Providence Personal Injury Lawyers

If you’re hurt in an accident in Providence, your first priority should always be safety. Check yourself and anyone else involved for injuries. Even if you feel okay, contact 911 to report the incident and request medical assistance, as some injuries may take time to surface.

Follow the guidance of medical professionals at the scene or during any hospital visit, and be sure to complete all recommended treatment. Keep thorough records of every appointment, diagnosis, and expense related to your care. If your personal injury claim later proceeds to trial, this documentation can help establish the full extent of your damages and show that you took your recovery seriously. Most importantly, following through with treatment supports your healing and enables you to move forward after the accident.

At the scene of the accident, if you are able, use your phone to capture photos and videos of the accident scene, including vehicle damage, road conditions, visible injuries, traffic signals, and anything else that may be relevant to your case. Exchange contact and insurance information with the other party involved. Collect names, phone numbers, and statements from witnesses who saw the accident.

Next, file a police report. A police report is an official record of the incident, which can be critical evidence when filing your claim. Be truthful and stick to the facts when speaking to officers.

Then, report the accident to your insurer, being honest, but avoiding admitting fault or making any statements that could be used against you later.

Finally, speak to a personal injury lawyer at Morgan & Morgan. Contacting an experienced personal injury attorney right away can help protect your rights, gather evidence, and navigate the complexities of filing a claim. An attorney will ensure you meet Providence’s legal deadlines.

Morgan & Morgan offers free case evaluations to explain your rights and guide you through the next steps.

You might be entitled to compensation if you've been injured due to someone else's negligence. We want to ensure that everyone has access to information and the ability to get justice, so you can simply contact Morgan & Morgan for a free case evaluation to learn more about your legal options. Our team can review the details of your situation and advise you on the best course of action.

To have a valid personal injury claim, you generally need to prove that another party’s negligence caused your injuries. This includes demonstrating the following elements:

• Duty of Care: The other party had a legal obligation to act in a certain way (e.g., driving safely, maintaining safe premises).
• Breach of Duty: The other party failed to meet that duty of care through their actions or inactions (e.g., speeding, failing to fix a hazard).
• Causation: There must be a direct link between the breach of duty and your injuries. You need to show that their actions were the actual cause of your harm.
• Damages: You suffered actual damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, or other losses as a result of the accident.

The most effective way to find out whether you have a viable claim is to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney. An attorney can review the details of your situation, help collect and evaluate evidence, explain your legal rights and options under Providence law, and walk you through what to expect in the claims process.

The amount of time you have to file a personal injury claim, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state and the specifics of your case. However, some exceptions may apply, such as in cases involving minors, government entities, or when the injury wasn’t discovered right away.

Acting quickly is essential to protecting your legal rights. If a claim is not filed within the applicable statute of limitations, the court may dismiss the case, which can prevent you from pursuing compensation for your injuries.

Because filing deadlines vary depending on the state and the circumstances involved, speaking with a personal injury attorney soon after the incident is the best way to understand the timeline that applies to your situation. An attorney can help make sure your claim is prepared properly and submitted before critical deadlines pass.

Morgan & Morgan’s Providence attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning that there are no upfront fees or expenses until your case comes to a successful conclusion. That’s right—the Fee Is Free™, and you only pay if we win.

Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict amount, ensuring we are motivated to achieve the best possible outcome for you.

No, you do not have to pay for a consultation with a Providence personal injury lawyer at Morgan & Morgan. Our personal injury attorneys offer free consultations to potential clients.

When you work with Morgan & Morgan’s Providence office, your case is handled on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t pay any legal fees unless your attorney secures compensation on your behalf. If there is no recovery, you owe nothing for legal services.

Compensation from a personal injury case may vary widely depending on the specifics of your case, but generally, it may include:

Medical Expenses

You may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses related to your injury, such as hospital stays, doctor appointments, surgeries, physical therapy, prescription medications, and any future medical care your condition requires.

Lost Wages

If your injury has caused you to miss work, you may be compensated for lost wages. This includes not only the income you have already lost but also any future earnings you may be unable to earn due to your injury.

Pain and Suffering

Compensation for pain and suffering addresses the physical pain and emotional distress caused by your injury. This could include compensation for chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and reduced quality of life.

Property Damage

If your personal property was damaged as a result of the incident, you might be entitled to compensation for repair or replacement costs. This often applies to cases involving car accidents, where vehicle damage is a significant factor.

Loss of Consortium

Depending on the circumstances, your injury may affect more than just you. Your spouse or family members may be entitled to compensation for the loss of companionship, support, and services they relied on before the injury.

Punitive Damages

In cases where the defendant's actions were particularly egregious or reckless, you might be awarded punitive damages. These are intended to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.

Disability and Disfigurement

If your injury has resulted in a long-term or permanent disability or disfigurement, you may be entitled to compensation for the impact on your ability to work and perform everyday activities, as well as the emotional toll of such changes.

Other Related Expenses

You may also recover other expenses related to your injury, such as transportation costs for medical appointments, home modifications needed to accommodate a disability, and costs for assistive devices like wheelchairs.

Every case is unique, and the specific compensation you may recover will depend on the circumstances of your injury and the extent of your damages. At Morgan & Morgan, our experienced attorneys will thoroughly assess your case and fight to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve.

After you submit your personal injury claim in Providence, the insurance company for the at-fault party will review it. The insurer will assign a claims adjuster to your case, who will investigate the details of the accident, review documentation, and evaluate the extent of your injuries. The adjuster may collect evidence such as police reports, medical records, witness statements, and any other relevant information to assess liability and damages.

The insurance company will carefully evaluate all submitted materials, including medical records, accident reports, and other supporting evidence. To assess the incident more fully, they may speak with witnesses, consult experts, or conduct site inspections.

After gathering evidence, the insurance adjuster will evaluate your claim based on a liability assessment and a damage calculation. The insurance company will typically extend a settlement offer based on its evaluation. This offer may be lower than what you might expect or need. Reviewing this offer carefully is essential, as it may not fully account for all your damages. If the initial offer is unsatisfactory, your Morgan & Morgan personal injury attorney can negotiate on your behalf to pursue a fair settlement reflecting your claim's true value.

Negotiations can involve back-and-forth communication between your attorney and the insurance adjuster. Your attorney may present a counteroffer based on your assessment of damages, leading to further discussions until a mutually acceptable agreement is reached. You may need to file a lawsuit if negotiations do not lead to a satisfactory settlement.

Many personal injury cases are resolved through settlements before reaching trial. Settling out of court can be a quicker, less stressful, and more cost-effective way to resolve a case, depending on the facts of the case. 

However, whether your case will settle or go to trial depends on several factors, including the strength of the evidence, the willingness of the other party to negotiate, and your own preferences. At Morgan & Morgan, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial to ensure we are ready to fight for the maximum compensation possible. Our attorneys are fully prepared to take your case to court if a fair settlement cannot be reached.

The duration of a personal injury lawsuit varies depending on the complexity of the case, the severity of the injuries, and the parties' willingness to reach a settlement. Some cases may be resolved in a matter of months, while others can take years, especially if they go to trial.
