Finding a Rhode Island Attorney That Will Get You the Compensation You Deserve

By Terry Lancie


Having an experienced Rhode Island car accident attorney is very important if you have been involved in a vehicular accident in Rhode Island.

Despite important car and road improvements, car accidents still remain a leading cause of injury and death in Rhode Island. If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident, then we highly recommend that you meet with a Rhode Island car accident attorney.

When it comes to car accidents, the party at fault is typically not the people who have been injured. Of course not all car crashes will result in litigation. Accidents in which there are no injuries or minor injuries can sometimes be resolved directly with driver's car insurance company.

Litigation is necessary when there are major industries and death..

Often times the accident may not be your fault at all. If you have suffered injuries from an accident, or had a member of your family die as a result of an accident, having a Rhode Island car accident attorney working for you can help you find the legal justice that you and your family deserve.

Most Rhode Island citizens do not know how devastating a vehicular accident can be until they themselves are involved in a car crash. Both severe and minor car crashes, can create lasting health and financial consequences for all parties involved..

In Rhode Island, the vast majority of car accident related deaths are caused by roadway departures. A significant percentage of vehicular accident related deaths occur at intersections, while many others involve large and light trucks. A majority of these accidents are related to either alcohol, excessive speed or a combination of both. Having a Rhode Island car accident lawyer on your side can help tremendously under these scenarios.

However car accidents also affect pedestrians and bicyclists. Unfortunately pedestrians and bicyclists are killed and injured each year in Rhode Island, due to driver negligence.

Distractions and driver error remain as two of the top culprits leading to Rhode Island car accidents. In recent years cell phone use and text messaging leads to many car accidents that could be avoided. Poor weather also causes accidents, especially during the winter.

Vehicluar defects and blowouts also lead to numerous car crashes each year. Faulty car design and/or manufacturer defects can also cause injuries. Therefore some litigation cases are not filed against another driver, but are instead filed against the vehicle manufacturer or a particular governmental agency.

Even more specialized litigation cases emerge in hit and run incidents, car-pedestrian accidents, bus accidents, motorcycle to car accidents and vehicular crashes caused by road debris. These types of crashes all too often result in devastating consequences for victims.

Recently, the state of Rhode Island has approved laws aimed at reducing drunk driving and boosting seat belt usage. The state has also passed laws with the goal of further protecting innocent victims of car accidents.

It is important to contact a Rhode Island car accident attorney immediately after being involved in a serious car accident. Litigation is often the only way a family will receive the compensation they deserve following an injury or a death.

If you have been hurt by another driver's negligence, then be sure to contact a Rhode Island car accident attorney. At the Law Offices of Kevin P. Landry, we will protect your rights and help you get the financial compensation you may very well be entitled to receive.
