Workplace Accident Attorney in Gijón
Claim your maximum compensation Review your compensation with me before signing anythingmanuel barba
You went to work healthy and returned home injured. A workplace accident changes your life in a second. While you worry about your physical recovery in the hospital or at home, the company and the Workers’ Compensation Insurance are already activating their legal machinery to pay as little as possible.
I am Manuel Barba, employment attorney in Gijón. My mission is clear: to prove that your accident could have been prevented and ensure that the insurance company and the employer pay you every last euro that the law requires.
⚠️ Important: You have 1 year to claim compensation for Civil Liability. If you let time pass waiting to «fully recover» without interrupting the deadline, you could lose thousands of euros.
Have you suffered a workplace accident in Gijón?
It’s the number 1 mistake of workers in Asturias: thinking that Workers’ Compensation takes care of everything. Workers’ Compensation only covers medical care and sick leave payments (Temporary Disability). But, who pays for your permanent injuries, your pain and your future losses?
In high-risk sectors in Gijón, such as metalworking, construction (industrial areas of Roces, Tremañes) or the service sector, many accidents occur due to lack of safety measures. If that’s your case, you’re entitled to much more than just sick leave.
The triple claim, everything you can collect
1
Civil Liability
If the accident occurred due to a company safety omission (wet floor, lack of harness, defective machinery, lack of training), we claim compensation from the Collective Bargaining Agreement Insurance or the company’s Liability Insurance.
Benefit surcharge
This is the key to a good employment attorney. If we prove that the company violated the Occupational Risk Prevention Law, we request that your pension or disability benefits be increased by 30% to 50%.
Social Security Benefits
We fight to ensure recognition of the correct degree of disability (Total, Absolute or Severe Disability) resulting from workplace accident, which guarantees better pensions than if it were due to common illness.

How do I prove the company was at fault?
To win a workplace accident case in the Labor Courts of Gijón, we need compelling evidence. My investigative work begins on day 1:
- Report to Labor Inspection: I request that an inspector visit the company, issue a Violation Report and sanction the company. This document is pure gold for the trial.
- Biomechanical Report and Medical Experts: I work with experts who demonstrate that your injuries are consistent with the accident mechanics.
- Witness Collection: I speak with your coworkers to establish the lack of prior safety measures.
This is the plan to claim your compensation in 3 simple steps
Go to the emergency room immediately
Whether to Hospital de Cabueñes, Hospital de Jove or the corresponding Workers’ Compensation. Demand that the medical report states it was «at work».
Don’t sign anything for the company
If they pressure you to sign a document waiving liability or describing the accident in a way that blames you, don’t sign.
Contact me as soon as possible
Send me photos of the accident site, machinery, footwear, etc.
Why trust your case to Manuel Barba?
Defending an injured worker requires facing large insurance companies and the company’s attorneys.
- Contingency Fees: In compensation claims, I charge a percentage of what you recover. If you don’t collect, I don’t collect.
- Local Experience: I know the Labor Court judges in Gijón and how Workers’ Compensation operates in our city.
- Comprehensive Service: I handle both the criminal case (if there’s a crime against worker safety) and the civil case.
