Angelo handled a workers comp case for me recently and is by far one of the best attorneys I’ve ever come across. He is easy to talk to, works fast and efficiently and is immensely professional in every sense of the word . I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for counsel.

02 Aug, 2024 by Sara cicciu

Angelo was so helpful in negotiating my worker's comp settlement. I wish I had found him when I began this journey rather than navigating it on my own. If you're looking for top tier, professional help with your workers comp case, I highly recommend Simone & Simone.

Atty. Joe Ranone lives up to his reputation as an excellent attorney. Joe settled my case in a timely manner, keeping me well informed throughout. I appreciate his high standard of professionalism, along with his relaxed friendly approach. I highly recommend Atty. Ranone.

29 Nov, 2022 by Samantha

Joe is not only a great lawyer, but he’s also very empathetic and straight forward with every step of the process every time I left his office or got done with emails or phone calls with him I wasn’t left with questions because of how much information he really does give you to make sure you are fully confident in everything going forward and understanding of the process! Joe is an outstanding attorney he made the court process as smooth as butter making sure I had all of the information a few weeks beforehand and met me outside of the court room because he knew I was anxious about all of it! I will always recommend joe to every family member or friend who is going through what I just did or anything else he could help with because he seriously made such a stressful situation not as stressful as it would have been! Thank you Joe for everything!!!

11 Nov, 2022 by Billy

I had an extremely difficult case due to a lot of road blocks for Atty Ranone. How he managed to go around these blocks in a legal manner was simply amazing. He just settled my case. I am totally amazed at his legal abilities, dedication and devotion to his clients. Answered all my calls, questions, emails. I knew everything and he kept me informed every step of the way. If you have a personal injury, worker's comp. LOOK NO FURTHER..THIS IS THE ATTORNY YOU WANT & NEED. THANK YOU JOE FOR EVERYTHING. It's going to be a great holiday because of your diligence and your extremely hard work. God bless.

I was extremely fortunate to get an excellent referral to Mark Gemma from a trusted mutual friend. Without this referral, I was uncertain how to begin searching for a lawyer to represent my best interests by putting me first, which is exactly what Mark and his law firm did without question or hesitation. When I think of Mark Gemma and Gemma Law, these words immediately come to mind: Accessible. Attentive. Caring. Considerate. Ethical. Family. Honest. Intelligent. Professional. Prompt. Reliable. Responsive. Thorough. Trustworthy. There are many lawyers in Rhode Island and only a select few like Mark. I give Mark my absolute highest recommendation and will surely return whenever I am in need of his fine expertise legal services.

21 Jan, 2015 by Donna

I have hired this firm. I would say very courteous. I called 3 times,each time he responded quickly with a call back. Highly recommend this firm. Still ongoing but have total faith in him and the firm.

09 Jul, 2014 by Anonymous

Mark Gemma is an outstanding lawyer. My case was a slip and fall and was very complicated. Mark always encouraged me. He answered my questions and was always confident and clear in his judgement. He won my case and my settlement was more than I hoped for. His staff was always helpful and professional. I would certainly recommend Mark.

04 Aug, 2015 by Mathew

Andrew has executed with nothing less than absolute athourity and confidence in the law. I am incredibly thankful to have had Andrew representing me on a number of occasions. Also, everyone that I have referred Andrew to in the past has also called me and thanked me for pointing them in the right direction. Professionalism, accuracy, and diligence are the 3 adjectives I think of when describing him in the legal situations.

31 Jul, 2015 by Greg

Working with Andrew has been an extremely positive experience. I've used him twice within a one year period. He provides answer quickly and treats all of his clients with the same priority.

18 Jun, 2013 by Ceferino

I have gone to Attorney Martinous for several different legal matters. He is courteous and professional, easy to talk to, and accessible when I needed to speak with him. He promptly returns phone calls. Martinous Law is quite a beautiful building, inside and out. But what I really appreciate is the convenient onsite parking and accessibility for all his clients. The firm is only a few minutes away from my home. I have referred, and will continue to refer, all of my family and friends to his firm and all have been very satisfied with his firm and staff members. I would not hesitate to return to Attorney Martinous in the future, should I need legal services. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for legal services.

