Common Causes of Car Accidents in Providence

Car crashes in urban areas like Providence, Rhode Island, often occur due to speeding, distracted driving,

and failure to yield at intersections. Roads with frequent pedestrian and vehicle traffic, such as Prairie Avenue, are particularly prone to collisions. In some cases, weather conditions, road design, or impaired driving may also contribute to accidents.

Injury crashes can leave victims facing steep medical bills, lost wages, and long-term physical pain. Even seemingly minor injuries, such as whiplash or concussions, can develop into lasting health complications if not treated properly.

When another driver’s negligence is responsible, accident victims may have the right to pursue compensation. A personal injury claim can help cover hospital expenses, rehabilitation costs, and the financial impact of missed work.
