As in most larger cities, vehicle accidents in Warwick are common. The city saw a spike in fatal car crashes and road traffic accidents in 2017 from the previous year. Over half of the Warwick fatalities in 2017 involved drunk driving. Distracted driving, including texting and talking on a hand-held cell phone, is a frequent cause for vehicle collisions. Despite a Rhode Island law making hand-held cell phone use illegal in the state, distracted and negligent drivers are still causing serious traffic accidents all over Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Speeding accidents, especially on I-95 and I-295, are a regular occurrence and highly congested areas like Warwick Avenue, Post Road, Jefferson Boulevard, and Bald Hill Road where motorists make frequent stops and turns are another frequent culprit of automobile crashes in the Warwick area. If you have incurred personal injury at the hands of a drunk driver, a distracted driver, or a speeding driver, you need aggressive legal representation from a skilled Warwick, Rhode Island personal injury firm like Tapalian Law.

Slips, trips, and falls account for over one million emergency room visits each year in the U.S. A slip and fall, falling under the personal injury umbrella of premises liability, can happen in a residential or commercial setting. A person who suffers an injury due to a trip, slip, or fall due to an unsafe condition may be eligible to seek compensation for damages including medical bills, lost wages, and future treatment. If the owner of the property, whether a personal home or commercial business, could have averted your injury by showing a certain level of care to the property, seek out the legal advice of a skilled personal injury attorney who serves victims of slip and fall and premises liability accidents. Those entering an establishment for a business purpose, such as visiting a restaurant, shopping mall, or grocery store, are owed the highest level of care from the owner and/or operator of the business. The city of Warwick is a big shopping mecca and as such, its business owners should conduct regular inspections to ensure that their properties are free from safety risks. If a property owner is aware of a risk on their property and does not take precautions to make timely repairs, they may face a premises liability lawsuit if a customer is injured on their property. Homeowners are also liable for keeping their properties reasonably safe and must fix unsafe conditions or warn visitors of a potential hazard. In Rhode Island and Massachusetts, injuries due to slip and falls in the winter are frequently caused by snow and ice. Business owners and homeowners must take appropriate precautions to safely remove snow and ice to prevent a slip and fall injury lawsuit caused by a slippery condition.

After suffering an injury, it is important you don’t wait to inquire about your legal rights. Time is of the essence, and our Warwick personal injury lawyers offer a free and immediate assessment of your injury case to determine what options are available to you. Personal injury cases, including slip and falls and other types of premises liability, have a three-year statute of limitations. This means that in order to be viable, a case must be filed within three years from the date of the accident. If the deadline is missed, in most cases the injured victim will no longer be eligible to seek compensation for their injury-related grievances including medical bills, loss of income, loss of earning capacity, and future treatment.
