Steps to Take After a Personal Injury in South Kingstown

The steps you take immediately after an injury can affect your potential legal options. Here’s an overview of recommended actions for different types of personal injury cases:

After a Motor Vehicle Accident

These steps can help you protect your rights after a car accident:

Call 911. Wait for the police to arrive and create an accident report. Allow emergency medical personnel to check for injuries. Clear the roadway if it’s safe to do so while you wait for help.
Tell the police officer what happened from your perspective. Don’t speculate or admit fault. The accident report will include any details you share with the officer.
Document the accident scene. Photograph the vehicles, road conditions, and your injuries. Gather insurance information from the people involved in the accident and get witnesses’ contact details.
Inform your insurance company about the accident. Provide only limited details until you consult with an attorney.
Seek medical attention immediately, even if you think you’re uninjured. It can take days for certain car accident injury symptoms to appear. A quick diagnosis can later help prove that the accident caused your injuries.

After a Workplace Injury

Do the following after an injury at work to improve your chances of recovering fair compensation:

Call 911 if you have a serious injury or the injury is linked to a potential crime, such as assault.
Report the accident to your supervisor or human resources department.
Document the scene by taking photos of related hazards and writing down your memory of the accident.
Get immediate medical attention. Your employer may require you to see a doctor from a list of approved physicians.
Contact a workers’ compensation attorney to discuss your next steps.

After an Injury on Someone Else's Property

If you suffered another type of injury, such as a slip and fall, you may have a case against a negligent property owner. Take these steps to protect your rights:

Call 911 if you’re seriously injured.
Report the injury to the property manager or owner and get a copy of their incident report.
Document the scene. Take photos of hazards that may have caused your injury and get witnesses’ contact information.
Seek prompt medical attention.
Contact a personal injury lawyer for a free consultation about your legal options.

How Long Do I Have To File a Personal Injury Claim?

Under Rhode Island’s personal injury statute of limitations, you must file a personal injury claim within three years of the injury date in most cases. A wrongful death claim over a loved one’s death must be filed within three years of the date of death.

If you miss the deadline, you may be unable to seek compensation for your losses. Consulting a personal injury lawyer immediately after your injury is one of the best ways to avoid missing your case’s deadline.

Prompt action can also help you resolve your case sooner. Many issues can arise after filing a claim and delay your case’s progress. The sooner you file a personal injury claim, the less likely these complications will become major setbacks. Evidence can also fade over time, so the earlier you start to take action, the easier it may be to prove.

What Damages Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

You can seek compensation for any economic or non-economic damages you sustain because of your injury.

Economic damages are financial losses with an obvious dollar value. Your economic damages may include:

Past and future medical expenses
Lost wages for the work you missed while recovering
Lost earning capacity for the injury’s long-term impact on the work you can perform
Disability-related expenses, such as home modifications and assistive devices

Non-economic damages 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 available in rare cases. These exist to punish the at-fault party rather than compensate you for any specific losses. Rhode Island reserves punitive damages for cases involving extreme recklessness or intentional harm.

Personal Injury FAQs

Here are our answers to some common questions from people facing injuries in South Kingstown:

What If the At-Fault Party Doesn’t Have Insurance?

Other forms of compensation may be available if the at-fault party doesn’t have insurance. If you were injured in an auto accident, your uninsured motorist coverage may cover some of your damages. You may also sue the at-fault party directly if they have enough assets.

What If I Was Partially At Fault?

You can still receive compensation if you were partially at fault for your injury in Rhode Island. According to the state’s pure comparative negligence law, your compensation will be reduced by your share of the fault. For example, if your case is worth $100,000 and you’re 10 percent at fault, your compensation will be reduced to $90,000.

They set the standard!!!

More than anything, Rob Levine Law are honest and transparent in their dealings with potential clients. They will let you know, up front, what everyone will expect and benefit from the legal assistance they will provide. If they cannot help you, they will let you know right away and not string you along or waste your time. Mr. Simon Kelly was exceptional. He was thorough, expedient, and courteous. He gave me timely feedbacks that immediately build trust and a sense of being in the right hands. I know that Rob Levine Law are and will continue to be a valuable asset to U.S. military personnel and U.S Military Vets that are not always treated fairly by the VA or given what they are due after diligently serving the country in a military capacity. Try Rob Levine Law. I searched for honest attorneys and found them. Engage them, hire them, use them! You’ll be pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed working with them. Most importantly, I was comfortable and confident in their midst. There should be more firms in the legal profession like them. Doc Chibby.
