Lawyer for accident and injury at work claims in Toulouse

What you need to know about workplace accidents

According to Article L 411-1 of the Code de la Sécurité sociale (Code on Social Security), a workplace accident is defined as any accident that occurs to an employee while they’re performing their duties, regardless of the origin of the incident.

Employees who are victims of workplace accidents often suffer serious psychological or physical damage and, in some cases, retain significant disabilities such as paraplegia or paralysis. Compensation for the harm suffered is therefore a crucial phase for victims, helping them regain their dignity and remedy their loss of autonomy. However, compensation for workplace injuries is a sensitive issue that requires the intervention of a competent lawyer to ensure the victim’s defence and secure the appropriate redress for their personal injury.
