From the moment I reached out, Rob Levine’s team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and empathy.

Are Car Accidents Common in Rhode Island?
A 2015 Gallup poll found Rhode Island residents were less satisfied with road conditions than residents of any other state, with only 31% offering positive responses. Rhode Island may be small, but its dense traffic and aging infrastructure create conditions that often lead to car accidents.
About 81% of all traffic deaths in Rhode Island happen in urban areas. While about 39% of Rhode Island residents live in Providence, Warwick, Cranston, and Pawtucket, the state’s four most populous cities accounted for 58% of all fatal pedestrian crashes.
However, Rhode Island is actually one of the safest states in the country for traffic crashes. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Ocean State had a rate of 0.69 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled in 2022, the lowest of any state. Rhode Island has also seen a 53% decrease in traffic deaths since 1975, second only to Washington, D.C., in that time frame. Still, traffic accidents are far too common.
What Are Common Causes of Car Accidents in Rhode Island?
Most car crashes result from driver error and are preventable with reasonable caution. Some common causes of Rhode Island car accidents include the following:
- Distracted driving
- Driving while intoxicated
- Speeding, traffic violations, or other reckless behaviors
- Narrow roads and tight intersections
- Summer tourist traffic
- Weather conditions, particularly in the winter
How Long Do You Have to File a Car Accident Claim in Rhode Island?
The statute of limitations for most personal injury cases in Rhode Island is three years after an accident, including for car crashes. While this is longer than many other states allow, it’s still important to get started on your case as soon as possible. Evidence disappears and memories fade. Taking quick action will enable you to build a stronger claim.
Our skilled Rhode Island car accident lawyers can help you find and gather evidence while it’s strongest, giving you the best chance at recovering compensation.
What Damages Can You Get Compensation for in a Rhode Island Car Accident Case?
Rhode Island car accident victims can recover a variety of economic and non-economic damages based on the impacts of their injuries. Economic damages cover financial losses with a specific dollar value, including the following:
- Lost income and future earning potential
- Medical bills
- Property damage and repair costs
Non-economic damages compensate for the more subjective impacts on your life, including:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD
- Loss of enjoyment
Missing the deadline to file your claim under the state statute of limitations can result in losing your chance to recover damages. Our trusted Rhode Island car accident attorneys can help you get started on your case today.
