How Michael F. Campopiano Can Help After a Bicycle Accident in Pawtucket
Bicycle claims turn on bias as much as on facts. The insurer’s first move is to suggest the rider was reckless, invisible, or “came out of nowhere.” We take that apart with evidence before it hardens into their settlement position — helmet-camera and doorbell footage, the damage pattern on the bicycle itself, and the driver’s own account measured against the scene.
You are a vehicle, not an obstacle.
Your helmet cannot be used against you.
Fault is shared, not all-or-nothing.
Evidence disappears fastest in cycling cases.
See our Rhode Island bicycle accident page for how these claims work statewide.
Why Should I Hire a Pawtucket Bicycle Accident Lawyer?
After a bicycle crash in Pawtucket, the driver’s insurer is not on your side. Adjusters routinely assume the cyclist did something wrong and look for any fact that supports it. We handle that conversation, secure the footage from nearby businesses and doorbell cameras before it is overwritten, and preserve the bicycle itself, which is physical evidence of the force involved. You are not required to give a recorded statement.
What Types of Damages Are Available After a Pawtucket Bicycle Accident?
Under Rhode Island law you can pursue:
Medical bills and rehabilitation
Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Property damage
Loss of consortium

Bicycle Accidents in Pawtucket: What the Law Actually Says
You are a vehicle, not an obstacle. Under R.I. Gen. Laws § 31-19-3, a person propelling a vehicle by human power has all the rights and duties of the driver of any other vehicle. Drivers must also pass you on the left at a safe distance, defined by § 31-15-18 as enough room to avoid contact if you fell into the lane.
Your helmet cannot be used against you.
Fault is shared, not all-or-nothing.
Evidence disappears fastest in cycling cases.

“I was involved in a car accident and was fortunate enough to have Franchesca helping me through the entire process. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make sure I understood everything and never felt like I was dealing with the situation alone.”
Aly SantiagoGoogle review“My husband and I have had a string of bad luck with car accidents, in the past about 10 years we’ve had at least seven. Since we found attorney Campopiano we don’t worry. We call him at the scene and he gives us guidance and makes sure we’re taken care of right away. By the time we get home we have an email of the documents to get started with the case.”
Edyna RodriguezGoogle review“Never been in a car accident before. When I tell you I was stressed to the max, decided to reach out and I’m SO happy I did. They asked me a few questions and took care of the rest. Got my check within 5 months!! You guys will not regret calling Michael!”
KayGoogle review“I was involved in a serious car accident, and my attorney was on top of things from start to finish. Their knowledge of the insurance process helped me navigate a very challenging situation. They encouraged me to fight for what I deserved, advising me against settling too quickly.”
Meaghan DunbarGoogle review“I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding service I received during my personal injury case following my automobile accident in March. From the very beginning, the team was attentive and supportive, making me feel valued as a client. I finished my treatment in early September, and to my surprise, my case was settled just two months later!”
“It was my turn to use him along with my family and we got into a car accident and him and his team went to work thoroughly and did a great job for us. They got us more money than we were expecting, not only that, but it was in a timely fashion they were very professional, very honest and easy to communicate with and get a hold of when we had questions.”
“My name is Taylor and without a doubt I had a 10/10 experience with Michael. He was very professional, communicated with me often every step of the way and got the best possible outcome for my case. I am reassured that having Michael represent me was the best decision I made. Thank you Michael!”

Frequently Asked Questions from Bicycle Accident Victims in Pawtucket
Straight answers, no legalese. Still have a question? A real person answers, day or night.
Call the police and get a report, photograph the scene, the vehicle and your bicycle, and get medical attention even if you feel able to ride away. Do not let the driver talk you out of a report, and do not give the insurer a recorded statement first.
No. Rhode Island requires a helmet only for riders 15 and younger, and the statute expressly bars using a violation as evidence of contributory negligence in a civil case (R.I. Gen. Laws § 31-19-2.1).
The same rights and duties as the driver of any other vehicle, under R.I. Gen. Laws § 31-19-3. You are entitled to the lane, and a driver overtaking you must pass at a safe distance.
The at-fault driver is responsible under Rhode Islands at-fault system, and your own uninsured motorist coverage can step in if their limits fall short. See who pays medical bills.
Your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage often becomes the route to recovery, and it usually applies even though you were on a bicycle rather than in your car.
Three years from the date of the crash under R.I. Gen. Laws § 9-1-14. Act sooner — the footage that proves fault is usually gone long before the deadline.
Rhode Island uses pure comparative negligence, so you still recover, reduced by your share. Do not accept an adjuster’s fault assessment as final.
By moving fast on the evidence, taking the insurer off your hands, and valuing the claim properly before any demand is made. We work on contingency — see how our no-fee promise works.
