A driver of a vehicle must use “reasonable care under the circumstances.” If you are the victim of a pedestrian injury due to a motor vehicle accident, you may be able to recover losses associated with the accident by hiring a personal injury attorney to represent you.
Proving negligence involves showing that the person who caused the pedestrian injury owed a duty to the pedestrian, that the person or entity failed to uphold that duty, that the failure to uphold the duty caused an accident, and that the accident caused a pedestrian injury.
For instance, in the case of a commercial property owner who failed to clean their sidewalk of ice or debris causing a pedestrian injury, or a driver failing to stop at a stop sign thereby causing a pedestrian injury, both are situations where proving negligence is necessary.

 Pedestrian Attorney and Personal Injury Lawyer
Everything from the time of day you are walking, to traffic patterns and location, can have an impact on the probability of a pedestrian accident. Pedestrians in large urban areas are the most susceptible to the risk of injuries from vehicles. Even in smaller urban areas, the risk of pedestrian injury by negligent motor vehicle drivers cannot be ignored or minimized.
Approximately 5,000 pedestrian deaths, and another 64,000 injuries per year, are caused by car accidents involving pedestrians.
Obtaining the advice and representation of a knowledgeable personal injury attorney or pedestrian accident lawyer is the best way to secure your rights if you are the victim of a pedestrian accident or injury.

Right to Representation
Insurance companies send representatives to the scenes of pedestrian accidents to interview witnesses, investigate, and report on the scene of the accident routinely. As a pedestrian injured in an accident, you deserve to have your rights preserved, and to have the benefit of competent legal counsel representing your best interests against the insurance company. Finding an outstanding pedestrian accident lawyer can mean the difference between recovering all of your losses, and being financially disabled from the accident indefinitely.
Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Automobile accidents are not the only way a pedestrian injury can occur. Some common types of accidents that can cause pedestrian injuries are
- Car accidents and hit and runs
- Being struck by falling debris
- Slip and falls
- Being struck by objects
The injuries resulting from these pedestrian accidents can include broken bones, paralysis, limb amputation, even brain injuries. If you are a pedestrian injured in an accident of any kind, you need to seek legal counsel immediately to help you recover the damages you are entitled to claim.

Additional Accident Information
Major Rhode Island Roadways:
Interstate 95: I-95: I-95 is the main north-south Interstate Highway on America’s east coast. In Rhode Island, I-95 travels from the Connecticut border near Westerly through Warwick and Providence and then on to the Massachusetts border in Pawtucket. Routes I-195 and I-295 (discussed below) are spurs of I-95.
Interstate 195: I-195: Travelling a combined 40.1 miles in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, I-195 leaves its junction with I-95 in Providence then heads east to a junction with I-495 and Route 25 on Massachusetts’ Cape Cod. The section of I-195 in downtown Providence is being replaced. The new route will lie just south of the Fox Point Hurricane Barrier.
Interstate 295: I-295: At a length of just 26.58 miles in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, I-295 is short but vital. From its southern terminus in Warwick, it forms an essential western beltway around Providence before ending to the north in Attleboro, Massachusetts. Plans are underway to supplement I-295 with an eastern beltway around Providence.
Other roadways where accidents typically happen in Rhode Island: Route 44, Route 6, Route 24, Route 1, Route 138, and Route 4
