Let Our Team Help Maximize Your Compensation

Facing off against the insurance company without legal representation can be a difficult task. The Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick LTD team helps in several important ways:

We Know How to Take on the Insurance Company

Your compensation is most likely to come from the insurance company of the person that injured you and possibly from your own insurance company. The challenge is making sure the insurers pay you the compensation you deserve.

For all their advertising rhetoric about being there for customers in times of need, car insurance companies tend to put forth great effort in paying as little as possible to accident victims. Keeping payouts low helps their profits remain high.

One way they do this is by offering a quick settlement that many injured parties do not know is likely much less than they deserve.

We Have an Intimate Knowledge of Rhode Island Insurance Laws

Rhode Island follows something known as a comparative negligence law. This law dictates what happens if more than one driver shares fault for an accident.

Under Rhode Island’s law, you can still pursue the other driver for compensation even if you were partly at-fault. But the amount you are eligible to receive is reduced by the percentage of your contribution to the accident. Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick LTD fights to get you the fairest and most comprehensive settlement.

Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick LTD Works to Maximize Your Compensation

Most people know they can recover compensation for their injuries and maybe the time they needed to take off work. However, there are other damages to which you might be entitled. Upon taking your case, one of the first things we do is conduct a full investigation into your accident. This helps us identify all responsible parties as well as determine the damages for which you deserve compensation.

A Rhode Island car accident claim might include any of the following damages:

• Medical costs: We seek damages not only for the medical bills you have already incurred but also for those we can reasonably anticipate you to incur in the future. Some car accident injuries require lifetime care. The responsible party, not you, should be liable for the costs of these injuries.
• Missed work: Car accident injuries can force you to spend time away from work as you recover. Some victims are unable to return to the same position they had before or might need to retire from the workforce. We pursue compensation for all lost wages as well as your lost earning capacity.
• Pain and suffering: We aggressively pursue compensation for your physical and emotional pain and suffering.
