Personal Injury which is sometimes referred to as “ Tort Law ” is legal remedies and defense that are involved with wrongful conduct. Personal Injury Law is very different than criminal law because you and your Providence Personal Injury Lawyer are acting as the prosecution instead of the government in your case. In these types of cases, you will typically be seeking damages (monies) for an injury you sustained due to the negligence of the defendant.
DUI/DWI
The Law Office of David Morowitz, Ltd., extends its quality representation to DUI accident victims who are injured due to dram shop liability issues.

Sex Crimes
There may be nothing more horrifying than being the victim of a sexual assault or finding out that your child has been the victim of molestation. While physical injuries may eventually heal, the emotional scars can remain for a lifetime. Victims of these attacks have the right to seek compensation for the harm they have suffered.
Robbery
After defendant was convicted of bank robbery, defendant moved for new trial. The Superior Court, Providence County, Bourcier, J., denied motion. Defendant appealed. The Supreme Court, 687 A.2d 457, vacated and remanded. On remand, the Superior Court denied motion for new trial. Papers were returned to Supreme Court. The Supreme Court, Goldberg, J., held that newly discovered evidence including state’s failure to disclose agreement to write favorable letter to parole board on behalf of witness and to place witness in protective custody was merely cumulative and impeaching, and therefore did not warrant new trial.

Penelope was now seventeen years old and had been working at Kitchen 44 for approximately two years when on the night of August 10, 1990, according to her testimony, Maniatis ¿raped¿ her. She testified to continual sexual harassment and assault all the time she had worked for the Maniatis’s. Recounting Maniatis’s sexual advances toward her during her two-year employment at his restaurant, Penelope testified that he “would make passes at me, sexual advances”; “[h]e would grab my butt, bump into me, accidentally hit my breast or he’d say things.” Maniatis would tell her that “we could go out, we should have an affair.” The defendant even offered to pay her $300 “to sleep with him.” He would follow Penelope to the supply shed quite often and, once inside, he “would grab at [her] and paw at [her].” Maniatis was relentless in making these sexual overtures to her.
Many property owners are unaware of the safety duties they owe to other individuals and their responsibility regarding premises liability. If left unattended, potholes, slick surfaces, open gates, swimming pools and other issues can prove to be unbelievably dangerous to a visitor. When this type of negligence or inadequate security results in an injury to an innocent victim, it is important that he or she is adequately compensated.

Dog Bites
Rhode Island is a strict liability state when it comes to dog bites. That means that if you are attacked by a dog or another pet outside of the pet owner’s property, you are most likely entitled to compensation for the damages you have suffered. This statute applies to “keepers” of the animal as well, not just the pet owners.
