- Medical malpractice, for injuries that result from a doctor or hospital’s negligence

- Dog bites that occur due to an owner’s carelessness
- Nursing home abuse and neglect due to inadequate care or mistreatment
- Wrongful death caused by another party’s negligence or wrongdoing
WHEN SHOULD I CALL A PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER IN RHODE ISLAND?
There are certain situations where you should consider reaching out to a personal injury lawyer:
- Severe Injuries: If you’ve sustained serious injuries that need extensive medical care and rehabilitation or might lead to a long-term disability.
- Disputed Liability: When the other party disputes their fault, or their insurance company is contesting accountability for the incident.
- Unclear Damage: If it’s challenging to ascertain the full scope of your damages, including future medical expenses or lost income potential.
- Government Entities: Cases involving government agencies or employees typically come with special rules and tighter deadlines.
- Wrongful Death: If you’ve experienced the loss of a loved one due to someone else’s negligence or intentional actions.
- Serious Vehicle Accidents: Especially incidents involving commercial vehicles, which often present complicated liability matters and significant damages.
- Premises Liability Cases: Situations like slip and fall accidents on business property, where proving negligence can be tricky.

How Do I Prove Negligence in a Rhode Island Personal Injury Claim?
There are several key factors to consider when determining if you have a valid personal injury claim in Rhode Island. A successful claim typically requires evidence that another party’s negligence or intentional actions caused your injuries and that you suffered damages as a result.
If, for example, you were injured in a car accident in RI or other type of accident, our personal injury lawyers here in RI need to prove four (4) things:
- The person at fault owed you a duty of care
- Drivers have a duty to operate their vehicles safely and follow traffic laws.
- Property owners have a duty to maintain reasonably safe premises for visitors.
- The person breached that duty
- If the other party failed to uphold their duty of care, leading to your injuries, you may have grounds for a valid claim.
- Their breach was the cause of your injury/injuries
- You will need to present evidence, such as medical records, witness statements, and expert testimony, to show that your injuries were a direct result of the other party’s negligence or wrongdoing.
- You suffered some type of loss from the accident
- Some examples of this would be medical expenses, lost wages, or property damage
- These damages must be quantifiable and directly related to the incident in question.
