Below we have prepared a brief summary of the RI auto accident laws for your personal use. If you have any questions or need legal representation please do not hesitate to contact us.
Although there is no personal injury protection or PIP in Rhode Island, you can collect medical payments coverage if available from the automobile you were in during the accident, however the medical payments money paid is a lien and must be paid back from the proceeds of the liability settlement.
You may also be able to collect temporary disability insurance (TDI), from the State of Rhode Island if you were employed in Rhode Island and will have lost wages.
Bodily Injury To Others
Every insured automobile in Rhode Island has a minimum coverage of $25,000/$50,000. This means the insurance company will pay up to $25,000 to each injured person, but no more than $50,000 total for each accident. Some automobiles have coverage with much higher limits.
Only the insurance company for the person at fault pays under this coverage. This coverage compensates you for lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering and mental anguish.
The insurance company will pay you under bodily injury for any injury that is directly caused by the negligence of another driver.
Unlike in Massachusetts, there is no minimal requirement that your medical bills exceed $2,000.
Uninsurance and Underinsurance
If you are injured by an uninsured automobile, you can collect uninsured benefits from the automobile you were in at the time of the accident. You may also collect from your own automobile or from policies of automobiles owned by your household members.
If the negligent party does not have enough insurance coverage to compensate you for your losses, you can collect underinsurance benefits first from the automobile you were in during the accident. You may also collect additional underinsurance benefits from your own automobile, or from automobiles owned by your household members. These policies may be added together, or “stacked”, under certain conditions.
Other Benefits
You may qualify for additional benefits such as workers’ compensation, if you were in the course of your employment at the time of the accident, or disability payments if you have disability insurance coverage. You may also qualify for payment of your home mortgage, automobile loan, or life insurance premiums if you have the applicable coverage. You should check to see if you have any other coverage, in addition to your automobile insurance coverage.
