Car Accidents in Rhode Island

Every year in Rhode Island, hit-and-run accidents contribute to a growing list of traffic-related injuries and fatalities. These incidents add layers of complexity for victims trying to recover physically and financially. Understanding what follows a crash like this can help residents be better prepared.

Here are some key points about the aftermath of a hit and run:

• Delayed Medical Care: Without the driver on scene to call for help, victims may suffer longer before receiving treatment. This delay can complicate injuries and recovery.

• Insurance Complications: If the fleeing driver isn’t identified, victims often have to rely on their own uninsured motorist coverage, which may not fully cover all damages.

• Legal Barriers: Pursuing a case is more difficult when the responsible party is unknown. It may require lengthy investigations and legal support.

• Emotional Stress: Not knowing who caused the crash can leave victims feeling unsettled, angry, or unsafe in their own community.

• Long-Term Recovery: From physical therapy to lost wages, the road back after a hit and run is often more difficult than after other types of accidents.
