Pedestrian Accidents in Rhode Island

Pedestrian accidents are a significant concern across Rhode Island, particularly in commercial areas like shopping centers and parking lots. Drivers may fail to notice pedestrians, become distracted, or misjudge distances, leading to serious collisions. Even

low-speed impacts can cause injuries, including fractures, sprains, and head trauma.

Pedestrians are especially vulnerable because vehicles provide little protection. Common injuries include broken bones, wrist and hand fractures from bracing for impact, and soft tissue damage such as sprains or strains. Head injuries can range from mild concussions to more severe trauma, while psychological effects like anxiety or PTSD may occur after a collision.
