Statute of Limitations
Rhode Island has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury from truck accidents (RI Gen Laws § 9-1-14). Rhode Island follows pure comparative fault — recovery available regardless of plaintiff's fault percentage. Claims against RIDOT or state entities require compliance with the Rhode Island Tort Claims Act (RI Gen Laws § 9-31-1). Providence provides the primary trauma center serving the state.
