Susan T. Duffy v. Sandra A. Powell

Summary

The Supreme Court held that G.L. 1956 § 28‑41‑6 bars a claimant from receiving temporary disability insurance benefits when the claimant has received a lump‑sum workers’ compensation settlement that covers the same period of disability. Accordingly, the Court quashed the District Court’s order granting benefits and remanded for further proceedings consistent with that interpretation.
