Every year there are approximately 60,000 pedestrian fatalities in the Untied States and more than 110,000 pedestrian injuries. Many of these fatalities and injuries are caused by negligent and dangerous drivers. At the Law Offices of James P. Howe, we hold the guilty party legally responsible for the damages they have caused. Call our convenient  Rhode Island Law Office at (401) 272-3900 to speak to an experienced Rhode Island pedestrian accident injury lawyer.

In the United States driving is a privilege, not a right. Drivers must obey the law and use caution while operating their vehicle, which includes observing pedestrians and people riding bicycles. Injures sustained by pedestrians may be very serious and might include permanent physical injures. Some injuries that may result from a pedestrian accident are:

Brain injury
Bone fractures
Coma
Paralysis

Following a pedestrian accident you should contact an aggressive pedestrian accident injury lawyer to begin the legal process. When drivers injure pedestrians or bicyclists they must be punished and should have to compensate the victim for all accident-related costs. Medical costs relating to a pedestrian accident can be very expensive, and include hospital bills, loss of wages, and visits to medical specialists.

If you or a family member suffered from a pedestrian accident and would like more information concerning your legal rights, please contact us. Call James P. Howe for an immediate free evaluation of your potential case.
