Workplace accidents
Workplace accidents often stem from the absence of health and safety measures. Assessing the conduct of the company and its employees is essential, and may reveal an offence against workers' rights as defined under our Criminal Code.

What compensation can be claimed in the event of a workplace accident caused by the employer's failure to provide safety measures?
After a traffic accident, it is possible to claim compensation for the personal injury and material damage suffered. This includes temporary injuries, after-effects, aesthetic harm, loss of quality of life and financial losses arising from the accident.
Correctly assessing these items requires applying the current legal scale (baremo), as well as analysing the specific circumstances of each case to avoid receiving compensation lower than what is actually due.
Not necessarily. In many cases, the claim can be resolved through negotiation with the insurance company, thereby avoiding legal proceedings.
However, when the insurer's offer is inadequate or liability is not acknowledged, it becomes necessary to go to court to secure fair compensation.
As a general rule, the time limit for making a claim is one year from the stabilisation of the injuries, or from the date of the accident in the case of material damage.
However, this period may vary depending on the circumstances, so it is advisable to start proceedings as soon as possible to avoid losing your rights.
Is compensation for damages independent of the surcharge on benefits, occupational incapacity or non-disabling permanent injuries?
When a workplace accident occurs due to a lack of safety measures, the worker can claim compensation for the personal injury and financial losses suffered.
In addition, the employer's failure to comply with prevention obligations may give rise to additional liability that increases the amount of compensation.
Yes, compensation for damages is compatible with other benefits such as the surcharge on benefits, occupational incapacity or compensation for permanent injuries.
Each serves a different purpose, so it is essential to review the case as a whole in order not to waive any rights.
The general time limit for making a claim is usually one year from the stabilisation of the injuries or from when the full extent of the harm becomes known.
Since there are particularities depending on the type of action, it is advisable to act quickly and obtain specialist advice.
