A penalty of $250 may be assessed for which action?

Prompt reporting of a workplace injury is required in Rhode Island. When an injury occurs, the employer or insurer must submit a report within the mandated timeframe. If a report is not filed or is filed late, a penalty of 250 dollars may be assessed. The purpose is to ensure claims are opened quickly so medical care can begin and benefits processing isn’t delayed. Submitting false information triggers fraud penalties and is handled under different provisions, not the late-report penalty. Filing a report too soon is not penalized, and not attending a medical appointment relates to treatment compliance and may lead to other consequences, but not the late-report penalty.
