Legal support in cases of workplace harassment, work accidents and protection of workers’ rights

Workplace harassment and work accidents are situations that can seriously affect a worker’s health, professional stability and personal life. Harassment may take the form of repeated behaviour involving pressure, humiliation, isolation, intimidation or degrading treatment. Work accidents may result in injuries, temporary or permanent incapacity, medical expenses and entitlement to compensation. We assist in analysing the facts, gathering documents, assessing the worker’s rights and defining the appropriate strategy. Action may involve complaints to the employer, insurers or competent authorities, as well as court proceedings where necessary to ensure the protection of the client’s rights.

Frequently Asked Questions

We clarify some of the most common questions about workplace harassment, work accidents, insurance, compensation and workers’ rights.

What may be considered workplace harassment?
Workplace harassment may include repeated behaviour such as humiliation, intimidation, isolation, unjustified pressure, persecution, insults or degrading treatment in the workplace context. The assessment depends on the facts, the frequency of the conduct and the evidence available.
Relevant evidence may include emails, messages, witnesses, medical reports, internal records, communications to the employer and any material showing the conduct suffered and its impact on professional or personal life.
You should report the accident to the employer, seek medical assistance and keep all medical documents, reports, expenses and communications received. It is also important to confirm whether the accident has been reported to the insurer.
There may be an entitlement to compensation, a pension, payment of medical expenses or compensation for temporary or permanent incapacity. Rights depend on the injuries, the degree of incapacity, the liability established and the circumstances of the accident.
