Knowing what steps to take immediately after a traffic accident can protect your health, your legal rights, and your ability to seek compensation. Here’s what we recommend:
Determining liability in a traffic accident is critical to the success of your personal injury claim. At Almagno Law, we carefully investigate each case to identify who was at fault and to what extent. Liability is typically based on negligence—when a driver or other party fails to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm. Our team gathers key evidence such as police reports, witness statements, video footage, and expert accident reconstructions to build a strong case. In some instances, multiple parties may be liable, including commercial drivers, vehicle owners, or even local municipalities for unsafe road conditions. Rhode Island’s comparative negligence laws mean that even if you’re partially at fault, you may still be entitled to compensation. That’s why experienced legal representation is essential—to ensure your rights are protected and the responsible parties are held accountable.
At Almagno Law, we recognize the life-altering impact a serious traffic accident can have—physical injuries, emotional trauma, mounting expenses, and complex insurance battles. Our firm is committed to guiding accident victims through every step of the legal process with clarity and compassion. Whether you were injured in a car, truck, motorcycle, or pedestrian accident, we bring strategic advocacy, thorough investigation, and deep knowledge of Rhode Island personal injury law to your case. We work tirelessly to hold negligent parties accountable and help you pursue the full compensation you deserve for medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
In Rhode Island, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases, including traffic accidents, is three years from the date of the accident. It’s important to act quickly to preserve evidence and strengthen your case.
Rhode Island follows a comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault—as long as your share of fault is not greater than the other party’s.
If the other driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. We can review your policy and help you file a claim.
Even with seemingly minor injuries, it’s wise to consult an attorney. Some injuries worsen over time, and early legal guidance ensures you don’t accept a low settlement or waive your rights unknowingly.
