    Newport Personal Injury FAQs

    How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?

    Rhode Island law allows for compensation for a personal injury claim when the accident occurs because of the negligence of another party. In cases of defective products, the company that produces the defective product may be strictly liable for the accident regardless of how the injury occurs. To determine if you have a strong personal injury claim, you compare the elements of a civil negligence claim to the facts in your unique circumstance. The best way to determine whether you have a case is to discuss your case in-depth with an experienced Newport personal injury lawyer.

    What can I recover in a Newport, Rhode Island personal injury claim?

    In a Newport, Rhode Island personal injury claim, you can recover for your financial losses and an additional amount for physical and emotional trauma. Your financial losses include any way that you have expenses or lost income because of your injuries. In some cases, like future medical expenses or future earnings, your damages may not be immediately clear. An experienced attorney can help you work to fully value your financial damages.

    Pain and suffering compensation applies in all personal injury cases. The amount that you can recover in pain and suffering depends on your personal injuries. You must prove the value of your pain and suffering damages by showing the severity of your injuries, the permanence of your injuries, and how your lifestyle has been interrupted by the accident.

    Is my Newport, Rhode Island case going to go to trial?

    Only a small minority of Rhode Island personal injury cases go to trial. Usually, the parties reach a resolution without taking the case to trial. Of course, the stronger you build the evidence in your case, the more likely you are to resolve your case without a formal trial in front of a jury.

    One of the ways that our attorneys advocate for the benefit of our clients is by helping you understand when it’s best to accept a settlement and when you should take your case to trial. We work to build a strong case with the hopes of resolving your case in the most efficient manner.
