The employer must notify the Social Security Institution electronically within three working days of the work accident (Law 5510 art. 13). Late or missing notification triggers administrative fines and may broaden the institution's recourse rights. The employee retains the right to apply directly. The outcome depends on the specific evidence and the court's assessment; consult an attorney for your individual situation.

Decisions of the Social Security Institution on work accidents or occupational diseases must first be challenged through an internal objection; if rejected, a declaratory action may be brought before the labor court. After a finding that the event qualifies as a work accident, compensation and recourse actions become possible. Time limits depend on the action type. The outcome depends on the specific evidence and the court's assessment; consult an attorney for your individual situation.
