Rhode Island Bill of Costs is a form used in Rhode Island court proceedings to provide an itemized accounting of the costs incurred by a party in a case. There are two types of Rhode Island Bill of Costs; the General Bill of Costs and the Special Bill of Costs. The General Bill of Costs is a form used to document the costs of filing a lawsuit, including filing fees, court reporter fees, witness fees, and other costs of litigation. The Special Bill of Costs is a form used to document the costs of a specific claim or action. It lists the costs associated with a particular legal action, such as the costs of obtaining documents, expert witness fees, and costs associated with obtaining testimony. Both forms must be filed with the Rhode Island court and approved by the court prior to being reimbursed.
