The Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick Team Is With You From Beginning to End
From the minute we take your case, we are advocating for you, handling every aspect of your case.
Investigating Your Accident
Once you enlist our help with your accident case, we investigate the accident, determining how and why it occurred.
What Are the Steps Involved in Investigating an Accident?
To do this, we may examine the following:
- Police reports
- Photo and video surveillance
- Eyewitness statements
- Cellphone records
If appropriate, we might also work with accident reconstruction experts and other expert witnesses.
Building Our Case
Once we have identified the responsible parties and gathered evidence from the accident scene, we can begin building our case.
This process involves organizing our evidence in a way that shows that the responsible party had a duty of care to you, which they failed to uphold.
Based on the information we gather, we can also anticipate potential challenges or rebuttals from the other side. This lets us plan how to counter such arguments ahead of time.
Pursuing Compensation
The pursuit of compensation typically pits us against the insurance company. This process can be fraught with difficulty, as insurers employ highly trained staff members to try to reduce or deny claims whenever possible.
The insurance company can be tough, but our team is tougher. Although past results do not guarantee future outcomes, we have taken on insurers and won fair compensation for many Rhode Island clients. We understand their tactics.
Note: If the insurance company calls you after an accident requesting a recorded statement, call us for a free consultation immediately.
Helping With Paperwork
Legal claims are not the only difficult thing car accident victims must contend with. In most cases, there is confusing paperwork filled with insurance industry jargon you must fill out. This might include medical release forms or settlement offers. We can help you understand what you are reading and assist you with filling it out, so we can be sure your paperwork is correct.
We Pursue Every Type of Compensation
If you accept the insurance company’s settlement offer without first speaking with a lawyer, you may receive less money than you are entitled to.
Our attorneys will determine any damages for which you may be eligible, calculate a value, and pursue any amount you are entitled to. Depending on the accident, you might be entitled to different types of economic damages, such as:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning capacity if you are unable to return to work due to an accident-related disability
- Other miscellaneous expenses, such as the costs of renovating your home or vehicle to accommodate your disability
It also includes non-economic damages, which are more subjective, not lending themselves to exact dollar amounts:
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium
- Emotional anguish
