This area covers all cases related to occupational accidents, that is, all those bodily injuries that the worker suffers on the occasion or as a consequence of work carried out as an employee (art.115.1 LGSS).
Thus, they must realize three fundamental elements for an occupational accident to occur: bodily injury, work as an employee or self-employed, and the causal relationship between work and injury.
That being said, it should be noted that bodily injury is considered to be damaged caused at work by:
- A wound
- Knock
- Burn
- Drop
- Illness
- Sequelae, mental or psychological illnesses
However, for the work accident to be properly recognized and in order to receive the corresponding compensation, there must be a relationship (direct or indirect) between the injury and the job, for this, a connection must be proven by the injured worker.
Therefore, at The Firm, we provide you with our legal advice as well as our best experts, carrying out a detailed study of your case thorough a physical evaluation and a economic quantification of the injuries caused by your work accident to achieve the best result in defending your procedure.

statistics
Despite technological advances and professional knowledge, there is still a great deficiency in the prevention and training of occupational risks that lead to numerous occupational accidents.
In fact, as can be seen in the statistics, in the last recent years, there has been a significant increase in accidents of a minor and serious nature.
Thus, in our office we firmly believe that the purpose of claiming a work accident is not only to compensate the damage suffered by the worker but to eradicate certain risk behaviors and lack of prevention and occupational safety that unfortunately originate this type of accident.
