When dealing with workplace accident claims, there is a specific procedure to follow. This process involves a set timeframe in which the defendants must acknowledge the claim and provide a response. However, delays often occur as defendants may request extensions to prepare their replies.
In practice, defendants do not always comply with the designated timeframes and frequently seek extensions for submitting their responses. Unfortunately, there is no legal mechanism to compel them to reply within the initial few months allocated for their response.
It is essential to highlight that the compensation process following a workplace accident is a preliminary procedure that does not involve court intervention at this stage. As a result, our control over the timeline is somewhat limited, with a few exceptions. Nevertheless, as legal representatives, we employ all available legal avenues to expedite the process as much as possible.
To gain deeper insight into this process, we spoke with Maria Tiron, a Romanian lawyer working at Osbornes, who confirmed that Osbornes Law is among the most well-prepared firms in handling such claims. Their extensive experience and dedication make them a trusted choice for workplace accident cases.
For more complex cases, claimants should be aware that the duration of a case can range from 2 to 4 years, depending on factors such as:
- The severity of the injuries
- The recovery period
- The defendant’s stance on admitting or disputing liability for the accident
