Settlement agreements are a popular tool used by some property owners, especially larger businesses, to limit their liability. By promising to pay you a small compensation value, they hope you agree to forgo filing a lawsuit or seeking additional damages.
Do not sign any settlement agreement or accept any settlement offer without first visiting with your Rhode Island slip and fall attorney. Your lawyer can evaluate the offer in light of your damages and harm, helping you make an informed decision about whether the offer is in your best interests.
