We Handle the Full Range of Premises Liability Claims in Rhode Island
When you patronize a business or visit someone’s property, you have the fair expectation that you will be kept free from dangerous conditions and safety hazards. As explained by the Supreme Court of Rhode Island, businesses and property owners have a “duty to exercise reasonable care for the safety of persons reasonably expected to be on the premises” (Lieberman v. Bliss-Doris Realty Associates).
Sadly, in far too many cases, property owners fail to take proper safety precautions. When they breach their duty of care, they can be held legally accountable through a premises liability claim. With decades of experience representing injured victims, our law firm handles a wide range of premises liability cases, including:
- Slip and fall accidents;
- Failure to conduct proper maintenance;
- Negligent security claims;
- Dog bite injuries;
- Swimming pool injury claims;
- Sidewalk and parking accidents;
- Hotel and motel injuries;
- Elevator accidents;
- Escalator accidents; and
- Apartment complex injury claims.
Slip and fall accidents and other premises liability claims always require a comprehensive investigation by a trained professional. These are fact intensive cases. What constitutes negligence by a business or property owner will always depend on the specific circumstances. Our Rhode Island premises liability attorneys can help you secure the evidence you need to hold a careless company or property owner liable.
You Deserve Full Financial Compensation
In Rhode Island, injured victims have a right to seek financial compensation for economic and non economic losses. Unfortunately, even when liability is clear, making a full and fair recovery can be difficult. Defendants and insurers are aggressive. They will fight to resolve a claim for the lowest amount possible. Our Rhode Island premises liability attorney can help you maximize your recovery. Financial compensation may be available for:
- Emergency room care;
- Medical bills;
- Rehabilitative care;
- Lost wages;
- Diminished earning potential’
- Pain and suffering;
- Scarring/disfigurement;
- Permanent impairment; and
- Wrongful death.

Rhode Island Slip & Fall/Premises Liability Claims: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Under Rhode Island law, you must bring a slip and fall claim within three years of the accident. If you fail to do so, you could fall outside of the statute of limitations. The longer you wait to get started with the claims process, the harder it will be to bring a successful claim.
Property owners can raise a wide range of different defenses in premises liability cases. Some of the most common defenses include trespassing, lack of knowledge of the safety hazard, or culpable negligence by the victim.
There is no true “average” premises liability settlement. You deserve to be made ‘whole’ after an accident—meaning a settlement/verdict should compensate you for your actual damages. Our Rhode Island personal injury attorneys can help.
