Car Accidents in Rhode Island

Each year in Rhode Island, thousands of drivers and passengers are hurt in crashes on busy highways like I-95 North. These incidents can happen in the blink of an eye, often leaving victims with physical injuries, financial stress, and emotional burdens. Even careful drivers can find themselves hurt when another motorist acts carelessly. It’s important for victims to understand what steps they can take to protect themselves and their future after an accident. To help you stay informed, here are some of the most common financial impacts victims face after a crash:

• Emergency Medical Expenses: From ambulance rides to ER visits and follow-up treatments, the costs can add up quickly. Even those with health insurance may be left with significant out-of-pocket bills that strain household budgets.

• Rehabilitation and Therapy Costs: Many injuries require physical therapy or other rehab services to regain strength and mobility. These sessions can go on for months, creating additional expenses that aren’t always fully covered by insurance.

• Lost Income: Missing work due to injuries means a sudden loss of income for many families. In more serious cases, victims may be unable to return to their previous jobs, resulting in long-term financial uncertainty.

• Vehicle Repair or Replacement: Damage to your car can be costly, and working with insurance adjusters doesn’t always guarantee you’ll receive enough to cover all repair or replacement costs.

• Future Medical Needs: Some injuries lead to long-term health issues that require ongoing care. These future expenses should be considered when negotiating any settlement to avoid paying out-of-pocket later on.
