The best defense
for your interests
An employee has suffered a serious accident. What consequences does this have for the company?
Currently, criminal charges brought against employers, middle managers, and technicians in workplace accident proceedings are extremely serious, as a single accident often results in two separate charges:
- The offense against workplace safety, which falls under offenses against workers’ rights
- The offense of negligent homicide or negligent injury (depending on whether the worker died or was injured in the accident)
The Criminal Code punishes both offenses with prison and fines, and in the case of negligent homicide or injury, with disqualification from practicing the profession. Therefore, the severity of these penalties makes it essential for companies to entrust their defense to highly specialized professionals.
