WORK
ACCIDENTS

The compensation awarded in these circumstances results from the very specific provisions of the Labor Code and the Social Security Code.

In general, for accidents at work, compensation is less favorable than for accidents under common law. The only advantage lies in the fact that the salary is maintained (payment by the social organization and possibly supplemented by additional guarantees taken out) in full during the first month and at 80% thereafter until consolidation.

However, in the event of inexcusable fault on the part of the employer, it is possible to seize the competent court to obtain much more complete compensation.

The intervention of a lawyer in addition to that of the medical advisor is essential in such a context, especially since this type of accident is subject to complex legal provisions.
