Pedestrian Accidents in Providence, Rhode Island

Pedestrian accidents remain a serious concern in Rhode Island, especially in areas like Broad St, where both foot and vehicle traffic are consistently heavy. Crashes involving pedestrians

are often severe, even at lower speeds, due to the lack of protection for the person on foot.

Late-night incidents—such as the one reported near 11:20 p.m.—often carry additional risks. Reduced visibility, distracted driving, and impaired driving are more common at night and contribute to a higher rate of injury or fatality in pedestrian crashes.

Injuries in these accidents can be life-altering. Victims frequently suffer from broken bones, spinal injuries, internal trauma, or traumatic brain injuries. Medical treatment can be extensive and ongoing, with physical therapy, rehabilitation, or surgery often required. Many victims also experience emotional trauma that can linger long after the physical injuries heal.

When a pedestrian is struck due to a driver’s negligence, they may be entitled to financial compensation. A personal injury lawyer can help gather evidence, handle insurance claims, and ensure the victim receives fair compensation. This can include recovery for medical bills, future treatment, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

It’s important that victims act quickly. The sooner an attorney is involved, the more likely it is that key evidence—such as surveillance footage or eyewitness accounts—can be secured to strengthen the case.
