I-95 Warwick, Rhode Island High-Speed and Multi-Car Accident
Did you know that one of the most common reasons for car accidents is distracted driving? This includes motor vehicle operators on their cell phones, driving under the influence, or even curious drivers that witness a collision on the side of the road.
One afternoon, our retired client was traveling on I-95 South in Warwick, Rhode Island as traffic slowed. Unfortunately, the driver behind our client was not paying attention to his surroundings and failed to slow down. Within seconds, the reckless driver slammed into our client, causing a high-speed, rear-end auto accident.

The impact of the car crash pushed our client across multiple lanes of traffic, where other vehicles struck him.
There was a total of 5 vehicles involved in this collision. Air bags deployed in our client’s vehicle. The vehicle needed to be towed from the scene of the accident. Our client suffered from a concussion with lacerations all over his body. Paramedics arrived at the scene and rushed our client to Kent Hospital.
Accident Results in Ruptured Spleen and Brain Bleed
Our client’s vehicle was totaled. The vehicle sustained substantial damages to its front, rear, and both front passenger and drivers’ sides. This is typical when distracted drivers hit our clients, forcing them to sustain damage from multiple vehicles from different directions. He was lucky to be alive.
He was not only suffering from physical personal injuries, but suffering from anxiety and trauma from the car accident too.
Our client was transferred from Kent Hospital to Rhode Island Hospital for emergency surgery and after surgery. He suffered from personal injuries to his head, including a brain bleed. Additionally, the accident caused him a ruptured spleen, broken ribs, and numbness in his legs and knees.
At our personal injury law firm, we are available at all hours, because car accidents happen at all hours. In this case, his family was smart to text us right away.
Our team listened as he discussed his stress and anxiety, in addition to his physical pain. The last thing he wanted to do was worried about the insurance companies, hospital, and other medical billing companies! We took on that burden so that he could focus on his recovery.
Our client was discharged several weeks after being admitted at Rhode Island Hospital. Our investigators worked diligently during those few weeks. Namely, to make sure that each vehicle involved in the accident was placed on notice that we would be helping our client with his personal injury claim and getting the at-fault insurance company to accept liability.
Notably, our investigator, Matthew, found a dash cam video from one of the witnesses that showed the entire accident. This helped put the distracted driver at fault with no excuses!

Rear-end collisions are one of the most common types of car accidents that occur on the highway, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Rear-end accident statistics reported an estimate of roughly 1.7 million rear-end collisions that took place in the United States last year alone. This resulted in approximately 1,700 deaths and another 500,000 personal injuries.
