Serious Personal Injury Cases

Over the years David Oliveira and his staff have won millions of dollars in awards and settlements in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and elsewhere. However, to David success is measured not only by the dollar value of a recovery, but by the difference he has made in the lives of clients suffering form catastrophic injuries, and their families as well.

David Oliveira has been handling serious injury cases for more than 30 years. Although he relies on a capable team of colleagues and assistants, David is personally involved in every case.

It takes talent, skill and hard work to win a case or achieve a fair settlement. It takes compassion and personal involvement to appreciate the impact that can result to a victim -- or a spouse, parent, child or friend -- due to an accident, injury or medical error.

As an Adjunct Professor of Advanced Torts and Advanced Trial Advocacy at Roger Williams University School of Law, David Oliveira has a deep-rooted understanding of what it takes to represent a personal injury client. Keeping his academic credentials current ensures that he is on the cutting edge of new developments in law and procedure.

Whatever the cause, a personal injury case might require careful planning and preparation including the selection and involvement of expert witnesses, such as --

  • Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals
  • Care planners or life planners
  • Economists
  • Engineers or accident reconstruction specialists

Depending on the nature of the case, if successful the victim and/or family might win compensation for damages or losses including --

  • Pain and Suffering
  • Medical expenses, past and future
  • The cost of prosthetic and other devices and/or therapy
  • Lost wages, salary, earnings or business income, past and future
  • Loss of companionship or "consortium" of spouses, parents or children

Your ability to recover compensation might be affected by the passage of time. You should discuss your injury with an attorney as soon as you can.
