Personal Injury
If you are in need of a personal injury attorney, we can help. "Personal Injury" is a term that refers to injuries to the person and has special meaning in the legal context. The main category of personal injury cases is motor vehicle accidents. However, other types of personal injuries do occur. We are and have been the personal injury lawyer for hundreds of clients throughout RI and MA. By virtue of our background and roots in the insurance industry, we are well suited to understand, manage and litigate all personal injury claims.
Usually, personal injury cases in RI involve allegations of negligence against the defendant. However, sometimes, recovery for injured clients involves allegations of the law of products liability which includes duty to warn and as a personal injury attorney, we do represent clients in Rhode Island involved in those other types of cases.
Example cases:
Wrongful death resulting from fire. Accidental fire caused death of occupants of private home. Result: matter is ongoing.
Significant injury to foot. Client received significant laceration to his foot as a result of improper construction techniques. Result: matter is ongoing.
Significant back injury. Client sustained serious back injury requiring surgery at local home supply store when trying to lift heavy bag in garden department. Bag had been improperly stacked and staff did not render assistance in accordance with standards. Result: settlement of $225,000.
Believe nothing because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.