Rory was very helpful with a speeding ticket that I received. He was quick to respond to any questions, big or small. He reached a good resolution for me. I would highly recommend friends and family to Rory- he will be the best defense attorney you will find!

16 Sep, 2024 by Robb ri

Attorney Rory Munns understands the unique traumatizing, diverse, and complex situations that may face the clients he represents, as well as their families and loved ones. He takes on a very compassionate and humanistic approach towards directly connecting with their needs; and he brilliantly combines his approach with an experienced, knowledgeable, confident, well-respected, and innovative legal skillset. This fierce combination allows Attorney Munns to DELIVER FAST, POWERFUL, AND POSITIVE RESULTS! Attorney Rory Munns is nothing at all like what we used to think of when we thought about Rhode Island criminal defense lawyers (or lawyers in general really). We viewed them as just another part of the system; lawyers to us, were the grease that kept the big wheel of Rhode Island Courts to just keep on turning. But Attorney Munns has proven to be different… Much different. He was able to get serious probation violations and criminal arrest charges taken care of properly. He fought for justice in a justice system that isn’t always just. He communicated valuable information to prosecutors, judicial officers, family members and myself with personality, professionalism, confidence, and extremely well-versed legal acumen. He was able to avoid/prevent ACI incarceration holds without bail, when prosecution requested such holds. Whether or not you believe and higher powers such as Santa Claus, God, Allah, Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Greek mythology, science, Angels, demons, Justice, Donald Trump, ancient aliens, saints, or anything else (LOL)… Believe in Attorney Rory Munns, because he is of a higher power in the state of Rhode Island and he can make seemingly divine miracles occur. A nightmare that could have lasted in jail time for many months or longer was converted into a reunited family based solely upon the legal counsel and representation of Attorney Munns. His work with my family and I, his work behind-the-scenes, and his work in the courtroom led to incredible results that were the best of the best. Attorney Munns is stellar and I would absolutely recommend him to any defendant and/or their family members!

In 2018 I needed to find an attorney to help me fight to reverse fourteen years of misattributed paternity. From the consultation forward Attorney Turco was fair and direct regarding the strength and weakness of my position in the matter, allowing me to make a sound educated descion during every step of the process. Once the court room was reached, Attorney Turco's knowledge of caselaw and skillful cross examination of the other party identified elements of fraud which allowed the misattributed paternity to be reversed outside of the normal legal guidelines set by Rhode Island law. As a result of his knowledge and courtroom skills , the fraudulent paternity was reversed.

08 Jul, 2024 by Lucy myers

Attorney Turco did a great job handling my case. He was always available to answer all of my questions and wasn't overpriced. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a family law attorney.

What a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Can Do for You

A workers’ compensation lawyer specializes in helping employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their job to receive the benefits they are entitled to under workers' compensation laws. These lawyers represent injured workers in claims for medical benefits, wage replacement, and other compensation related to workplace injuries or illnesses. They also help when claims are denied, benefits are delayed, or disputes arise with the employer or the insurance company.

Whether you've been injured on the job, developed an occupational illness, or are dealing with a denied workers' compensation claim, a workers’ compensation lawyer can help you navigate the claims process and ensure you receive the full benefits you deserve.

When Should I Hire a Workers' Compensation Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a workers' compensation lawyer in several situations, especially when complications arise during the claims process or when your rights as an injured worker are being challenged. Some common reasons to hire a workers' compensation lawyer include:

Claim denial: If your workers' compensation claim has been denied, a lawyer can help you appeal the decision and represent you in hearings or litigation.
Inadequate benefits: If the insurance company offers you a settlement that doesn’t cover your medical expenses, lost wages, or other damages, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf for a fair amount.
Delay in receiving benefits: If your benefits are being delayed, a lawyer can help expedite the process to ensure you receive timely compensation.
Permanent disability: If your injury leads to permanent disability (partial or total), a lawyer can help you navigate the more complex process of securing long-term benefits.
Retaliation by employer: If your employer retaliates against you for filing a workers' compensation claim (e.g., by firing or demoting you), a lawyer can protect your rights and pursue legal action.
Third-party liability: If a third party (e.g., a contractor or equipment manufacturer) was responsible for your injury, a lawyer can help you pursue additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
Pre-existing conditions: If your employer or the insurance company claims that your injury is related to a pre-existing condition, a lawyer can help you present evidence showing that the injury was work-related.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can prevent delays, avoid mistakes, and ensure you receive all the benefits you’re entitled to under workers' compensation law.

What Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Do?

A workers' compensation lawyer provides a range of legal services to injured workers, ensuring that they receive the benefits they deserve. Their tasks often include:

Filing claims: Helping injured workers prepare and file their workers' compensation claims to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
Appealing denied claims: Representing workers whose claims have been denied and guiding them through the appeals process, including hearings and court appearances.
Negotiating settlements: Negotiating with insurance companies to secure fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
Handling disputes: Resolving disputes between the injured worker, the employer, and the insurance company regarding the amount of compensation or the nature of the injury.
Coordinating medical evidence: Gathering and presenting medical records, expert testimony, and other evidence to support the workers' compensation claim.
Advocating for benefits: Ensuring that injured workers receive all the benefits they’re entitled to, including temporary or permanent disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation, and medical treatment.
Filing third-party lawsuits: In cases where a third party is responsible for the injury, a workers' compensation lawyer may also pursue a personal injury lawsuit to recover additional damages.

How Are Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Paid?

Workers' compensation lawyers typically charge a contingency fee, meaning they only get paid if they successfully recover benefits for you. This fee is usually a percentage of the benefits awarded, and the specific percentage is often regulated by state law. Here's how it generally works:

Contingency fee: The lawyer's fee is typically between 15% and 25% of the total benefits awarded to you. You don’t have to pay any upfront legal fees, and the lawyer’s fee comes out of the settlement or benefit award.
No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t recover any benefits for you, you generally don’t have to pay for their services.
State regulations on fees: Many states cap the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge, and some states require the fee to be approved by the workers' compensation board or judge.

Be sure to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.

How Much Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a workers' compensation lawyer typically depends on the contingency fee arrangement, meaning the lawyer’s fee will be a percentage of the benefits you receive. General cost estimates include:

Contingency fees: Most workers' compensation lawyers charge between 15% and 25% of the total settlement or benefits awarded. For example, if you receive $50,000 in benefits, the lawyer’s fee would range from $7,500 to $12,500.
State regulations: Some states limit the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge. In these cases, the fee is usually capped, often at 20% to 25%, depending on state law.
Additional costs: Some lawyers may charge for out-of-pocket expenses, such as filing fees, medical records retrieval, and expert witness testimony, though these costs are typically deducted from the settlement after the case is won.

You should always ask for a clear explanation of fees and potential additional costs during your consultation so you understand the financial arrangement.

How to Check the Credibility of a Workers' Compensation Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable workers' compensation lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and track record:

Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no disciplinary actions against them.
Look for workers' compensation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in workers' compensation law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s expertise and service.
Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their experience in workers' compensation cases.
Check for professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the Workers' Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG) or local bar association committees on workers' compensation can indicate the lawyer’s commitment to this area of law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most out of your first consultation with a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

Accident report or incident documentation: Bring any documentation related to your workplace injury or illness, including accident reports or notifications to your employer.
Medical records: Provide copies of medical records, including treatment notes, doctor’s reports, and any information related to your injury or condition.
Employer correspondence: Bring any letters, emails, or forms related to your claim from your employer or the workers' compensation insurance company.
Wage and benefits information: Provide information on your wages, benefits, and any lost income due to the injury.
List of questions: Prepare questions about your case, the process, costs, and what to expect moving forward.
Timeline of events: Prepare a timeline of the incident, your injury, and any medical treatment or communication with your employer and the insurance company.

Being well-prepared for your consultation will allow the lawyer to assess your case more effectively and provide you with the best possible legal advice.
