Motor Vehicle Accidents
No one who drives in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and throughout the region goes far before seeing the remains of recent vehicle accident. It is not uncommon to even get stuck in traffic because of a wreck or a fender bender. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 2.5 million drivers are injured each year in the U.S., and they cause a death every 12 to 15 minutes. While sometimes these are the result of mechanical malfunction or environmental factors, the more likely reason is driver error.
