Senior Services

An employer has an obligation to guarantee the security and the health of its workers in all the aspects related to the work, but in many cases, the employer fails to meet these obligations, whether from an ignorance of health and safety laws, poor judgement when it comes to preventative labor risks, or an attitude more inclined towards profitability rather than employee health.

When a labour accident occurs, the onus should be on the employer or the employer's insurance company to be able to properly accommodate the needs of the employee, satisfying hospital and medical costs, as well as whatever necessary rehabilitation or retraining is necessary to ensure the speedy return to the workplace.

However, many businesses do not or will not meet these financial obligations, and the employee is left in the awkward position of being unable to work and unable to pay for the medical costs associated with an accident or incident that took place at the place of business.

In these times is may become necessary to retain the legal services of a workplace injury specialist, professionals like Prevenlex: Asesores Jurídicos de Prevención that are labour accident specialists, and are aware of the labour laws and the employer's obligations to employee safety. Representatives like Prevenlex can help workers significantly affected by a labour accident or injury in the workplace, and help them to deal with the matters of health and recovery.
