How Is a Warwick Car Accident Case Valued?
How much compensation you are entitled to for your case will depend on several factors. Typically, a party injured in a car accident that was not their fault may receive compensation to cover medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering. Our experienced attorneys will prevent insurance companies from trying to undercompensate you and will ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve. Read more
Can I Be Compensated for Property Damage?
In addition to receiving compensation for the personal injury you suffered, you may also be entitled to compensation for the damage to your vehicle. To get the appropriate amount needed to repair your car, it is advised that you have the claims adjuster meet with your auto body repair mechanic. Because the mechanic will be the one fixing your car, they are in the best position to accurately estimate the cost of fixing the damage. The mechanic will then be able to negotiate your claim with the adjuster and help you to avoid being undercompensated by the insurance company. Read more
How Long Do I Have to File a RI Car Accident Claim?
In Rhode Island, the statute of limitations for most car accident personal injury cases is three (3) years. This means that you have three years from the time of your injury to file suit against the at-fault party. But don’t wait! Getting in contact with an experienced car accident lawyer as soon as possible gives your attorney more time to investigate your case and maximize the compensation you receive.
What If the Other Driver Doesn’t Have Insurance?
If the at-fault driver in your accident does not have insurance or fled the scene of the accident, you may be entitled to uninsured motorist benefits from the insurance for the vehicle you were in at the time of your injury. Your insurance company typically cannot raise your rates for your property damage and personal injuries claims if you were not the at-fault party. Read more
What Do I Say to My Insurance Company?
- Contact your insurance agent as soon as you can after your accident.
- Answer their questions honestly and tell your agent about the details of your accident. Be sure to provide them with the contact and insurance information for the other parties involved in the accident.
- Look over your insurance policy to see what coverage you carry, and what claims you could file. An experienced Warwick car accident attorney can help you through this process.
- Keep all the paperwork related to your accident, including medical bills, vehicle repair receipts, and any other bills.
- We recommend that you do not talk to the other party’s insurance until you have spoken to a knowledgeable RI car accident attorney. If you do speak with the opposing party’s insurance, be aware that what you say may be used against you to minimize your compensation. Do not discuss the details of the accident, do not agree to any settlement offers until your treating doctor has cleared you, and do not sign any insurance waivers.
