Coventry

There are any number of ways a person can get hurt- in a car accident, on the job, during a medical procedure, a slip and fall on a wet floor, and countless others. Regardless of how you were hurt, Personal Injury Attorney David Tapalian can help you. With a career focused on personal injury law in Coventry and throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts for over 20 years, he and his dedicated legal team handle all types of injury cases. Tapalian Law has recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars for clients who are entitled to compensation for their damages for bodily harm, medical expenses, lost wages, vehicle repairs, property damage, and more, caused by another person’s negligence. Our expertise focuses on helping people hurt in auto accidents, motorcycle crashes, dog bites, slip and falls, medical malpractice, and workers compensation.

Following any type of injury, your top priority is getting medical help. A severe injury, including any type of trauma to the head, will require immediate transportation to the hospital by ambulance. Even if your injuries are less serious and do not seem to warrant a visit to the emergency room, a visit to your physician or the nearest walk-in medical clinic is important. It’s critical to be evaluated right away because if left untreated, injuries can worsen causing further harm and pain. In addition, if you have a personal injury claim for negligence resulting from your accident, delaying medical assistance, or not seeking medical help at all, can have a strong negative effect on the validity of your claim for damages.

Once you have sought medical care and are safely able, consult a personal injury lawyer in Rhode Island for legal advice. Seek help from an attorney experienced with helping victims of accidents in Coventry recover compensation for their damages. It is important to have strong legal representation for your personal injury claim to ensure you are treated fairly by the opposing party’s insurance company. Without strong counsel representing you, the insurance company will offer you the minimum amount of money they can, in hopes that you will accept their offer and they can quickly close the claim for minimal cost.

Every Rhode Island personal injury claim is different, as is the amount of compensation awarded in each case. Types of damages awarded in a personal injury claim are generally divided into two categories: Economic Damages and Non-Economic Damages.

Economic damages typically cover specific monetary losses due to the accident or injury. Common examples of these types of damages include ambulance fees, hospital costs, medical expenses, lost wages from missed work, and property or vehicle repairs.

Non-economic damages can be more difficult to assign a monetary value and may include pain and suffering, loss of companionship (due to a death or life-altering injury), and punitive damages.

An experienced Coventry personal injury lawyer will determine what damages you may be eligible to seek when filing an injury claim in Rhode Island.

When you choose us to represent you, our expert legal team will fight to get you the maximum compensation to which you are entitled and ensure you are treated fairly by the insurance companies.

When you consult with Injury Attorney Tapalian, he and his team will gather the components necessary to provide an accurate evaluation of your incident. Depending on whether your injury was a result of a car accident in Coventry, or elsewhere in Rhode Island or Massachusetts, a medical malpractice claim, or a slip and fall, these components will differ. However, most will have the commonalities of a police report, medical records, lost wage statements, and will potentially have witness statements, video surveillance or photos to be obtained by various means. The goal is to determine who is at fault for your injury and, if that party, or multiple parties, acted recklessly or with negligence. Our injury lawyer will determine the extent of your damages, often done by consulting with medical experts, and your projected recovery. Expenses you’ve incurred as a result of the harm, as well as estimated future related expenses, are considered along with your medical prognosis for a full or partial recovery. A multitude of additional components will factor into the evaluation as well, depending on the individual case. Our Coventry personal injury team will utilize all available resources to provide you with expectations for the amount of compensation you may be eligible for and will keep you abreast of your claim throughout the process.
