Supreme Court of Rhode Island

William P. McGloin v. Trammellcrow Services, Inc.

February 5, 20102010 R.I. LEXIS 18

Summary

The Supreme Court of Rhode Island reversed the Appellate Division, holding that Mr. McGloin’s injury occurred within the period of employment, at a place his employer could reasonably expect him to be, and while he was engaged in duties incidental to his job, thus satisfying the Di Libero nexus test and entitling him to workers’ compensation. The Court declined to adopt a portal‑to‑portal rule, emphasizing the unique facts of the case.
