Practice Areas Description

Attorney Ray Pacia's practice focuses on personal injury cases including these situations:

- Automobile Accidents

The most common types of lawsuits in today’s courts are automobile accidents. Even a relatively minor accident can involve considerable expense in terms of vehicle damage, medical expenses, and even loss of work. A skilled personal injury lawyer in Rhode Island can make a big difference in what you recover for your damages.

Every auto accident case needs three legs to stand on.

1. Liability: Someone must be at fault.
2. Damages: Someone must suffer harm and losses to person or property.
3. Insurance: Without insurance, the judgment may be a worthless piece of paper.

Personal injury lawyer in Pawtucket Ray Pacia does everything possible to make sure that the three legs your case stands on are as strong as possible.

- Motorcycle Accidents

Attorney Ray Pacia has received his Freedom Fighter award from the Rhode Island Motorcycle Association. He will review your specific circumstances with you and help you understand your alternatives. If needed, he will call in experts to inspect the accident site and vehicle damages to prove liability and build a strong case to protect your interests.

- Trucking and Bus Accidents

Proving liability for trucking accidents tends to be more complex than for automobile accidents. Even attorneys who specialize in truck accidents need additional resources to prove trucking accident liability in trucking accidents. That is why skilled injury lawyer in Rhode Island Ray Pacia will call in experts when needed to help with the following aspects of the case:

• Reconstructing the scene of the accident
• Analysis of forensic evidence from the accident
• Establishing liability to support the attorney’s claims

Ray has the experts on hand to quickly assist with any required investigation and ensure you are properly compensated for your losses. Rhode Island personal injury lawyers like Ray Pacia know that these experts are a key element of valuing and proving your case.

- Wrongful Death

When a close family member has been killed as the result of someone’s negligence, recklessness, or even deliberate criminal behavior, no amount of money can truly compensate for your loss. But, even if a wrongful act was already prosecuted in a criminal case, it can also be tried as a private wrongful death suit. If you lose a loved one as a result of a wrongful act, you can recover for lost financial and emotional support in accordance with Rhode Island state statutes.

You need the experience of Attorney Ray Pacia. He examines all details of your case, and he presents you with all of your options. He will work with you to find the best solution and maximize your total recovery. When you are seeking representation by Pawtucket injury lawyers, be sure to speak to Ray Pacia.

- Catastrophic Injuries

If you were involved in an accident that resulted in a brain or spinal cord injury, this is known as a catastrophic injury. These debilitating injuries are often the result of automobile accidents, falls, sports accidents, or violent acts. Even if you are partially to blame for a catastrophic injury, Rhode Island’s negligence laws can still allow you to recover a portion of the associated expenses.

To ensure the best possible life for you and your family, you need the expertise of Ray Pacia. Ray works with you and your family to identify all costs associated with the injury and help you recover the highest possible award. He knows the details of the Rhode Island state laws, and he can even help you file an effective workers’ compensation claim in the event that the injury occurred at work.

- Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Claims

If you have ever been involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist, you may have taken the claim to your own insurance company. You pay the deductible, and your insurance company promises to subrogate your claim and eventually reimburse you. You know it is unlikely that you will ever see that money again.

A better choice is to contact Ray Pacia, who has the legal knowledge to present you with better options based on Rhode Island law. Through a civil suit or arbitration, Ray can help you recoup your losses and maximize your recovery. His skills are highly regarded among Pawtucket personal injury lawyers.

- Slip and Fall Accidents and Premises Liability

The technical definition of a slip and fall accident is when the interface of the victim’s shoe and the floor fails, for whatever reason. Examples of this type of accident include the following:

• Slipping on a wet floor that was not clearly marked while wet
• Tripping on uneven flooring or rugs while walking through a public facility
• Falling down steps in a dark area of a store or restaurant
• Slipping on black ice in a parking lot

Rhode Island laws may hold both the property owner and the victim fully or partially liable for the accident. While the owner has a duty to keep the property safe, the victim is also seen as having a duty to exercise a reasonable degree of care.

- Defective Products

Defective products can result in major injury or even death. Frequently manufacturers of these defective products put profit over people and fail to eliminate hazards or warn of dangers. Attorney Ray Pacia is experienced in product liability laws and knows how to protect your rights.

