Rhode Island Personal Injury Attorneys

Helping Those Who Have Suffered Catastrophic Injuries or the Wrongful Death of a Loved One

After a serious injury or the loss of a loved one, you deserve the best legal representation. The at-fault party should be held accountable, but you may face numerous obstacles along the way. From undervaluing claims to denying liability altogether, large corporations and insurance companies can make it almost impossible for an unrepresented claimant to secure a fair settlement. A Rhode Island personal injury lawyer will level the playing field so you can pursue the compensation you need to rebuild.

From our office in Providence, the team at Decof, Barry, Mega & Quinn, P.C. serves all people of Rhode Island in medical malpractice, birth injury, catastrophic injury, and a wide range of other personal injury and wrongful death cases. Since our establishment in 1975, we have had unparalleled success in holding individuals and corporations accountable for their negligence and wrongdoing. When you need help, Decof, Barry, Mega & Quinn will be with you from beginning to end.
