WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF A PERSONAL INJURY?

A personal injury is a legal claim that refers to a physical, emotional, or psychological injury that a person suffers as a result of someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions.

WHAT IS OUR FEE?

We have a NO FEE GUARANTEE, which means we charge no fee unless we obtain a settlement or award. Payment is due only when our law firm secures a settlement or court award for you. We also pay for the costs incurred, such as for obtaining your police report, medical bills and reports, and court costs (if a lawsuit is filed).

WHAT’S MY CASE WORTH?

You may be able to recover compensation for any medical expenses related to your accident or injury, including your hospital stay, any medical tests you may need, or rehabilitative care. If your injury has affected your ability to work and earn a living, you may be able to recover compensation for your lost income. In many cases, victims may recover for their pain and suffering.

What Compensation Can I Get in a RI Personal Injury Claim?

When you are injured, it can be hard to fully understand the totality of your losses. You may underestimate expenses or forget to calculate intangible losses. Our lawyers know what losses to look for and how to determine the full value of these losses.

How Much Time Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in RI?

In both RI and MA, you have three (3) years from the date you were injured to file a claim before the statute of limitations expires. There are exceptions for minors and other types of people, such as those who are deemed incapacitated. In cases involving wrongful death, the statute of limitations is typically three years from the date of death rather than the date of the injury.
