Workers Compensation
Protecting Your Right To Workers’ Compensation Benefits
Whenever you’re injured on the job, you’re entitled to payments for your time off work, medical treatment, and, if necessary, vocational rehabilitation services. The whole point of the workers’ comp system is to streamline your access to the benefits you and your family require without establishing negligence liability against your employer or anyone else.
It’s not always as simple as it sounds. Contact a dependable workers’ compensation lawyer at Revens, Revens, St. Pierre & Wyllie, P.C., if you have questions about your right to recover benefits for a workplace injury. Partner Michael A. St. Pierre has practiced workers’ compensation law for over 30 years and has been named the top workers’ compensation lawyer in Rhode Island for the last decade.

There are many reasons why an employer or its workers’ compensation insurer might contest your claim. They might argue that your injury was not suffered at work.
