SOCIAL SECURITY PENSIONS AND SURCHARGES
As a result of an accident in the workplace, the affected worker has the right to claim the corresponding level of disability allowance, ranging from compensation for partial permanent disability to total disability which is granted when the worker is unable to perform basic daily tasks on their own and requires assistance.

INCREASE IN DISABILITY PENSION UP TO 50%
Furthermore, if the accident is due to a lack of adequate safety measures, the company may be required to pay a surcharge on benefits. This means that the disability pension can be increased by up to 50% of the worker's benefits. For more information, you can find details here:
CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES DUE TO WORKPLACE ACCIDENTS
In addition to the above, there is also civil liability for claims of damages resulting from physical and emotional consequences caused by the accident. It is necessary to examine the insurance policies that cover the accident, whether they are collective bargaining agreements or civil liability policies, if there is such an agreement.
