What happens if my employer does not report my claim?

Answer

If your employer does not report your claim, um, you can again figure out through your lawyer, typically, who their insurance company—their workers comp insurance company—is as of the date of your injury and make your claim directly, uh, that way or by filing a petition in the Rhode Island Workers Compensation Court to document your case and your claim. Uh, and, um, despite your employer not reporting it like they should, your rights will still be protected.
