Car Accidents

Rhode Island and Massachusetts Auto Accidents can have catastrophic consequences on your life. You may not be able to enjoy life as you previously had or earn the income as before – this disruption in your life deserves compensation. If you or a loved one sustained injuries as a result of someone’s negligence you should contact Ahearn Law to assist you with your Massachusetts or Rhode Island car accident claim.

The party or parties who were at fault for the car crash are required to compensate accident victims for their losses. You are entitled to file a claim to obtain compensation for what has been taken from you. Attorney Tim Ahearn is a passionate advocate for victims of accidents caused by drivers who fail to follow the “rules of the road.”

If you were injured in a car crash caused by someone else’s negligence you may be entitled to: lost wages for time missed from work, lost future earning capacity, change in lifestyle, pain and suffering, past and future medical bills, out of pocket expenses, permanent disability and disfigurement, emotional distress, car repairs or replacement – all stemming from the auto accident.

“Insurance companies do not play fair. They will try to minimize your claim and pay out as little as possible. Without a personal injury lawyer on your side, you likely will not obtain the compensation you deserve.”

You are obligated to cooperate with your insurance company but not with the insurance company of the person who caused your injuries. Speak with Attorney Ahearn before signing any documents and providing any statements.

Atty. James P. Howe
He is extremely attentive to his clients, and treats them with compassion and care. I have referred matters to him over the years, and the clients have obtained great results.
Atty. Peter J. Cerilli
You fought for me like a junkyard dog. I also remember receiving calls from you on the weekends and after hours filling me in on the status of my case.
Dan R.
Honestly, I may have ended up homeless if you had not stepped in and took immediate action. You have shown me that there are still good people out there. Thank you for obtaining all the benefits that I was entitled to.
Charlie D.
You immediately took action and went to Court to get me what I deserved. I never waited long for a return phone call. When you settled my case I was able to obtain enough money to be able to move on with my life and find a less physical job.
Chelsea H.
I remember the prep sessions that we had to get ready for trial. You also brought in experts who testified on my behalf. When the Judge ruled in our favor and we won I knew it was because of the time, effort and expense you had put into my case.
