The individual who has suffered injury due to another person or business, may be entitled to compensation for medical care and pain and suffering. The harm need not be physical. Work-related and other injuries can be psychological. A prominent Rhode Island personal injury lawyer can assess your legal rights.

Harm may have been caused by an irresponsible dog owner allowing his pet to run free, or a store owner who allowed grease to remain on the floor in a public area causing a customer to fall and break a leg. Malpractice incidents caused by medical or dental carelessness are not excluded from the list.

Any accident may entitle an individual to compensation. An attorney may offer a free consultation to determine if the case is viable. If accepted, the lawyer often works on a contingency basis.

Put simply, if your attorney does not collect money for you, you will not owe a fee to him. For this reason, an attorney will usually only accept cases that can be won. You will be advised not to pursue the matter if the lawyer does not think you can win.

The attorney then files court documents, investigates every detail of the incident and follows the dictates of Rhode Island law. In the preponderance of all cases, the two parties will settle out of court. This saves a considerable amount of time and effort.

Suing a friend or relative may sound unkind. However, it is most often their automobile or homeowner policy that pays for the damages. If you are invited to a social gathering at their home, it is their responsibility to maintain safe conditions while you are there.

However, when a guest is subject to a chandelier falling on his head, the homeowner is usually responsible. The resolution of each case depends on circumstances. Often, the smallest detail will help your attorney collect money on your behalf.
