According to Rhode Island General Laws section 9-1-14, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is three years. This means you have three years from the date your injury occurred to file a claim, or you will lose your right to file and your right to recover compensation.
While three years may seem like a significant amount of time, some exceptions do exist that can change this time limit so it’s important to speak to a skilled attorney about the specifics of your case as soon as possible.
