Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a car accident lawsuit in Rhode Island?
In Rhode Island, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is called the statute of limitations. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation.
Do I need a lawyer for a minor car accident in Tiverton?
Even for minor accidents, a lawyer can help ensure you receive fair compensation for medical bills or lost wages. Rhode Island law requires you to report any accident with injury or property damage over one thousand dollars to the police. A lawyer can handle that paperwork.
How does Rhode Island handle shared fault in a car accident?
Rhode Island uses a modified comparative fault rule. If you are found to be less than 51 percent at fault, you can still recover damages, but your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are 51 percent or more at fault, you cannot recover anything.
