A work accident is one that a worker suffers during his work day. Accidents of this type also include those called itinere, that is, on the way from work to home and vice versa. As long as the worker is not to blame for the accident.
A claim can only be made in the case of professional and work accidents when they occurred due to the employer's fault in complying with safety measures.
When requesting compensation for a work accident, it is important to gather in the documentation the results of the work inspections prior to the date of the accident in case a violation report had been issued, which would facilitate the positive outcome of litigation.
In the case of very serious accidents, the police will prepare a report of what happened.
The person responsible for payment in the event of a work accident will be the company responsible for the accident or its civil liability insurance company.
In the event that there are two companies responsible for the accident, contract and principal for example, in most cases they will both be jointly and severally liable.
The vast majority of companies have civil liability insurance, so after identifying the insurance company, we must expand the lawsuit against it or be cited as subsidiary civil liability.
