case to establish liability. Their work helps ensure that victims and families get the answers they deserve and the support they need to move forward.
