Frequently Asked Questions from Pedestrian Accident Victims in Cranston
Straight answers, no legalese. Still have a question? A real person answers, day or night.
Call 911 immediately to get Cranston Police on the scene and obtain medical care. Do not move if you may have spinal injuries. Document everything with photos if you are able, and get contact information from witnesses before they leave.
Even if you were not in a marked crosswalk, Rhode Island law requires drivers to exercise reasonable care to avoid striking pedestrians. Under the state’s pure comparative negligence rule, you can still recover compensation even with partial fault; your award is simply reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
The at-fault driver’s insurance is typically the primary source of compensation. Your own auto insurance policy’s uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may also apply. If the driver fled the scene, your UM coverage is often your primary remedy.
Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage can provide compensation when the at-fault driver lacks adequate insurance. Our attorneys will identify every available source of recovery for your injuries.
Three years from the date of the accident. However, you should act immediately — surveillance footage from Cranston intersections gets overwritten quickly and witnesses’ memories fade fast.
Yes. Rhode Island’s pure comparative negligence law means you can recover damages even if you shared some responsibility. Your total award is simply reduced by your percentage of fault.
