Misconceptions about Accident Lawsuits

Accident lawsuits in Providence, RI, and MA

There are few areas of law that give rise to more misunderstandings than personal injury. From get-rich-quick schemes to legitimate fears of physical and financial ruin, understanding both the advantages and real limitations of an accident lawsuit in Providence, RI is essential.

As the largest practice in Rhode Island dedicated to plaintiff's cases, Decof & Decof is a respected firm that works aggressively to protect and present the legal rights of those injured throughout Providence and Rhode Island.

Founded on professionalism, integrity, and excellence, we strive to serve both our clients and the greater community as advocates for our legal system. Reflect on these common misconceptions if you are considering a Providence, RI accident lawsuit:

• * An accident lawsuit in Providence, RI is expensive and I cannot afford it:

  For the catastrophically injured, an accident lawsuit may obtain fair compensation to cover medical costs, pain and suffering, lost wages, or other expenses. Trustworthy personal injury attorneys offer clients a contingency fee arrangement, meaning you pay no legal fees unless a verdict or settlement is obtained on your behalf.

• * All accident lawsuits are decided by jury verdict:

  While it is true that many Providence, RI accident lawsuits go to trial, it is far more common for cases to be settled out of court, sometimes before or during a jury trial. Excelling in court and at the negotiation table, Decof & Decof has achieved more than $500 million in negotiated settlements and verdicts for their clients, including Rhode Island’s largest personal injury verdict.

• * Filing an accident lawsuit guarantees a million-dollar settlement:

  Many factors go into the calculation of fair compensation for injury or wrongful death. Not all cases are strong, and each matter is unique. An experienced attorney can assist you in evaluating the potential value of your claim.

Decades of experience and a winning compensation record have earned our firm a reputation for providing responsible and compassionate service to clients in areas such as personal injury, medical and professional malpractice, and vehicle, aircraft, and construction accidents. If you have been injured, we can help. When you need us, just call.
