Providence Auto Accident Attorney - Providence Truck Accident Attorney - Providence Van Accident Attorney

Car accidents are, by far, the leading cause of transportation related injuries, throughout the United States and, locally, in the Greater Providence area. Most Americans are completely dependent on using cars to perform their daily tasks, including driving to the store, work, school, shopping, doctors, and a variety of other commonplace tasks. The inevitable consequence is that, no matter how safe a driver you are, you will likely be involved in some sort of auto accident one day. This reality becomes even more likely in a congested, commuter city such as Providence, RI, which is well-known for having some of the worst traffic in the country.

You need a Providence car crash lawyer to fight on your behalf after a serious auto accident. Of course, not every car accident needs a car accident lawyer. Car accident lawyers only become necessary when an accident results in an injury serious enough to warrant medical attention, or one that detracts from your quality of life and daily routine. In these cases, retaining a Providence automobile accident lawyer can help protect your legal rights and ensure that you and your family receive the advice and compensation you deserve.

You should call an experienced Providence auto accident attorney when your injuries are severe enough that:

1. You will be unable to work or will lose wages for a significant amount of time; or
2. The car accident caused disfigurement; or
3. You are caused to suffer long-term or permanent pain; or
4. You have suffered a “loss of consortium” as a result of an automobile injury to your spouse. Please note that loss of consortium claims encompass all negative effects on the martial relationship, including loss of love, affection, support, companionship and sexual relations.

If you or a loved one has suffered a car accident or other type of injury from a Providence area auto, truck, van, or bus and any of the above factors are present, then you should retain a Providence car accident attorney immediately.

Why do you need a Providence Auto Accident Lawyer?

Every state, including Rhode Island, requires car owners to purchase automobile accident insurance. However, car insurance companies are notorious for trying to get out of paying fair and just compensation to their customers, even when those customers have routinely made their insurance payments for years. Let's face it, how do car insurance companies make money? Simply put: They love to take premiums and hate to pay claims.

Providence car collision lawyers handle all types of automobile accident cases, including car accidents, motorcycle accidents, and commercial truck accidents throughout the Metro Providence area and in all areas of Providence County. Additionally, they represent drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and bicyclists who have suffered an injury in a Providence traffic accident where another driver may have been at fault. This "fault" is known as negligence in legal parlance. If the negligence of another driver has caused you or a loved one injury in the Providence area, you may be entitled to monetary compensation for your injuries and should contact a Providence auto accident attorney immediately to discuss your options.

If you or a loved one have been involved in a Providence Auto Accident, you should:

(1) Call 911 for an ambulance for all injured persons, in the event of an emergency.
(2) As soon as you are able, call a Providence car accident lawyer;
(3) Take down the other driver's name, contact information, address, driver's license number, license plate number, and relevant insurance information. If possible, also take pictures of the damage to your car.
(4) File a police report and make sure to get a copy for your records, especially if you have significant property damage.
(5) Notify your insurance company that you have been involved in an accident.
(6) Keep copies of all bills for towing, repairs, rental cars, and other expenses you incur as a result of the accident.

Other reasons to retain a Providence Auto Accident Lawyer or Providence County Auto Accident Lawyer include:

   1. In Rhode Island, the statutory minimum of property damage liability insurance is $25,000.00, Bodily injury liability limits of $25,000 per person and up to a total of $50,000 per accident apply. An experienced Providence       accident attorney will work hard to get you the compensation you deserve;
   2. You need a trained Providence, Rhode Island car accident law firm to fight for your rights because the auto insurance company definitely will not do that;
   3. You need a Providence car accident lawyer to make sure that you get quality medical care and that all areas of your body are properly checked out;
   4. You need a Providence car accident lawyer to get and preserve vital scene evidence and immediately retain experts, such as accident reconstructionists, who recreate exactly how the accident occurred for the purposes of trial and legal settlements;
   5. If there may be evidence of alcohol and/or drugs that played a role in the cause of the accident, it is important information that your attorney can help preserve and document;

   8. You need a Providence car collision lawyer to find all layers of insurance coverage, such as excess levels of coverage;

   10. You need a Providence auto accident attorney to help you select the best venue, or court location, to file your lawsuit. If the injuries are serious and your automobile accident law firm files suit, it would do so in Providence Superior Court or Sixth Division District Court;
   11. You need an experienced Providence personal injury lawyer to find all liable parties, as oftentimes the negligent driver is in the course and scope of employment with a large company at the time of the accident, and sometimes there are other vehicles that may also have some fault in the accident;
   12. If you received a ticket when you really should not have, a trained Providence injury lawyer can represent you regarding that ticket to make sure that you are protected from a claim of contributory negligence;
   13. You need a Providence car accident lawyer to make sure that all your damages are compensated, including lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, past and future pain and suffering, past and future mental anguish, past and future impairment or physical restrictions, past and future disfigurement from burns or scars; and
   14. Finally, when a case is properly prosecuted by an experienced Providence auto accident attorney, the insurance company may "see the light" and will generally offer you what the value of your claim is actually worth in a settlement.

For all these reasons, you should not hesitate to retain an experienced Providence automobile accident lawyer near you to help you pursue claims related to an injurious car, truck, bus, motorcycle, or van accident.
