SECTION 45-21-31
§ 45-21-31 Offset of workers' compensation or personal injury recovery. – Any amounts paid or payable under the provisions of any workers' compensation law, or as the result of any action for damages for personal injuries against the municipality by which the member was employed, on account of death or disability of a member occurring while in the performance of duty, are offset against and payable in lieu of any benefits payable out of funds provided by the municipality under the provisions of this chapter on account of the death or disability of the member.
