Will Workers’ Compensation Cover Your Injuries?

Slip and fall injuries in Rhode Island are often covered by Rhode Island workers’ compensation, so it is important that you are aware of the things that you may be entitled to if injured at work. You are not required to show that it was your employer’s fault to be able to collect workers’ compensation. The only requirement that must be fulfilled is that you were “within the scope of your employment” when the injury occurred.
