What is permanent disability?
Permanent work disability is a status granted to a worker who, due to the severity of injuries suffered in an accident, makes it impossible for them to continue their work activities normally, for a period exceeding one year after the incident occurs.
In this sense, the worker can receive the benefit of permanent disability compensation, which will be delivered by social security, so that they can have access to an amount of money that allows them to cover their essential expenses, as long as they meet the requirements demanded by the agency.
With the help of a legal advisor you will be able to know each of your rights in this type of situation, as well as the requirements you must meet to obtain the benefits you deserve due to permanent disability after a construction accident.
