Hit-and-Run Accidents in Rhode Island

Hit-and-run crashes are some of the most devastating accidents on Rhode Island roads. Victims often suffer serious injuries and are left without immediate aid because the

responsible driver flees the scene. State law requires drivers to stop and render assistance after an accident, and failing to do so carries severe criminal penalties.

In many cases, victims of hit-and-run crashes sustain head trauma, fractures, internal injuries, or other life-threatening conditions. The delay in receiving medical attention can make recovery even more difficult. Beyond the physical toll, families are often left with medical bills, lost income, and emotional stress.

For victims, seeking legal guidance is an important step toward justice. Even if the at-fault driver is not immediately identified, a proficient pedestrian accident lawyer can help explore compensation through uninsured motorist coverage or other legal avenues. When the driver is located, the attorney can pursue claims against them directly, ensuring accountability for both the accident and the decision to flee the scene.
