Understanding Accident Litigation in RI

Personal injury in Rhode Island

The journey through accident litigation begins at the moment of injury. An act that injures another may give rise to a legal claim for damages, or compensation, from parties responsible for your injury.

Catastrophic injury claims are best pursued by a law firm with demonstrable success in accident litigation. A reputable firm will offer a free consultation to evaluate the merit of your case, and advise of possible legal options.

How our Providence, RI accident litigation attorneys can help develop your case

Gathering evidence, documents, and testimony will be a first and ongoing step throughout your accident litigation. In preparing a litigation plan for your case, we supply knowledge gleaned from decades of successful personal injury cases to support your accident litigation.

As part of your case, you can expect our firm will be in contact with attorneys or representatives for parties believed to be responsible for your injury. Personal injury suits require the finding of negligence, a technical term proving there was a failure to use reasonable care that caused your injury. With an injury inflicted by machine or faulty product, there must be a finding of strict liability, shifting focus, and fault, from negligence to the defective object itself, and the party responsible for manufacturing it.

Accident litigation changes and progresses over time. Settlement negotiations may give way to a trial setting, usually before a jury, that will involve the filing of documents to discover information and carry the matter, with the help of Decof & Decof, to its successful conclusion.
