Employment Attorney Specializing in Construction Accidents in Asturias

The construction sector is one with the highest accident rates. I understand how difficult it is to face the physical and psychological aftermath of a fall from height, entrapment, or machinery accident due to lack of safety measures.

In these situations, the worker feels unprotected. Main companies and subcontractors often try to avoid their responsibility, blaming the worker for «overconfidence,» while Workers’ Compensation Insurance Companies pressure for premature medical discharges.

My clients seek something very simple: knowing they are not alone, that someone will investigate the truth of the accident and that they will obtain the fair compensation that allows them to move forward.

You don’t have to do it alone.

I am Manuel Barba, employment attorney in Asturias specializing in construction workplace accidents. I handle establishing liability, demanding benefit surcharges and defending your interests before the company, the insurance company and the National Social Security Institute (INSS).

Don’t delay resolving your problem

Have you suffered an accident and the company has not notified the Labor Inspection? Have they dismantled the defective scaffolding before it was investigated?

In construction accidents, time works against you. Accident scenes are cleaned, evidence is altered and witnesses (often coworkers afraid of losing their jobs) may change their initial version.

Waiting without legal advice can mean:

• Losing evidence of corporate negligence or violation of Occupational Risk Prevention regulations.

• Losing the right to compensation for damages (Civil Liability).

• Being left without recognition of Permanent Disability if the injuries prevent you from returning to work in your usual profession.

Act now. Every day that passes without intervention can ruin your claim.

What do I offer you? An initial action plan

A clear plan to take control of the situation from the first minute, ensuring that the real causes of the accident are investigated rigorously:

1. I analyze your case and secure the evidence: We review the police report, the accident report, the risk assessment and verify if there was proper Coordination of Business Activities (CAE) between the developer, contractor and subcontractor.

2. I design the medical and legal strategy: I advise you on how to act against the insurance company, challenging improper medical discharges and preparing the ground to evaluate your bodily injuries with medical experts specializing in bodily harm assessment.

3. I defend your position on all fronts: We claim before the labor jurisdiction (benefit surcharges and disabilities) and demand employer civil liability and even criminal liability for safety violations.
