Do You Have a Personal Injury Case?

If you've been in an accident—such as a car accident, construction accident, or slip and fall—and sustained injuries, you might wonder if you have a personal injury case. Here are the key factors to determine if you do:

• Injury: You must have a documented injury diagnosed and treated by a medical professional. Simply feeling pain isn't enough; formal medical documentation is required.
• Fault: The injury must be due to someone else's negligence. Even in Rhode Island, which follows comparative negligence rules, another party must be at least partially at fault for you to recover damages.
• Source of Recovery: There must be a financial source, such as insurance, to pay for any awarded damages.
• Timing: The incident must have occurred within the past three years. If more time has passed, your claim may no longer be valid due to the statute of limitations.
  

If these factors apply to your situation, you may have a viable personal injury case. We can help you seek compensation for your expenses and your pain and suffering after someone else has harmed you. Contact us today for your free case consultation.
