When to Call the Court
Call the court if you need to schedule a hearing, request a docket, or ask about case status. The court also accepts calls for general information about filing deadlines and required documentation.
Preparing for Your Call
Before dialing, gather the following:
- Case number or claim reference
- Full name of the employee and employer
- Date of injury or incident
- Any correspondence from the court or insurer
Having this information on hand reduces wait time and ensures the clerk can locate your file quickly.
Other Contact Methods
In addition to the main line, the court offers an online portal for case status updates and electronic document submission. Email is available at wcc@ri.gov, but responses may take longer than a phone call.
Hours of Operation
The court operates Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding public holidays. Calls outside these hours are forwarded to the voicemail system, where a recorded message provides next steps.
Common Phone Etiquette
When speaking with court staff, keep the conversation concise. State your name, purpose, and request clearly. If you are not in the U.S., note the time zone difference to avoid missed connections.
What to Do If You Encounter a Wrong Number
Dialing the wrong number is common. If the call goes to a non‑court line, politely ask for the correct WCC number or request the caller to return the call. The court's website lists a secondary contact: 401‑555‑9876, dedicated to urgent appeals.
Post‑Call Follow‑Up
After the call, send a confirmation email summarizing the discussion. Include any reference numbers given, and note the next scheduled date if applicable.
