Work Accidents: Compensation and Professional Legal Assistance

Introduction

Work accidents are unexpected events that cause physical or mental harm to employees during their work, on their way to or from work, or due to working conditions. If you have been injured in a work accident, it is crucial to understand your rights and how to claim the compensation you deserve. Averbuch Law Firm specializes in representing clients in work accident claims, occupational diseases, and ensuring our clients receive the compensation and benefits they are entitled to in the most efficient and professional manner.

What Are Work Accidents?

Work accidents occur when an employee is injured while performing their duties or on their way to and from work. These accidents can include physical injuries, occupational diseases, or other work-related conditions. Work accidents can occur in any workplace and industry, encompassing a wide range of damages and types of injuries.

Types of Work Accidents

Physical Injuries

Physical injuries include bodily harm resulting from an accident during work. This may involve fractures, head injuries, back injuries, broken teeth, and more severe injuries such as limb loss. These injuries may lead to temporary or permanent disability and high medical costs.

Occupational Diseases

Occupational diseases are illnesses caused by prolonged exposure to harmful working conditions, such as chemicals, loud noise, or harsh environmental factors. These diseases may include lung cancer, chronic inflammations, and more.

Health Condition Deterioration

Health condition deterioration refers to a worsening of an employee’s health due to poor working conditions, such as excessive workload, psychological stress, or a lack of safety measures. This can impact daily functioning and quality of life.

The Legal Process in Work Accident Claims

Initial Consultation

The first step in the process is an initial legal consultation. During the meeting, attorneys at Averbuch Law Firm will assess your legal status and determine whether you have grounds for a claim. This consultation helps you understand your rights and available options.

Gathering Evidence

Once a decision is made to proceed with the claim, the next step is gathering evidence. This includes collecting medical records, police reports, accident scene photos, witness statements, and any other materials that support your claim. In work accident cases, it is essential to gather evidence proving the cause of the accident and the damages incurred.

Managing the Claim

At this stage, attorneys will prepare all necessary legal documents, submit the claim to the court or relevant insurance institution, and manage the legal proceedings. This includes filing claims, responding to the opposing party, and presenting the case in court if necessary.

Filing a Claim with the National Insurance Institute

As part of the process, a claim will be filed with the National Insurance Institute to recognize the injury as a work accident or occupational disease. Following this, a request will be made to determine the degree of disability. The compensation received will be based on the percentage of disability determined by the medical committee.

Filing a Claim Against the Employer

If the employer failed to meet the required safety standards according to regulations, a claim can be filed against them for exposing the worker to unreasonable risks and violating occupational safety laws.

Negotiation and Settlement

Most claims are resolved through negotiation and settlement with the opposing party or insurance companies. During the process, attorneys at Averbuch Law Firm will negotiate to obtain the best possible compensation for you. Our goal is to reach a fair settlement without subjecting you to prolonged legal proceedings.

Court and Judgment

If a settlement is not possible, the claim will be filed in court. Our attorneys will represent you in legal proceedings and ensure your rights are protected. At the conclusion of the process, the court will determine liability and the amount of compensation you are entitled to.
