According to the RI Department of Labor and Training, Workers Compensation is insurance that provides lost wages and medical payments to employees who are injured on the job. Employers in Rhode Island with only one or more employees are required to have Workers Compensation insurance. If you have been injured on the job, you may be eligible for Workers Compensation benefits.
In particular, if your injury was caused by the negligence or carelessness of your employer, you have a right to damages under the Workers Compensation regulations.
Workplace accidents are not uncommon. Over 4.1 million people a year in the United States alone are injured in workplace accidents, with over 2 million of those people sustaining injuries that are serious enough to cause loss of income, or employment, and nearly 1,000 deaths per year as well.
