Many jobs imply carrying out risky activities that must governed by established security rules, directed to health protection and to protect the physical integrity of the worker. It is the entrepreneur’s duty to manage the sufficient means to avoid these accidents and it is the worker’s duty to respect the above mentioned security rules
However, in some occasions, the occurrence of en accident is unavoidable and the enterprise is obliged to give to the worker the means necessary for his/ her health care and to pay an indemnity for the harm that the accident had caused him/ her.
The labour accidents which result on death are a part of Law which is somehow ambiguous because they are related to different legal specialities. In occasions it is only wise to follow the affair through the Criminal Courts, in other cases, it is best to bring the affair to the Civil, or to the Labour Courts.

For this reason, we put the best of our efforts to defend those cases entrusted to us, to guarantee the best result possible so as to lighten the burden and negative effects of those harmed as victims of labour accidents.
