What To Expect During Your Initial Consultation
We offer free and confidential consultations with our Newport, RI, personal injury lawyers. During the consultation, we’ll give you time to explain what happened from your perspective. Our attorneys will listen and ask questions to gather as much information as possible about your case. We will also review any evidence you have, such as medical records, accident reports, or witness statements.
After we’ve gathered the information from you, we’ll discuss your legal options. Our attorneys will tell you whether we believe you have a strong case. If so, we’ll explain the potential outcomes of each option and recommend how to proceed. If we move forward with representing you, our services are free until you win your case.
How Long Do I Have To File a Personal Injury Claim?
In most cases, you must file a personal injury claim in Rhode Island within three years of the date you were injured. This deadline is called the statute of limitations. Wrongful death claims in Rhode Island also have a three-year statute of limitations starting from the date of death.
If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation for your injuries. When you turn to Rob Levine Law after an injury, we’ll build a strong case quickly to avoid missing your case’s deadline.
Additionally, quick action may allow you to get your compensation sooner. Issues can arise after filing and prolong the time it takes to receive a settlement. Filing a claim as soon as possible gets the ball rolling so you can get the compensation you need to move forward with your life. It also prevents evidence from fading and potentially weakening your case.
What Compensation Is Available in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
You can seek compensation for any damages resulting from your injury. These include economic damages, which are financial losses with an obvious dollar value. Common economic damages in a personal injury case include:
- Past, current, and future medical expenses
- Lost wages for missed work during your recovery
- Lost earning capacity for the injury’s long-term impact on your ability to work
- Disability-related equipment and home or vehicle modifications
- Travel expenses for medical appointments
Your compensation may also include non-economic damages that compensate for the more subjective impacts on your life, such as the following:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
Punitive damages are also available in rare cases. They exist to punish the defendant for extreme recklessness or intentional harm. Most personal injury cases don’t qualify for punitive damages, but they can significantly increase your compensation if you’re eligible.
Why You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer
Liability insurance exists to compensate victims when someone else’s negligence causes their injury. However, getting this compensation is often harder than you’d expect. Insurance companies use a variety of tactics to convince victims to settle for less money than they deserve. A Newport personal injury lawyer helps level the playing field and advocate for fair compensation.
You can benefit from our attorneys’ knowledge of the legal system and insurance companies’ tactics. We’ll be a buffer between you and the insurance company, so adjusters can’t take advantage of you. We know what to expect at every stage of the legal process and the strategies that work in negotiations and at trial. Our personalized approach means we’ll get to know your unique story and build a strong case that reflects the full extent of your damages.

Personal Injury FAQs
Here are our answers to common questions from personal injury victims in Newport.
What Should I Do Immediately After an Accident?
Do the following immediately after a car accident to protect your right to fair compensation:
- Call 911. Make sure the police come to the scene so you can get an official accident report.
- Get medical attention as soon as possible, even if you don’t feel injured.
- Take photos of the accident scene, including all the vehicles involved and any visible injuries.
- Get contact, insurance, and license plate information from anyone involved in the accident, including witnesses.
- Report the accident to your insurance company, but don’t go into detail without an attorney.
- Contact a Newport personal injury lawyer for further guidance.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer in Newport Cost?
It costs nothing upfront to hire our personal injury lawyers. We work on a contingency fee basis, so you only pay us if you win. Our fees are a percentage of your total award, so you don’t have to worry about any out-of-pocket legal fees.
Can I Still File a Claim If I Was Partially at Fault?
Yes, you may still be eligible for personal injury compensation if you were partially at fault. Under Rhode Island’s pure comparative negligence law, you can receive compensation even if you’re found mostly at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your share of the fault.

I am beyond satisfied with how Atty Daniel Le Clair handled my case and the end result was beyond anything I could have expected.
He kept me updated throughout the process and was very fast in replying to any questions I had. Hopefully I won’t need his services again, but if I do, I won’t hesitate to reach out to him and his office again.

I think every veteran should work with this firm.
After all these years and all this time, finally, a person and a firm will stand by me. Jairo Manchola was a complete professional and answered all my questions. I feel like I have a coach in my corner to take on the monster known as Veterans Affairs. I look forward to working with Rob Levine Law in the near future and helping me get the compensation I deserve and fought for. Once again, thank you, Jairo, for making this very easy and non-drama.
