Free Initial Consultation
Most personal injury law firms provide complimentary initial consultations to help you explore your legal options and assess whether the firm meets your needs. During this meeting, you can discuss the specifics of your case, inquire about the legal process, and gauge the lawyer's experience and approach in handling motorcycle accident cases.
Arrive prepared with documentation, such as accident reports, medical records, and any correspondence with insurance companies. These materials will enable the lawyer to understand your situation and provide well-informed guidance.
You can also use this consultation to determine if the lawyer is the right fit for your case. Pay attention to the attorney's communication style, professionalism, and attentiveness to your concerns. You want a lawyer who you can talk to openly and who will provide the necessary support throughout your case.
Contingency Fee Payment Arrangement
If cost is a concern, you may be surprised that many Rhode Island motorcycle accident lawyers operate on a contingency fee basis. This means you don't pay any upfront legal fees. You only incur costs if your case is successful, typically as a percentage of the final settlement.
Before hiring a lawyer, ask about the payment arrangement to avoid surprises later. You can ask questions about how the contingency fee is calculated, what expenses are included or excluded, and the typical percentage the lawyer charges. An open dialogue ensures you make an informed decision aligning with your best interests.

Having an accessible attorney who actively listens and promptly addresses your concerns can alleviate stress and help you make informed decisions throughout the legal proceedings.
