Motor vehicle accidents are among the most common and most serious types of cases in personal injury. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there are over a million auto accidents in the United States that result in injuries annually. When people are involved in accidents, generally auto insurance representatives go to work immediately. Adjusters will often make offers to injured parties before all the facts are known or the full extent of damage and injuries have come to light.
Working to Get Maximum Compensation for Victims in Providence and Beyond
The ultimate goal of insurance companies is to provide victims with as little compensation as possible to keep down costs. They're paid to minimize the value of claims, not to advise on victims' rights.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an auto accident due to someone's negligence it's important that you take action that allows for maximum compensation under law. Immediately after an accident takes place it's important to take the ideal steps. A dedicated Rhode Island car accident attorney can provide guidance.

One example of our results:
We helped a client conclude a seven-year battle arising out of serious injuries he sustained in a motor vehicle accident. He was stopped at the bottom of an on-ramp that was under construction. He was rear-ended by the car behind him. We did not stop for our client after receiving the insurance policy limits from the car that struck our client. We expanded our investigation and pursued the companies that were responsible for the construction design changes to the on-ramp and signs. We obtained a verdict from a jury for our client. While we could have stopped there, we always go the distance in obtaining compensation for clients. We realized that the jury did not compensate our client enough and he should be compensated further. After the trial, we filed legal motions and convinced the judge our client's injuries were worth a total award of $3,160,983.
