Coventry Personal Injury Lawyer

A preventable injury can set you back in all areas of life. Physical pain and disability–even if it is temporary–can disrupt your life. An injury can prevent you from working and earning while incurring medical bills and other expenses. 

The financial fallout, along with your pain, can affect your emotional well-being as well. Getting compensation for your injury can help mitigate some of that stress by removing financial burdens and giving you a sense of justice.

A Coventry personal injury lawyer from Gemma Law can provide the legal guidance and representation you need to fight for the compensation you deserve. Members of our team hold leading roles in respected legal organizations, including the Rhode Island Trial Lawyers Association and the Rhode Island State Bar, and help our firm stay ahead of the curve and on top of changes constantly emerging in the world of personal injury law.

Coventry Personal Injury Cases We Manage

Our personal injury team includes:

• Coventry Car Accident Lawyer: According to the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (DOT), the State has an “impaired driving problem.” If you have been hurt by an impaired driver or by an otherwise negligent driver–insured or uninsured–we can handle your case.
• Coventry Motorcycle Accident Lawyer: Motorcyclists face a high risk of injury and death when involved in a crash. Traffic Safety Facts from the National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) report 5,932 motorcyclist deaths and 82,686 motorcyclists injured over a recent year.
• Coventry Truck Accident Lawyer: Truck operators, companies, inspectors, mechanics, and loaders must comply with comprehensive Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) trucking regulations. Your personal injury lawyer in Coventry will work to uncover acts of non-compliance or other negligence that contributed to your accident.
• Coventry Bicycle Accident Lawyer: Bicyclists, even if helmeted, have little protection from serious injury when hit by a motor vehicle. Unfortunately, drivers often fail to give cyclists their rightful road space or yield right-of-way. 
• Coventry Dog Bite Lawyer:  Rhode Island Statute 4-13-16, as stated in the Michigan State University Animal Legal & Historical Center, establishes strict liability for dog owners, with few exceptions, when their dogs cause someone harm. 
• Coventry Construction Accident Lawyer: A Coventry personal injury attorney can tell you what to do when you have been in a construction accident and handle your injury claim from start to finish.
• Coventry Premises Liability Lawyer: Property owners have a legal duty to keep their properties free of known hazards, whether that means keeping aisles clear of obstacles, parking lots well-lit, or apartment-complex door locks in working order. If they fail through negligent security or other foreseeable dangers, you may have grounds to seek compensation.   
• Coventry Slip-and-Fall Lawyer: Slip-and-falls are a specific type of premises liability case. If you injure yourself on an unmarked, slippery floor, a walkway covered in ice, or because of an unattended hazard, the property owner may be liable for damages. 
• Coventry Wrongful Death Lawyer: Rhode Island’s “Death by Wrongful Act” allows certain family members to collect damages when their loved one dies because of the neglect or wrongful act of someone else. 
• Coventry Product Liability Lawyer:  Defective products can present choking hazards, cause chemical burns, or otherwise injure users. Even medical devices can malfunction or include defects. A CPAP recall lawyer or personal injury attorney in Coventry will fight to hold negligent manufacturers, product designers, or sellers accountable. 
• Coventry Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer: Nursing home residents are often significantly disabled–physically and/or cognitively. Though it is unconscionable, residents can be mistreated or neglected by those supposed to care for them, other facility staff, or visitors. Our team is committed to fighting for justice for these often marginalized victims. 
• Coventry Medical Malpractice Lawyer: Most medical professionals uphold their oath to “do no harm.” Others, whether out of carelessness, arrogance, or recklessness, fail in this regard. As a result, victims may be harmed by surgical errors, cancer misdiagnosis, or other mistreatment. We can help you figure out what to do when you’ve been misdiagnosed or help you fight for compensation for other forms of medical malpractice.
• Coventry Birth Injury Lawyer: A preventable birth injury can change a victim’s–and their family’s–life permanently. Erb’s palsy, cerebral palsy, and other birth injuries demand compensation to ensure continued health care and financial stability.
• Coventry Workers’ Compensation Lawyer: When you are hurt on the job, you deserve workers’ compensation coverage to cover medical costs and a portion of your lost wages. We can help you file a claim and fight against potential challenges leveled by your employer or the insurance company.

When to File a Personal Injury Claim

Statute 9-20-4 of Rhode Island’s Civil Courts and Civil Procedure gives victims the right to seek damages when they are hurt because of another party’s negligence. Victims can file a claim no matter how much they are to blame for the accident. However, their available compensation will be reduced by whatever percentage of fault they are assigned for the accident.

The legal deadline–called a statute of limitations–for filing an injury claim with the court is three years from the date of the accident. Though three years may seem like a lot of time, do not wait to connect with an attorney. Your case has the best chance of a favorable outcome when your attorney has time to investigate soon after the incident and with plenty of time to complete the legal filing.
