Unfortunately, Rhode Island workers in any industry face the risk of being injured on the job. Although the state’s Division of Workers’ Compensation is designed to provide benefits to people hurt in workplace accidents, insurance companies, and employers often have a team of experts and an arsenal of information to prevent workers from recovering maximum compensation.
At Gemma Law Associates, our experienced Rhode Island workers compensation lawyers have more than 40 years of experience representing people who have been hurt at work and need a strong advocate to fight for the benefits they deserve.
How a Workers Compensation Attorney in Rhode Island Advocates For You
Without legal guidance, insurance companies might underpay or deny your claim. A lawyer will fight for your rights and make sure your recovery is the priority, not the red tape. Let them handle the legal stress while you focus on getting better. With a lawyer on your side, you’ll have someone who knows the tactics insurers use and how to counter them.
Explaining Your Legal Rights As An Injury Victim
If your employer is trying to persuade you to use your health insurance or sue a third party, we can explain the pros and cons.
For example, your health insurance has a co-pay plan and covers much less than workers’ compensation benefits would. And suing a third party would require you to prove negligence and would require that the defendant have assets or insurance so you could get paid.
You need to understand your rights so you are not pressured into making a decision that could hurt you in the long run. An experienced Rhode Island workers compensation lawyer can ensure that you are not taken advantage of or misled by an insurance company looking to lowball you into settling for less than what you deserve.
Protecting You From Employers and Insurers Fighting to Derail Your Workers Compensation Claim
The process of filing a workers’ compensation claim should be simple, but employers and insurers sometimes create barriers to deter you.
When our workers compensation attorneys in Rhode Island prepare your claim, most employers and insurers will know they can’t go out of their way to make things difficult because our team will be watching their every move.
