Short answer: An Istanbul work-accident lawyer pursues maddi/manevi and support-of-livelihood compensation claims for occupational injury, occupational disease and fatal accidents; SGK records and the employer's safety duty are central evidence at the labour court.

Work accident law protects the rights of workers who suffer injuries or illnesses due to their work. From compensation claims to employer liability, from social security applications to fatal accident cases, we fight for the rights you deserve. Our firm has handled 30+ work-accident files, focusing on evidence preservation, fault-ratio analysis and actuarial damage calculation in line with Turkish occupational-safety legislation.
In Turkey, work accidents are governed by the Labor Act No. 4857, Occupational Health and Safety Act No. 6331, and Social Security Act No. 5510. Employers bear strict liability for workplace safety, and the fault ratio directly impacts compensation amounts. Timely SSI notification, proper disability assessment, and accurate actuarial calculations are critical to maximizing your recovery.
Our work accident services include material and moral compensation claims, fatal accident (loss of support) lawsuits, occupational disease cases, SSI disability determination follow-up, employer liability investigations, workplace safety audits, and permanent disability pension applications.
