Car accidents are a leading cause of injury and death in the U.S. Thankfully, Rhode Island had the lowest number of vehicular deaths in the U.S. in 2022, but the families of 59 people are still left to grieve the loss of a loved one. Hundreds more faced a painful recovery and possibly long-term effects after a car wreck.
Urban congestion, high speeds, and difficult lane changes combine to make I-95 one of the most dangerous roadways in Providence and in Rhode Island. I-295, on the outskirts of Providence, is another particularly dangerous roadway. The Providence Place Mall, the Statehouse, Thurbers Avenue… all have more than their share of car collisions.
If you were injured, or a loved one died as a result of a Providence car crash or truck accident, or the collision of a car with a bike or pedestrian, contact the law office of Brian Cunha & Associates or call 401-434-5300.
Without an attorney protecting your interests, you could find your claim for compensation delayed or reduced.
Ensuring Full and Fair Compensation
It’s in the interest of the auto insurance company to try to settle as cheaply as possible. Sometimes that means a quick settlement offer for less than your case is truly worth. Sometimes it means delays and denials that wear you down. Before you sign any legal form waiving your legal rights, talk to a Providence car accident injury lawyer so you know exactly what you are doing.
Regardless of how serious your injuries are, you only have one opportunity to get the compensation you need. Once you accept the settlement offer, it’s done. And that’s fine if the settlement you received is equal to your injuries and losses. But some people will suffer lifelong consequences from a serious injury:
- A closed head injury or a traumatic brain injury
- A neck injury, back injury or spinal cord injury
- Loss of a limb
Brian Cunha & Associates has been challenging the anti-consumer practices of the insurance industry for more than 25 years. Thousands of car crash victims have turned to us for help when the negligence of another changed their lives for the worse.
A Thorough Investigation of Your Car Accident
The sooner you call a personal injury lawyer, the sooner we can investigate the cause of your car accident before evidence disappears. We may use the services of an accident reconstructionist to explore the location and the vehicles involved in the crash.
- Were there vehicle defects at play that caused or contributed to the accident, like defective tires?
- Were there vehicle part defects that caused or worsened injuries, like faulty airbags or defective seatbelts?
- If a big-rig or 18-wheeler was involved, was it overloaded? Was the load properly secured? Was the driver overly tired? Was the rig properly maintained?
Our attorneys have handled thousands of car accident cases over the years. Attorney Brian Cunha has obtained hundreds of millions of dollars for his clients. He did that by using experts when needed to prove a claim. And by fighting hard for a fair and full settlement for every client.
