- Over $2 billion recovered for injury and disability cases including:
- Attorney Scott Tierney who secured a $950,000 settlement for the family of a client who was tragically killed in a head-on collision while riding his motorcycle on Lonsdale Avenue in Pawtucket. The defendant failed to yield, crashing directly into our client. Despite emergency surgery efforts at Rhode Island Hospital’s trauma center, the client sadly passed away from his injuries. Rob Levine Law represented his 12-year-old son, securing an immediate lump-sum payment and arranging structured monthly payments for 10 years to support his future once he reached adulthood.
- Attorney Derrin Almada who secured a $500,000 settlement for the family of a client who was tragically struck and killed while crossing Pawtucket Avenue in East Providence. Our office pursued the full policy limits to ensure the family received the justice and compensation they deserved during this incredibly difficult time.
- Attorney Derrin Almada who secured a $300,000 settlement for a client who was T-boned while riding his motorcycle. The defendant pulled out of a parking lot and struck our client, throwing him from the motorcycle and causing him to slam his head on the ground. He was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. Our office recovered $240,000 for the client and an additional $60,000 for a loss of consortium claim on behalf of his spouse, securing the full policy limits.
- Attorneys Scott Tierney, Michael Gardiner, and Mindy Montecalvo secured an $8 million settlement for a teenage client who suffered catastrophic injuries during a supervised outing at a local amusement center while residing in a group home. Our team held the group home, its placement agency, and the amusement center accountable for failing to protect our client, exposing multiple layers of negligence. After rejecting low settlement offers and demanding $45 million in mediation, we reached a resolution that will help ensure lifelong care and stability for our client.

What Is Wrongful Death?
Wrongful death refers to a death caused by the negligence or wrongful act of another person or entity. Whether the cause is a motor vehicle accident, medical malpractice, or a hazardous workplace, wrongful death claims allow families to seek compensation for their losses.
If your loved one’s death was the result of someone else’s carelessness or misconduct, you may have grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit. Contact our wrongful death claim lawyers to understand your rights and options.
Common Causes of Wrongful Death
Wrongful death can result from many different types of accidents and situations. At Rob Levine Law, we represent clients whose loved ones have died due to:
- Car accidents, including hit-and-run or uninsured driver accidents
- Truck accidents, involving semi-trucks or commercial vehicles
- Medical malpractice, including surgical errors or misdiagnoses
- Workplace accidents, including construction injuries, toxic exposure, and more
- Defective products, causing fatal injuries or accidents
- Slip and fall accidents leading to fatal injuries
If any of these sound familiar, you may have grounds to file a wrongful death claim. These cases can occur in residential, commercial, or public settings, anywhere where negligence or misconduct led to a preventable death.
Who Can Be Held Responsible in a Wrongful Death Claim?
Wrongful death claims are typically filed against the person or entity responsible for the death. This could be an individual, a company, or even a government agency, depending on the situation.
In order to hold someone accountable for wrongful death, we must prove that:
- The responsible party was negligent or acted recklessly
- Their actions directly caused the death
- The surviving family members have suffered financially and emotionally as a result
Our team will gather evidence, work with experts, and build a strong case to help you recover compensation for funeral expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
New England Families Deserve Justice
In New England, accidents that lead to wrongful death happen far too often. Whether due to poor road conditions, dangerous working environments, or negligent healthcare, families are left to cope with a loss that could have been prevented. At Rob Levine Law, we believe that property owners, businesses, and negligent parties should be held accountable when their actions or inactions cause death.

FAQs About Wrongful Death
How do I prove negligence in a wrongful death case?
You must show that the responsible party’s actions directly caused the death. Evidence such as photos, witness statements, medical records, and expert testimony can help support your claim.
How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim in New England?
How is compensation determined in a wrongful death case?
Compensation in a wrongful death case is determined based on various factors, including the financial losses resulting from the death (such as lost wages and benefits), the emotional suffering of the surviving family members, funeral and burial expenses, and the loss of companionship. Each case is unique, and our experienced attorneys will work closely with you to evaluate all aspects of your loss to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Can a wrongful death claim be filed if the deceased had a pre-existing medical condition?
Yes, a wrongful death claim can still be filed if the deceased had a pre-existing medical condition. The key factor is whether the defendant’s actions or negligence contributed to or accelerated the death. If it can be proven that the defendant’s conduct was a substantial factor in the death, the claim may proceed.
Can a wrongful death claim be filed if the deceased was partially at fault?
Yes, in many jurisdictions, a wrongful death claim can still be filed if the deceased was partially at fault, depending on the degree of fault and the state’s comparative negligence laws. Some states allow recovery if the deceased was less than 50% at fault, while others may bar recovery if the deceased was more than 50% at fault. It’s crucial to consult with an attorney to understand how these laws apply in your state.
