Accidents in the workplace can happen to anyone. If you’ve suffered an injury while on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. In Italy, the National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work (INAIL) provides coverage and compensation to workers who have suffered injuries or illnesses while performing their job duties. This article will guide you through the process of opening an INAIL injury claim and accessing the benefits you are entitled to.

What is INAIL?

The National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work (INAIL) is a public institution established in Italy to ensure the prevention of work-related accidents and diseases. INAIL also provides medical assistance, rehabilitation, and compensation to workers who have been injured or fallen ill as a result of their work.

Who is eligible for INAIL coverage?

All employees, including part-time workers and apprentices, are eligible for INAIL coverage. Self-employed individuals and students who are involved in internships or apprenticeships are also covered by INAIL.

How to open an INAIL injury claim?

  • 1. Report the incident: As soon as an accident occurs, it is essential to report it to your employer. Make sure to provide all relevant details about the accident, including the date, time, location, and any witnesses present.
  • 2. Seek medical attention: Get immediate medical attention for your injuries. It is crucial to have a medical professional document your injuries and provide a written medical report.
  • 3. Fill out the INAIL claim form: Your employer should provide you with the necessary INAIL claim form. Fill out the form accurately and provide detailed information about the accident and your injuries.
  • 4. Submit the claim: Once the claim form is completed, submit it to your employer. They will send it to the local INAIL office on your behalf.

What happens after filing an INAIL injury claim?

After filing an INAIL injury claim, the local INAIL office will review your claim, medical reports, and supporting evidence. They may also request additional information if needed. INAIL will assess your claim and determine whether you are eligible for compensation. If approved, you will be entitled to benefits such as medical expenses, disability compensation, and rehabilitation services.

What if my INAIL claim is denied?

If your INAIL claim is denied, you have the right to appeal. Contact an experienced workers’ compensation attorney who can help you navigate the appeals process and provide guidance on how to strengthen your claim. It’s important to act quickly as there are strict time limits for filing an appeal.

Opening an INAIL injury claim can be a crucial step towards receiving the compensation and support you need after a work-related accident. Remember to report the incident promptly, seek medical attention, and complete the necessary claim forms. If you face any difficulties or your claim is denied, consult with a workers’ compensation attorney who can guide you through the process and fight for your rights.
