Car Accidents in Rhode Island

Across Rhode Island, car accidents are an everyday reality, especially in high-traffic intersections like those in Providence. Whether caused by speed, distracted driving, or failure to yield, intersection crashes can result in significant harm and disruption for drivers and communities.

Understanding common outcomes of these crashes helps victims prepare for what follows:

• Intersection Blockages: Accidents that block intersections not only delay traffic but can also complicate emergency response and rescue efforts.

• Multiple Vehicles at Risk: Collisions at intersections often involve secondary vehicles, increasing the number of people affected and making fault harder to determine.

• Injury Risks: These accidents commonly cause head, neck, or back injuries due to the angle of impact and speed involved.

• Vehicle Towing Needs: Crashes at intersections often render vehicles immobile, requiring towing services and delaying insurance claims.

• Stress and Anxiety: Crashes at night, like this one, can be especially jarring. Many victims report difficulty sleeping or driving again after late-night accidents.
