Rhode Island Car Wreck

Auto accidents are the leading cause of fatality for people between the ages of 5 and 34. The National Highway Statistics Office reported that 32 % of fatal accidents are caused by drunk driving, 31% are due to speeding, and 16% result from drivers’ distractions. Data also reveal that every 12 minutes, someone dies in a car collision in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that in Massachusetts, car crash-related deaths cost $6 million in medical expenses, and almost $400 million in work losses, while medical costs amount to $1 million and work losses are at $78 million in Rhode Island. The costs include the damages caused, as well as the injuries sustained by the driver or the passengers. The costs are higher and the injuries are more severe when the collision results in total car wrecks. Proving who is at fault, what circumstances caused the collision, and how much victims should be compensated for are among the priorities of car wreck lawyers.

Car WreckCar wrecks cause too much damage and can cause devastating situations to the victims and their families. The victims suffer cuts, bruises, and broken limbs. Sometimes, they might have to have their arms or legs amputated and ultimately, if nothing can help them, they might even die. Car wreck lawyers assist the victims during this crucial point by helping them win the compensation that they rightfully deserve while dealing with the consequences of the accident. If a loved one passed away due to a car collision, car wreck attorneys can also help you by filing a wrongful death suit on behalf of the victim’s estate. Reputable and skilled car wreck lawyers provide the best options, making sure that their interests are protected.

In a negligence suit where the car wreck caused your life-changing injuries, an experienced attorney can help you get the compensation that you deserve. They will know how to determine and ask for an amount that includes your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. These are expenses that your insurance company would not compensate you for in the event of an accident. In a wrongful death suit against the party at fault in the accident, a competent car wreck attorney will help you get the amount of money that is as close as possible to the net value of that person’s life. Although no amount of money can compensate for the loss of a loved one, they can make living without him/her easier.
