Even with mandatory insurance laws, there are thousands of people who drive without insurance or have only minimum coverage. For many of our clients, this is not enough to properly compensate them. The Warwick team at Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum has successfully uncovered many levels of uninsured motorist coverage for our clients.
In Rhode Island, you are allowed to stack UIM policies. This means that you may be able to receive more compensation by making claims under each auto insurance policy you have. We will review your policy and other policies that may provide coverage you are not aware of.
Insurance carriers fight to delay their judgment, which means clients are entitled to interest on the damages. Rhode Island has a plaintiff-friendly interest rate of 12 percent/year from the date of the accident. Our lawyers worked on the landmark case Metropolitan v. Barry, which came out of the Supreme Court of Rhode Island and set the standard for calculating interest in underinsured motorist cases.
