Rhode Island Brain Injury Lawyer
While others say justice for all, we say justice for you.
A brain injury does not always show on a scan, and it rarely shows on the day. Headaches, memory gaps, mood changes, and fatigue that surface weeks after a crash or fall are the injury. We build claims that take the full picture seriously, because insurers will not.

Do you have a brain injury claim in Rhode Island?
Most claims come down to three questions. If the answer to all three is yes, it is worth a conversation, and the conversation costs nothing.
Was there a blow or jolt to the head?
A crash, a fall, a sports collision, an assault, or a workplace incident. Loss of consciousness is not required; many serious injuries involve none.
Have symptoms persisted or appeared later?
Concentration, memory, sleep, balance, irritability, sensitivity to light and noise. Post-concussion symptoms lasting weeks or months are a recognized injury.
Was someone else responsible?
The driver, the property owner, the employer's contractor, the product maker. If their carelessness caused the impact, the brain injury is their responsibility.

Brain Injuries
How we build a Rhode Island brain injury case
The right specialists
Neurologists, neuropsychologists, and where needed neuroradiologists who can identify and explain injury that general imaging misses.
Before and after
School and work records, performance reviews, and accounts from family and colleagues establish who you were before the injury and what changed.
The cause
The crash, fall, or incident is proven the same way any injury claim is, with the added focus on the mechanism of the head impact.
The future
Life care planners and vocational experts project the cost of care and the effect on earning capacity over a lifetime.
Compensation
What a claim can cover
Not every category applies to every case. Which ones apply to yours depends on the injury, the evidence, and the insurance available.
Money you have lost
Emergency care, hospital stays, and surgery
Ongoing treatment, therapy, and medication
Projected future medical care
Wages lost while unable to work
Reduced earning capacity going forward
Property damage
Harm that has no invoice
Physical pain, during recovery and after
Emotional distress and loss of sleep
Scarring and disfigurement
Loss of the activities that made life yours
Loss of companionship within a marriage
How it is paid
Through the responsible party's insurance
Through your own uninsured or underinsured coverage where it applies
By settlement, or by verdict if a fair settlement is refused
With every deduction itemized in writing before you sign
Right now
What to do next
What you do in the first days affects what the claim is worth months later. None of this requires hiring anyone.
1
Get evaluated now, even if the ER cleared you
Ask for a referral to a neurologist or concussion clinic. Early documentation of symptoms is critical.
2
Keep a daily symptom journal
Headaches, sleep, memory lapses, mood. Dated entries become evidence.
3
Ask the people around you to note changes
Family and coworkers often see what you cannot.
4
Do not minimize at medical visits
Describe every symptom. Records that say 'feeling fine' are used against you later.
5
Avoid giving statements to insurers
Memory and concentration problems make recorded statements especially risky.

Common questions
Brain Injuries questions we hear first
My CT scan was normal. Can I still have a brain injury?
Yes. Standard CT and MRI scans frequently miss mild traumatic brain injury. Persistent symptoms after a head impact are the injury, and neuropsychological testing and advanced imaging can document what standard scans cannot.
What is a brain injury claim worth?
It depends on severity, permanence, and the effect on your ability to work and live independently. Because these effects can last a lifetime, brain injury claims are valued differently from injuries that heal. No figure can be given before the medical picture is clear.
How long after a crash can symptoms appear?
Days to weeks. Delayed onset is common and medically recognized. The important thing is to document symptoms with a doctor as soon as they appear.
Does the three-year deadline start when symptoms appear?
Generally it runs from the date of the injury, not the date symptoms were recognized. This is one reason early evaluation after any head impact matters.
Do I pay anything up front?
No. Brain injury cases are handled on a contingency fee. The consultation is free, there is no hourly billing, and the fee is a percentage of any recovery set out in a written agreement. If there is no recovery, no attorney's fee is owed.
