Slip and fall lawyer Rhode Island: your deadline

The first thing a Rhode Island slip and fall lawyer checks is the clock. You have three years from the day you fell to file, under R.I. Gen. Laws § 9-1-14.

Talks with the owner's insurer do not stop that clock. Only a lawsuit filed in court does.

How Rhode Island splits the blame

Rhode Island uses pure comparative fault. Your share of the blame lowers the award but never wipes it out. The rule is in R.I. Gen. Laws § 9-20-4.

Say a jury values the case at $40,000 and finds you 20 percent to blame. You would receive $32,000.

Public property in Rhode Island

Claims against a city, county or the state here follow their own rules and paperwork. Call the same week you fall so nothing is missed.

What your Rhode Island case is worth

The value comes from your bills, lost pay, how long you hurt, and the fault split above.

Answer four quick questions; the Rhode Island rule is already set.

How this number is built

Bills plus lost pay, plus an assumed pain allowance of one and a half to five times the bills by injury. Then the state's fault rule. Rhode Island cuts the award by your share of fault but never to zero. Policy limits, liens and future care are left out.

How Rhode Island fall lawyers charge

Fall lawyers in Rhode Island work on contingency. They take a share only if they recover money for you, and nothing if they do not.
