Who establishes liability for compensation in Rhode Island workers' compensation?

Liability for compensation in Rhode Island workers' compensation is established by the employer's workers' compensation insurer. When an injury occurs, the insurer assesses the claim, decides whether liability will be accepted or denied, and pays the benefits under the employer's coverage. The State Workers' Compensation Board doesn’t set liability initially; its role is to adjudicate disputes and oversee compliance, while the insurer handles the claim and benefit administration under the statute.