- Workers’ Compensation Injuries

Every state has its own Workers’ Compensation laws, but all companies in the United States are required to carry Workers’ Compensation insurance for every employee. While it would seem a simple matter to file your own claim when you are injured on the job, it may be helpful or even necessary to seek legal assistance because of these possible factors:

• It can be difficult for an individual to deal with the paperwork and red tape imposed by the insurance company, particularly if you have been seriously injured.
• Your employer can deny liability for the accident, even though you know that a condition on the premises was at fault.
• While your employer might have been liable for the accident, a third party may also be partially at fault, requiring a civil suit in order to collect all damages due to you. For example, if you were struck by a car while walking through your employer’s poorly lit parking lot, your employer and the driver may share the blame.

- Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice causes the deaths of thousands of Americans annually. Even more people experience seriously or permanent injuries due to malpractice. Attorney Ray Pacia knows how to handle the details of these often complex cases—critical when you or a loved one has been injured due to medical malpractice. He understands medical malpractice laws, and he can determine when you or a loved one has experienced a valid medical malpractice situation.

- Construction Site Injuries

If you are a construction worker, or even if you regularly must walk or drive near a construction site, you need to be aware of all the possible causes of construction injuries. Here are just a few examples:

• Falling debris can injure anyone—workers or pedestrians alike—near the site if proper protective measures are not in place.
• If proper barriers are not in place, anyone can be hit by heavy equipment.
• Workers can be injured by defective equipment.
• Improperly maintained equipment can also injure workers.
• Defective scaffolding can tip or collapse, causing severe injuries or even death.

Whether you are an employee or even an innocent passerby who was injured at a construction site, Ray Pacia knows the Rhode Island laws governing these situations. He can unravel potentially complex construction site liability issues to ensure that you are fairly compensated for all injuries you sustain.

- Boating and Recreational Injuries

While it is your responsibility to make sure you are properly educated in safe recreational practices, if you are involved in an accident, others may be liable for the incident:

• Your boat may have defective parts that caused a collision.
• A rented boat may not have been supplied with proper life vests or other safety equipment.
• Public nature trails may have been improperly maintained, or significant dangers, such as a sudden drop, may have been unmarked.

If you followed the safety rules but were injured during a recreational activity, you should discuss your legal options with Ray Pacia. He knows the liability laws, and he can help you recover your costs.

- Child Injuries—Bicycle Accidents, Dog Bites

Your child’s safety and health are more important to you than your own. In a perfect world, you would like to personally supervise your child every moment, but children go to school, visit friends, and participate in normal activities every day under the supervision of others. Even when you are watching, unforeseen events can happen, such as a bicycle accident or an attack by a vicious dog.

- Hit and Run and Pedestrian Accidents

If you are injured as a pedestrian, you need legal help. And, if you are injured by a hit and run driver who has been identified, you need to realize that the criminal charges will not help you to recoup your medical and other expenses from the incident. You need to contact Ray Pacia. He has the experience you need to thoroughly handle every detail to build your case, including these:

• Obtaining police records associated with your case
• Calling upon expert medical experts to testify on your physical and emotional condition
• Identifying all costs that have been and will be required to allow you to return to your life, even in the event that you have suffered permanent disability.

- Insurance Law and Bad Faith Claims

Dealing with insurance companies can be daunting, especially when they fail to pay a justified claim or pay only a portion of that claim. Insurance companies are required by law to deal fairly with their customers. They are not permitted to fabricate reasons for denying claims that are cited as covered in your policy. And, if the policy language is confusing, you may actually have a case for having your claim paid outside of the actual policy stipulations.

When an insurance company does not pay fairly, you may have a bad faith claim against the insurance company. If you suspect that you are dealing with a bad faith claim, keep in mind that insurance companies have legal teams in place—you cannot handle this without expert legal assistance. Ray Pacia is an expert in insurance law and bad faith claims. He will examine your claim and your policy to determine the best approach to winning your case, and potentially recovering related costs as well.

- Burn Injuries

Burn injuries are typically thought to be a result of exposure to fire. In fact, burn injuries can be caused by many different sources:

• Friction
• Electricity
• Gas explosions
• Chemicals

Unlike many injuries, burn victims face a longer recovery and the possibility of multiple surgeries to minimize the physical and cosmetic damage, and they often have to deal with the fact that complete recovery is not possible. In addition to the physical scars, burn victims experience extensive emotional trauma. The experience is even more painful when the accident was the result of negligence. Attorney Ray Pacia understands the unique issues associated with burn injuries. He will use all legal avenues to build a strong case to get you the compensation you need.

- General Negligence

Injury is often the result of negligence, which can happen in virtually any imaginable situation. By law, negligence is defined as having four elements.

• Duty: A person is responsible for acting properly in a given situation.
• Breach: The person failed to act properly.
• Causation: The negligent conduct caused injury to person or property.
• Damages: The harms and losses must be quantified into a specific amount of money that provides full and adequate compensation to the injured person.
