Free Initial Consultation

No attorney’s fees unless you receive compensation for your claim

The personal injury law firm of Rice & Associates, Ltd., takes a serious approach to helping people who have suffered catastrophic and life-changing injuries caused by negligence or misconduct by others. For more than eight years attorney Patrick Rice served the insurance industry as an effective defense attorney, where he gained experience and insight into how insurance companies protect themselves from liability in personal injury lawsuits. In 1993, Mr. Rice began using the knowledge and experience gained in the insurance defense field to exclusively represent people injured in accidents or because of negligence.

Our experience can mean a better settlement offer or jury award for you

Because of our extensive experience in the area of insurance defense, we are able to anticipate the legal maneuvering of defense attorneys. We use a network of professionals in the medical, insurance, and accident reconstruction fields to develop and present the most effective case. When the insurance lawyers see how serious we are about pursuing a significant jury award in court, you are likely to receive a higher settlement offer at the negotiating table.

Mr. Rice conducts seminars on trial advocacy, civil law, and tort law on a continual basis, including more than fifty such presentations in the past ten years. In addition, he has written numerous law journal articles on ethical representation of clients, personal injury litigation, and trial advocacy. Our approach to presenting an effective catastrophic injury claim is based on our knowledge that nothing in the law is black and white, and things change from case to case. An effective trial attorney has to be aware of the changing courtroom and political environment. A strategy that worked ten years ago or even last month, may not be effective today. As the sympathies of personal injury trial judges and juries have changed, so has the way we develop and present successful catastrophic injury claims for our clients.
