The road ahead looked clear. Then, in an instant, it wasn’t. A driver turned left without warning. A distracted motorist ran a red. Whatever happened, you found yourself on the pavement—and now you’re facing medical bills, insurance adjusters, and questions you never expected to answer.
Rhode Island motorcycle riders already face an uphill battle. Insurance companies move fast, evidence disappears within hours, and juries carry assumptions about riders that have nothing to do with the facts of your crash. What you do in the hours and days that follow matters far more than most riders realize.
Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum, Attorneys at Law, Inc. has been fighting for injured Rhode Islanders since 1933. Our motorcycle accident attorneys understand the bias riders face—and they know exactly how to counter it. To help riders protect themselves from the moment the crash happens, we wrote The Rhode Island Rider’s Guide to Fair Compensation After a Motorcycle Accident—and it’s yours, free.
What You’ll Discover Inside This Free Guide
This comprehensive resource covers the critical decisions that shape motorcycle injury claims in Rhode Island.
- Your first 48 hours after a crash. The actions you take—and the statements you avoid—in the immediate aftermath can determine the strength of your claim. Learn what to document, who to call, and what not to say.
- Fault, insurance, and how Rhode Island law works. Rhode Island follows a pure comparative negligence standard. Understand how fault is assigned, which insurance sources may be available to you, and why quick settlement offers are rarely fair ones.
- The motorcycle bias problem—and how to beat it. Jurors and adjusters carry assumptions about riders. This chapter explains how bias enters motorcycle cases and what evidence can redirect the story toward the at-fault driver’s decisions.
- Building your case with proof, documentation, and the right professionals. Physical evidence fades fast. Discover which records matter most, how to preserve footage and data before it disappears, and when expert witnesses can change the outcome of a claim.
- The lawsuit roadmap—from filing to settlement to trial. Most cases settle. But the ones that settle well are the ones prepared as if they won’t. Learn how the legal process works and why thorough preparation gives you genuine leverage.
- Money, medical care, and what happens when a case closes. A settlement is final. Before you sign, understand what costs must be accounted for, how liens work, and what long-term losses may be compensable beyond your immediate medical bills.
- How to choose the right motorcycle accident attorney. Not every personal injury attorney is prepared to handle the specific challenges of a motorcycle claim. Learn what questions to ask—and what answers signal real familiarity with the issues riders face.
