Greek and foreign employees who suffer personal injury due to an accident during or in association with their employment, resulting to their temporary or permanent disability and inability to work, shall be entitled under the Greek legislation, in most cases, to:
- health care and cover of medical expenses
- pension from the competent national social security fund in cases of permanent, partial or total disability, and
- compensation from their employer for pain and suffering when the accident can be attributed to negligence/fault on the part of the employer or their employees and agents.
Damages to be recovered and the amount of compensation greatly depend on the establishment of liability (fault/negligence) on the part of the employer and/or their employees and agents, and on the evidence that the accident was caused in violation of the national, European or international regulations on employees’ health and safety.
All the aforementioned also apply in cases where death is caused and a compensation for mental anguish shall be received by the deceased person’s close relatives.
