Do you need an expert lawyer to manage your work disability situation?

Specialist Lawyers in Work Disability

We will represent you until the end of the process, including, where applicable, the filing of appeals and subsequent judicial proceedings before the social jurisdiction.

Specialist Lawyers in Work Disability

Step 1: Initial Case Evaluation

We analyse the client’s medical and occupational history to determine the viability of the claim and the degree of disability applicable (partial, total, absolute, or severe disability).

Step 2: Collection of Evidence

We gather medical reports, employment documents, and testimonies supporting the claim, including diagnoses, certificates, and employment relationship information.

Step 3: Submission of the Application

We draft and submit a formal application to the competent authority, such as the National Social Security Institute (INSS).

Step 4: Monitoring of the Administrative Procedure

The lawyer supervises the process, responds to official requests, and prepares the client for the Medical Tribunal evaluation.

Step 5: Administrative Resolution

If approved, the terms are reviewed. In case of denial or disagreement with the assigned degree, a complaint is filed.

Step 6: Preliminary Complaint

An administrative appeal is lodged arguing why the resolution is inadequate. If this fails, judicial proceedings are prepared.

Step 7: Judicial Litigation

The claim is filed before the Employment Tribunal (Juzgado de lo Social). The lawyer represents the client in hearings and, if necessary, appeals to higher courts.

Step 8: Post-Resolution Monitoring and Final Assessment

We advise the client on benefit revisions and intervene if the administration attempts to revoke the disability status. In case of denial, we continue working until the rightful benefits are obtained.
