Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice claim in Rhode Island?
Rhode Island law generally gives you three years from the date of the injury or from when you discovered the injury to file a lawsuit. This is called the statute of limitations. There are some exceptions for minors or cases of fraud.
Do I need a certificate of merit to sue for medical malpractice in Rhode Island?
Yes, Rhode Island requires a certificate of merit from a qualified medical expert before filing a lawsuit. The expert must state that your case has merit and that the care provided fell below accepted standards. This rule helps prevent frivolous claims.
