Rhode Island Personal Injury Laws

If you’ve been injured in Bristol County, it’s important to understand the basics of Rhode Island’s personal injury laws.

Statute of Limitations

Rhode Island generally gives injured victims three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline could mean losing your right to recover compensation.

Comparative Negligence Rule

Rhode Island follows a pure comparative negligence system. This means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the accident, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were found 20% at fault, your recovery would be reduced by 20%.
