How to choose a lawyer in Greene

Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Look for a real trial track record, since insurers treat that seriously. Ask whether the attorney knows the local courts and the insurers you will deal with. Get clear contingency terms in writing, including what percentage is taken and who pays case costs. Confirm who personally handles your case day to day, and check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys in our directory, and pick the one whose answers give you confidence.

What to do after an accident in Greene

Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, because some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, and exchange and gather information from everyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and lost work. Then act promptly: Rhode Island has a filing deadline of 3 years from the date of injury, so waiting can cost you the right to recover. A local attorney can review your situation and explain the next steps.

Rhode Island injury law, in brief

Rhode Island sets a filing deadline of 3 years from the date of injury. If you miss it, you may lose the right to recover. Because investigations take time, contact a local attorney well before that deadline so your claim can be prepared and filed on time.
