If you or a loved one has been hurt in Newport, Rhode Island, you don’t have to face the insurance companies alone. Newport is a world-famous seaside destination where heavy seasonal tourism fills America’s Cup Avenue and Thames Street with pedestrians, cyclists, and out-of-town drivers, and preventable accidents happen here every day. When someone else’s negligence turns your life upside down, personal injury law gives you the right to full compensation — and the Law Offices of Michael F. Campopiano is here to fight for it.
For nearly two decades, our Newport personal injury lawyers have recovered significant compensation for injured Rhode Island families — tens of millions of dollars across car crashes, falls, dog attacks, and more. We handle every step, from investigation to settlement or trial, so you can focus on healing.
Your consultation is always free, and you pay nothing unless we win. Call (401) 288-3888 or contact us today.

Rhode Island Personal Injury Law: What Newport Residents Should Know
Rhode Island is an at-fault state — the person who caused your injury is responsible for your damages through their liability insurance, and you can pursue pain and suffering from day one. Two rules strongly favor Newport injury victims:
- Pure comparative negligence (R.I. Gen. Laws § 9-20-4): you can recover even if you were partly at fault — your award is reduced by your percentage, never eliminated.
- A three-year deadline (§ 9-1-14) to file most claims — but an injury on city or state property requires written notice within 60 days (§ 45-15-9).
Cases that can’t be settled fairly are tried before the Newport County Superior Court. Because evidence disappears fast, the sooner you call, the stronger your case.
Serving Newport and the Surrounding Community
Our firm proudly represents injured people throughout Newport — including near the Cliff Walk, the Bellevue Avenue mansions, and the Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge. Serious accidents cluster on America’s Cup Avenue, Bellevue Avenue, Thames Street, Memorial Boulevard, and Route 138, and we investigate every scene quickly to preserve the evidence before it disappears.
Whether your claim settles or goes to trial before the Newport County Superior Court, an experienced Newport personal injury attorney is the difference between a lowball offer and the full value of your case. If you’ve been hurt in Newport, call (401) 288-3888 for a free consultation — there’s no fee unless we win.

Newport Personal Injury Law: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do I have a personal injury case in Newport?
You likely have a claim if someone else’s negligence caused your injury and you suffered real damages — medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering. The surest way to know is a free consultation. Call (401) 288-3888 and we’ll evaluate your Newport case honestly.
2. How much does it cost to hire a Newport personal injury lawyer?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee — you pay no attorney fee unless we win, and your consultation is always free.
3. How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Rhode Island?
Generally three years from the date of injury under R.I. Gen. Laws § 9-1-14. Claims against a city or town require a written notice within 60 days under § 45-15-9, so it’s important to call quickly.
4. What is my Newport personal injury case worth?
There is no fixed number. Value depends on the severity and permanence of your injuries, your medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering. We document every loss to maximize your recovery.
5. What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
Rhode Island follows pure comparative negligence (§ 9-20-4), so you can recover even if partly at fault — your award is reduced by your percentage, never eliminated.
6. What types of personal injury cases does MFC Law handle in Newport?
Car, motorcycle, pedestrian, and rideshare accidents; slip and fall and premises liability; dog bites; and product liability — the full range of personal injury claims across Newport and Rhode Island.
7. Should I talk to the insurance company after my Newport accident?
Not before speaking with us. Adjusters are trained to reduce or deny claims, and anything you say can be used against you. We handle all insurer communications on your behalf.
8. How long does a personal injury case take?
Straightforward cases can settle in a few months; serious-injury or disputed cases can take a year or more. We never rush a settlement before the full extent of your injuries is known.
