Rhode Island Car Accident Lawyers
What do you mean by “distracted driving”?
Distracted driving is deadly, and poses a significant threat on our roadways. It occurs when a driver’s attention is diverted from the primary task of operating a vehicle, often due to secondary activities like texting, talking on the phone, eating, or fiddling with in-car entertainment systems. The secondary activities cause a cognitive delay, which in turn leads to the lack of acuity in deciding the next move. This dangerous habit significantly increases the risk of accidents and endangers the lives of those on the road.
Types of Car accidents our attorney handles:
- Distracted driving accidents
- Drunk driving accidents
- Fatigued driving accidents
- Hit-and-run accidents
- Uninsured motorist accidents
- Uber/Lyft accidents
- Rollover accidents
- Rear-end accidents
- Head-on collisions
- T-bone accidents
- Sideswipe crashes

After a terrible head-on collision, Michael represented my mom, son, and me. Michael is accommodating and attentive at the messiest part of the process, the day of and the days after the accident, giving sound advice and clear directives regarding what needs to occur following an accident. As the case was handed over to the paralegal for further action, we received an excellent price for our damaged vehicle – far above what I expected. Negotiations were done with insurance and other medical providers with the paralegal. I did my share of negotiations to bring hospital bills down and delay payment until a settlement was reached.
As we were getting close to a settlement, Michael’s expertise as a lawyer shone. He negotiated impressive settlements for all three parties equal to what we knew they should be or above what we expected. Michael was appropriately aggressive and diligent in his negotiations with parties. All delays or miscommunications were always proven to be from the insurance company or doctor’s office’s adjusters, which showed Michael is a person of his word. It was not a confidence I give lightly – he proved it over and over during the two years of treatment and then moving into negotiations and finally settlement.
Michael showed a personal and caring demeanor towards each generation of my family represented in the accident. As a minister, I often care for and arrange things for people, so it was nice to have someone like him and his firm take care of me and my family.
A big thank you and God bless, Rev. Eric C. Cappelli

Dealing with my injury and several surgeries was very painful but working with Mike and his team was the complete opposite and was such a relief. They really care about their clients and took the time to explain everything, answer all of my questions, walk me through the entire process, and get me the most they possibly could. Not only was Cassandra so diligent with regular updates, Mike himself gave me updates. I would definitely recommend Mike and his team for any personal injury needs. Thanks for all of your hard work! I hope to never have to deal with another injury like this but if I do, I know exactly who I will go to!

It is with much gratitude and relief that I leave this glowing review for the Law Offices of Michael Campopiano. A little less than a year ago my husband was rear ended en route to work. The other driver remarkably admitted to texting and driving, but it was little consolation for the physical injuries he endured, not to mention the vehicle damage. As the doctor bills started to become several, we felt it was time to ask for help. As a former coworker of his wife, the first person I thought to call was Michael. In the coming months we were thrilled to have the guidance we needed to manage all the particulars and ultimately a solution. Thank you so much Michael. You and your team gave us such peace of mind and will be forever grateful.

Common Causes of Distracted Driving Accidents
A few common causes of distracted driving accidents include the use of smartphones, texting, and in-car distractions. Other culprits may include eating, grooming, or reaching for objects in the vehicle. These seemingly harmless actions can lead to severe collisions, resulting in injuries and property damage.
FAQs about Automobile Accidents :
What should I do immediately after an automobile accident?
After ensuring your safety and the safety of others, seek medical attention, document the accident, exchange information with other drivers, and report the accident to the authorities.
When should I seek medical attention after an accident?
It’s advisable to seek medical attention immediately, even if you don’t feel injured. Some injuries may not show immediate symptoms but could be serious.
How can I prove my injuries were a result of the accident?
Medical records, diagnostic tests, photographs, and eyewitness accounts can help establish a connection between your injuries and the accident.
Should I communicate with the other driver's insurance company about my injuries?
It’s typically better to consult with an attorney before speaking with the other driver’s insurance company to avoid potential pitfalls.
What is the process for filing a personal injury claim after an accident?
The process involves gathering evidence, consulting an attorney, negotiating with insurance companies, and, if necessary, filing a lawsuit.
Can I be compensated for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering resulting from the accident?
Yes, you may be eligible for compensation through a personal injury claim to cover medical bills, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
Is there a time limit for filing a personal injury claim after an accident?
Yes, there is a statute of limitations, which varies by state. It’s essential to consult an attorney and file a claim within the prescribed time frame.
Do I need an attorney to handle my automobile accident injury claim?
While you can handle your claim without an attorney, consulting with one can help ensure you receive fair compensation and navigate the legal process more effectively.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may still be eligible for compensation, but the amount you receive may be reduced based on your level of fault.
What is a pain and suffering claim, and how is it calculated?
A pain and suffering claim seeks compensation for physical and emotional distress. The calculation can vary and often depends on factors such as the severity of injuries and their impact on your life.
Consequences and Legal Implications
The reduction of a driver’s situational awareness impairs reaction times, and increases the risk of accidents. These accidents can have dire consequences, from minor injuries to life-altering trauma or even fatalities. In addition to the physical and emotional toll, there are legal ramifications for distracted drivers, as they can be held liable for their negligent behavior.
