Pedestrian Accidents in Providence

Pedestrian accidents often result in severe injuries because victims have little protection against the force of a vehicle. Common causes include distracted driving, speeding, and

drivers failing to yield the right of way at crosswalks or intersections. In some cases, low visibility, poorly lit streets, or impaired driving can also contribute to such collisions.

When a pedestrian is struck, the consequences can range from broken bones and traumatic brain injuries to life-threatening internal trauma. Even accidents at relatively low speeds can leave lasting physical and emotional impacts.

In Rhode Island, pedestrians who are injured by negligent drivers may be entitled to pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Taking legal action can also help hold careless drivers accountable and promote safer roadways.
