What Could Have Caused Your Car Accident?
Many factors can contribute to a car crash, and identifying the cause is key to building a strong personal injury claim. Our lawyers can investigate your accident to determine what went wrong and who is responsible.
Some of the most common causes of car accidents include:
- Distracted driving: Texting, talking on the phone, or eating behind the wheel takes a driver’s attention away from the road.
- Impaired driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol, illicit drugs, or prescription medication can affect a driver’s judgment.
- Speeding: Exceeding the posted speed limit, especially on long-stretch roads like West Main Road, can reduce the time a driver has to react to danger.
- Aggressive driving: Tailgating, weaving through traffic, or other aggressive behavior can increase accident risk.
- Poor road conditions: Large potholes, faded lane markings, and poor lighting make roads more dangerous. In tight spaces like Thames Street, limited room to maneuver can make even a minor distraction dangerous.
- Vehicle defects: Mechanical failures like faulty brakes or worn-out tires can cause drivers to lose control of their vehicles.
- Weather conditions: Fog, heavy rain, and snow reduce visibility and increase the likelihood of skidding.
What Should You Do Following Being Involved in a Newport Car Accident?
First, stay calm. It can help you make the right decisions for your health and potential legal claim.
Here’s how to protect yourself after a car crash in Newport:
- Get to safety: If it’s safe to do so, move your vehicle off the road onto a shoulder or nearby parking lot. Staying in traffic on a busy road like J.T. Connell Highway can put you at risk of additional collisions.
- Call 911: Request police and emergency medical services, even if the accident seems minor.
- Get immediate medical attention: Your health is the top priority. Even if you don’t think you’ve been injured, have a doctor evaluate your condition. Many injuries are not immediately apparent. In addition, medical treatment will document your damages.
- Document the scene: Take clear photos of the vehicles, license plates, road conditions, and any visible injuries. If anyone witnessed the crash, write down their names and contact information.
- Notify your insurer: Notify your insurance company about the accident as soon as you can. Provide only basic details about the collision’s time and location, and avoid admitting fault.
- Consult a lawyer: Contact our car wreck lawyers in Newport before you accept a settlement offer. We can explain your legal options and guide you through your next steps.
Common Injuries Sustained From Car Accidents
Car accident injuries can range from mild to fatal, and all are capable of disrupting lives. Here are some of the most common injuries we see after car crashes in Newport:
- Whiplash: Sudden, back-and-forth movement of the neck can damage soft tissues, causing pain and stiffness.
- Broken bones: Fractures in the arms, legs, ribs, or pelvis are common in high-impact crashes.
- Concussions and traumatic brain injuries: A blow to the head or sudden jolt can cause serious brain injuries. These injuries often carry lasting cognitive and emotional effects.
- Spinal cord injuries: Damage to the spine may result in chronic pain, limited mobility, or even paralysis.
- Internal injuries: The force of a crash can damage organs such as the liver, spleen, or lungs.
- Emotional trauma: Many victims develop anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder after a traumatic car accident.
- Wrongful death: Some accidents have fatal consequences. In these tragic cases, surviving family members may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim.
What Compensation Could You Be Entitled To?
We can help you seek compensation for any losses you’ve suffered due to your car crash. You may be entitled to different kinds of economic and non-economic damages, including:
- Medical expenses for all treatments related to the accident, including hospitalizations, surgeries, doctor’s appointments, medications, and rehabilitation

- Lost earning capacity for the injury’s impact on your ability to work in the future
- Disability-related expenses, such as long-term care or home modifications

Newport Car Accident FAQs
You probably have many questions about your rights and options after a car crash. The following are our answers to common questions from victims and their families in Newport.
How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim in Newport?
Rhode Island’s personal injury statute of limitations is three years. That means you must file a claim within three years of the date you were injured.
Should I Speak to the Other Driver’s Insurance Company?
Avoid speaking to the other driver’s insurance company until you have a lawyer. If you talk to the adjusters without representation, you may inadvertently say something that hurts your case. Our Newport car accident attorneys can communicate with the insurers on your behalf and protect you from their tactics.
How Long Will It Take To Resolve My Car Accident Claim in Newport?
The timeline varies from case to case. Your claim may settle in a few months or take more than a year to resolve.
What if I Feel Fine But Was Involved in a Car Accident?
See a doctor even if you don’t feel any pain or discomfort. Some car accident injuries have delayed symptoms. Prompt medical attention creates a paper trail that helps prove the link between your injuries and the crash.
Do I Need a Lawyer for My Car Accident Claim in Newport?
You aren’t legally required to hire a lawyer. However, having a lawyer on your side can significantly improve your chances of recovering fair compensation.
