Pedestrian Accidents in Providence

Pedestrian accidents are a serious safety concern throughout Rhode Island, including in Providence. Busy intersections like Killingly St and Cedar St can be especially dangerous for

walkers, as traffic volumes increase the risk of collisions. Even a low-speed impact between a vehicle and a pedestrian can cause devastating injuries.

Victims of pedestrian crashes often suffer broken bones, head injuries, spinal trauma, or internal damage. These conditions can require extensive hospital care and long-term rehabilitation. Beyond the physical harm, many injured pedestrians face emotional trauma and financial hardship due to medical bills and time away from work.

Driver negligence plays a large role in many of these accidents. Speeding, distracted driving, impairment, or failing to yield to pedestrians all increase the likelihood of a crash. Rhode Island law requires drivers to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks, yet violations continue to put lives at risk.

Improving pedestrian safety also depends on infrastructure. Better crosswalk markings, increased lighting, and traffic calming measures are essential in reducing accidents. Municipalities like Providence continue to work on ways to make their streets safer, but challenges remain.

When someone is hurt in a pedestrian accident, they may be entitled to compensation. This can cover medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation, pain and suffering, and long-term care. Unfortunately, insurance companies often minimize claims. Working with an experienced Rhode Island pedestrian accident lawyer can help victims protect their rights. An attorney can investigate the crash, negotiate with insurers, and fight for fair compensation while the victim focuses on recovery.
