What Can I Expect To Recover After an East Greenwich Accident?

The effects of an accident differ from person to person. You might be anticipating expensive medical bills, but that is often only the beginning of the struggle for a car accident victim. In some cases, injuries require long-term or even lifetime care.

Missing work to recover from your injuries can result in lost wages, making it difficult to pay your regular bills. If your injuries will keep you out of work for an extended period of time or cause you to permanently lose the ability to work, you may have no way to provide for your family.

If you relied on the income from a loved one killed in an accident, you must adjust not only to the loss but also to the loss of financial support.

Then there are non-economic losses, ones you cannot quantify in dollar terms. A car accident can cause intense physical and emotional pain and suffering. You may have developed anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder. If you lost a loved one, you are likely feeling intense emotional anguish.

How Do You Pursue Compensation in Your Car Accident Case?

All of these are compensable. However, to recover this compensation, you usually must deal with the other party’s insurer. And while the insurer should be trying to help you, this is rarely the case. In fact, in most cases, they will actively fight against you to save money.

The CCK team can help you pursue any compensation you may be entitled to. We will also look for additional insurance coverage available under your insurance policies called uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.

The team at Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick focuses on representing car accident victims. We have helped many clients in and around East Greenwich. We know Rhode Island laws and can navigate them to pursue the best possible outcome in your case.

A car accident lawyer from Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick can help you with the following and more:

  • Investigating your accident, gathering evidence, and filing a successful claim. This could involve examining crash reports, interviewing witnesses, reviewing photos and video evidence, consulting with experts to reconstruct your accident, or bringing in expert witnesses.
  • Negotiating with insurance companies. Insurance companies might be friendly when signing you up or when calling you right after an accident, but once negotiations begin, the relationship could turn adversarial quickly. The bottom line is, they want to pay you as little as possible. Using the evidence we gathered in our investigation, we pursue any compensation you may be entitled to.
  • Protecting your rights related to the crash. Our attorneys know how to advocate for your rights in out-of-court negotiations as well as in front of a jury. Wherever your case ends up, you can be confident you have diligent and dedicated attorneys in your corner.

Many car accident victims come to us because they are concerned about compensation. They are afraid the insurance company will not pay them what they deserve, and rightly so.

But pursuing our clients’ compensation is our focus. At Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick, you are not just another case file. We take recovering any compensation for you seriously.

What Should I Do if the Insurance Company Calls Me?

Soon after your accident, your insurer or the other party’s insurer may call you for a recorded statement. Speak with us before you speak with the insurance company. Even something as innocent as saying “I’m okay” could be twisted into an admission that you are not injured.
