What Damages Can Be Recovered After A Car Accident?​

  • Hospitalization and current medical bills

  • Nursing assistance
  • Property damage
  • Out-of-pocket expenses, including travel required for medical treatment

  • Reduced earning capacity

Their insight can help us secure a settlement or verdict that reflects your full past and future losses.

What If At-Fault Driver Doesn't Have Insurance?​

Rhode Island has one of the nation’s highest rates of uninsured drivers. According to the Insurance Information Institute, about 16.5% of Rhode Island drivers were uninsured in 2019.

What happens if you get into an accident with an uninsured driver? You have a few options, especially if you added Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UMC) to your car insurance policy.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage steps in and covers what the uninsured (or underinsured) driver’s policy would have. However, you can only receive benefits up to your policy limits. If you only bought the minimum amount required by Rhode Island law, the cost of your accident might exceed your own UMC coverage.

If that happens, you generally have two options:

  • Filing a claim with another party’s insurance company
  • Filing a personal injury lawsuit against the uninsured driver or another responsible party

The best way to cover your bases is by reaching out to our top-rated car accident attorneys for help after your wreck. We will exhaust your options for financial recovery and work to ensure you get the money you deserve.

How Long Do You Have to File a Car Accident Claim in Pawtucket?

Under Rhode Island Statute § 9-1-36, the third anniversary of your car accident will be the deadline to file a claim for damages. Once the three-year statute of limitations expires, so does your opportunity to assert your rights and demand the compensation you deserve.

There are some limited exceptions to this rule, but it’s best to be safe and get a jumpstart on your case as soon as possible. Don’t hesitate to reach out to our legal team for help.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire A Car Accident Attorney?

Our car accident attorneys serving Pawtucket cost nothing upfront. We work on what’s called contingency. We front the costs of your car accident claim and assume the litigation risks. Our car accident attorneys only get paid if we win your case.

Your attorney’s fee will come right out of your financial recovery. It will be a pre-agreed-upon percentage, generally between 33 and 40% which is the standard fee for law firms.

Many factors can influence the amount of your car accident settlement or verdict, including the costs Marasco & Nesselbush incurs for expert witnesses when representing you. Most importantly, car accident victims will face no out of pocket costs when represented by Marasco & Nesselbush in a car accident case, At Marasco & Nesselbush, we are proud to be transparent about our fees and always work to make our top-rated legal services accessible and affordable for our clients.
