Common Causes of Highway Accidents in Warwick and Rhode Island

Highway accidents can happen in just a matter of seconds. It takes just a few seconds for a driver to look away from the road for a life-threatening accident to occur. Some of the most common causes of these accidents in our area include:

• Distracted driving: Using phones, eating, using navigational systems, holding pets, or dealing with children
• Drowsy driving: Especially late in the evening or early in the morning, due to the densely wooded areas
• Weather conditions: This includes snow, ice, and sleet, as well as high winds that can come through the area
• Reckless driving: Speeding, illegal lane changes, failing to yield the right of way, and other losses
• Vehicle defects: Poor maintenance, bad design, or poor manufacturing
• Impaired driving: The use of alcohol or drugs, including prescription or illicit drugs
• Wrong-way driving: Going the wrong way on one of the on-ramps or off-ramps
• Poor road conditions and visibility: This could be related to weather conditions, potholes, or poor signage

These are just some of the most common causes of highway driving accidents. What makes it more challenging is that these are high-speed roadways, meaning the injuries and losses you face are likely to be even more severe and debilitating. As a result, you deserve to have an advocate from our firm working for you.

Serious Injuries in Highway Accidents

The speed and force of impact can contribute to the risk of serious injuries for many people involved in a highway accident. Though every case is different, we strongly encourage you to seek medical care immediately after an accident, even if you feel okay. Underlying health complications are not uncommon. Some of the most serious injuries in these cases include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Broken bones with crushing injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Internal organ injuries
• Neck and back injuries
• Lacerations and soft tissue injuries
• Whiplash

If you were in an accident resulting in any of these injuries, seek full medical care, follow up with your care, and then contact our lawyer.

You do not want to settle your case until you know what all of your losses in these accidents will include. That includes the losses you have now and will have for years to come. Our client case results speak for themselves.

Types of Highway Accidents We Handle

The type of highway accident you are in can matter for your claim. We handle all types of accidents in which a victim suffers injuries and serious losses resulting from the negligence of another person, company, or community. Examples of some of the most common highway accidents include:

• Sideswipe accidents: Drivers do not check blind spots before merging, resulting in hitting the side of another car, which often occurs during lane changes
• Side-impact crashes: Most common at intersections and on-ramps, these accidents create serious damage to vehicles and life-threatening injuries.
• Single-vehicle crashes: These may occur when another driver swerves, animals enter the roadway, or drivers lose control due to road conditions.
• Rear-end collisions: If one driver fails to operate safely and strikes another from behind, especially common in road rage or tailgating incidents, that party could be at fault.
• Rollover accidents: These occur on highways, most commonly during high-speed impacts or loss of control.
• Multi-care pileups: Some of the most challenging cases are because they involve looking at every single incident; these are common on highways, especially in poor weather conditions.

If you are in any type of accident on a highway, take legal action right away. Though the Rhode Island statute of limitations (RI Gen. Laws § 9-1-14) gives you three full years to file a lawsuit, we want to act far sooner to get the money you need into your hands.

We encourage you to contact us immediately for a free consultation and seek all medical care recommended to you. Once you do, we will begin building a strong, evidence-based claim for you that fairly accounts for all the losses you have suffered.
