Car Accidents in Rhode Island

Each year in Rhode Island, crashes like this one remind us of how unpredictable the roads can be. Motor vehicle accidents often happen in an instant but can have lasting effects on victims and their families. From minor injuries to more severe trauma, the impact can mean hospital stays, time away from work, and unexpected medical costs. Even careful drivers can find themselves hurt by someone else’s careless or reckless behavior. Understanding what steps to take after an accident can make all the difference in protecting your health and financial future. Here’s what victims should know about some of the common injuries that can result from car crashes:

• Concussions and Brain Injuries: A sudden impact can cause the brain to move inside the skull, leading to concussions or more severe traumatic brain injuries. These can affect memory, concentration, and emotional well-being, often requiring ongoing care and therapy.

• Back and Spinal Injuries: Even low-speed collisions can injure the spine. Herniated discs, fractured vertebrae, or spinal cord damage can mean chronic pain, reduced mobility, or permanent disabilities.

• Facial Injuries: Broken glass, airbag deployment, or striking the steering wheel can lead to facial fractures, cuts, and dental damage. Such injuries often need reconstructive surgery and can leave lasting scars.

• Internal Injuries: Blunt force trauma may cause internal bleeding or damage to organs like the liver or spleen. These injuries are not always visible right away and can become life-threatening if untreated.

• Emotional Trauma: Many people overlook the mental health impact of a crash. Anxiety, depression, or PTSD can make it harder for victims to return to daily life and may require counseling or other support services.
