First Report of Injury
An injury must be reported if medical treatment is needed, if the injured worker is unable to earn full wages for at least 3 days, or if the injury is fatal. Injured workers and employers do not send a paper first report to RI DLT. A worker reports an injury to the employer. The employer reports the injury to the claim administrator, which is the insurer or the adjusting company handling the claim. The claim administrator reports electronically to RI DLT. No first report forms are accepted on paper.

Benefits may paid without liability for 13 weeks under a Nonprejudicial Agreement (DWC-20) or with liability under a Memorandum of Agreement (DWC-02).
