FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What should I do immediately after a car accident or injury?
After an accident, your health and safety come first. Call 911 if anyone is injured. Seek medical attention even if you feel “okay,” since injuries often appear later. Take photos of the scene, gather witness information, and avoid giving statements to insurance companies before speaking with a lawyer. Call MFC Law as soon as possible so we can protect your rights.
2. How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?
If you were injured because of someone else’s negligence – such as in a car accident, slip and fall, workplace incident, or medical mistake – you may have a valid claim. The best way to know is to schedule a free consultation with our attorneys. We’ll review the facts, explain your options, and advise whether pursuing compensation makes sense.
3. How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
At MFC Law, you pay nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning our fee comes as a percentage of the settlement or verdict we win for you. If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing.
4. How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Rhode Island?
In Rhode Island, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is three years from the date of the injury. Missing this deadline usually means losing the right to compensation. Because evidence can disappear quickly, it’s best to contact an attorney right away.
5. What types of compensation can I recover in a personal injury case?
Depending on your case, you may recover damages for:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage
- Wrongful death damages (if a loved one was lost)
6. How long will it take to settle my personal injury case?
Every case is different. Some claims settle within a few months, while more complex cases that go to trial may take a year or longer. Factors include the severity of your injuries, how willing the insurance company is to negotiate, and whether a lawsuit becomes necessary. We work to move cases forward as quickly as possible while protecting your full rights.
7. What if I was partially at fault for the accident - Can I still recover compensation?
Yes. Rhode Island follows a “pure comparative negligence” rule, which means you can recover damages even if you were partly at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and awarded $100,000, you would receive $80,000.
8. Will my case go to trial, or can it be settled out of court?
Most personal injury cases settle before trial through negotiation or mediation. However, if the insurance company refuses to make a fair offer, we are fully prepared to take your case to court. Our attorneys have extensive trial experience and are ready to fight for you every step of the way.
9. What documents or evidence do I need to provide my attorney?
Helpful items include:
- Police reports
- Medical records and bills
- Photos of the accident scene or injuries
- Insurance information
- Witness contact information
Don’t worry if you don’t have everything. Our team will help gather the necessary documents to build the strongest case possible.
