Expert disability attorneys in gijon
Does your health prevent you from working and the INSS doesn’t recognize your limitations? When an illness or accident disrupts your working life, financial uncertainty becomes your worst enemy. Facing the Medical Tribunal (EVI) in Asturias or fighting the Social Security system without specialized help usually ends with a denial letter.
I am Manuel Barba, employment attorney in Gijón. I help workers in Gijón transform their medical reports into solid legal arguments to obtain the Permanent Disability benefits they are entitled to by right.
It’s not enough to «be sick». You must legally prove that your conditions eliminate your capacity to perform your usual profession or any job.
How I help you obtain your permanent disability
I have successfully obtained permanent disability recognition for many workers in Asturias. This is our approach:
1
I analyze your clinical and employment case to determine if you meet the requirements for different degrees of permanent disability. I assess the real legal viability before taking any steps.
We prepare the permanent disability application by gathering all necessary medical documentation and specialist reports to prove your limitations before the Medical Board.
If they deny, I file the administrative prior claim request and, if necessary, the judicial lawsuit. I have extensive experience in employment law to defend you in court.
Proper professional assessment and the correct legal strategy are key to getting the INSS to recognize your pension.

I offer you the experience and specialization you need. As a specialist attorney in occupational disability in Asturias (with an office in Avilés, but practicing in Oviedo, Gijón and throughout the region), I thoroughly understand the medical criteria evaluated by the INSS, administrative and judicial procedures, and specific case law on permanent disabilities.
Unlike other generalist permanent disability attorneys, I focus on the medical-legal strategy to win your case. My specialization is your best guarantee for claiming disability.

Degrees of Disability – what can you claim?
Depending on how your conditions affect your work capacity, we will fight for one of the following degrees. It’s vital to request the correct one from the start to avoid closing legal doors.
Partial Permanent Disability
Does not prevent working in your usual profession, but reduces your performance by at least 33%. Entitles you to a lump-sum compensation of 24 monthly payments of your regulatory base.
Absolute Permanent Disability
Disqualifies you from any profession or occupation. Entitles you to receive a monthly pension of 100% of your regulatory base.
Total Permanent Disability
Prevents you from performing your usual profession. Entitles you to receive a monthly pension of 55% of your regulatory base (75% if you are over 55 years old).
Severe Disability
Involves the need for assistance with basic activities of daily living. Includes an additional financial supplement.
I calculate your compensation and explain whether you can claim reinstatement or maximum legal compensation.
What to do if the INSS denies your Permanent Disability?
This is the most common situation in Gijón: you have chronic pain, consequences from an accident or serious illness, but the INSS clears you for work or denies your application claiming that «the injuries are not definitive».
Don’t give up. The Administration systematically denies a high percentage of applications at the administrative level. As a disability specialist attorney, my job is to reverse that decision through a dual strategy:
- Medical Analysis: Comprehensive review of your medical history and collaboration with medical experts if necessary.
- Legal Defense: Arguments based on the case law of the Social Courts of Gijón and the High Court of Justice of Asturias.
Your plan to obtain your permanent disability in 3 simple steps
Many general practice firms simply file paperwork. I build a winning case. This is how I protect your rights:
- Viability Study (Brutal Honesty): I analyze your medical documentation and work history. If your case is not viable, I will tell you clearly so you don’t waste money. If I see it as viable, we go all out.
- Preparation of the Prior Claim: If the INSS denies, we have 30 days to file the Prior Claim. It’s not just a formality; it’s the foundation of the future lawsuit. Here I detail all the errors in the INSS medical assessment.
- Trial in the Social Courts: If the administrative route fails (which is common), I file the judicial lawsuit. I defend your case before the magistrates in Gijón providing compelling evidence and medical expert testimony.

Frequently Asked Questions About Permanent Disability
What can I do if the INSS has denied my permanent disability?
It's very common for the INSS to reject valid claims. You can file a prior administrative appeal within 30 business days, and if they don't reverse their decision, proceed to Social Court.
I analyze your case and explain whether you can win your claim.
How long does the permanent disability process take?
It depends on whether it's resolved administratively or through the courts. Generally, the initial phase before the Social Security Institute can take 2 to 6 months. If litigation is necessary, the process may extend several additional months.
I'll explain the real deadlines and guide you through every step.
Can I apply for disability if I am already receiving unemployment benefits or medical leave?
Yes. You can start the application while on sick leave or receiving unemployment benefits, provided your medical condition is stable and prevents you from working in your usual profession.
I'll help you assess the best time to file it.
Do I need an attorney to apply for permanent disability?
While not mandatory, having a specialized attorney increases your chances of success and prevents errors in documentation or deadlines.
What is the difference between total disability, absolute disability, and severe disability?
Total disability prevents you from working in your usual profession, absolute disability prevents work in any profession, and severe disability requires assistance with basic daily living activities.
I analyze your case and explain which benefits you're entitled to based on your medical condition.
How much can I receive if I am granted permanent disability?
It depends on your regulatory base and the recognised grade. For example, total disability is 55% of your base, absolute disability 100%, and severe disability adds a further supplement.
