Authors

The Authors examine the critical issues that can arise in relation to the medical-legal evaluation of impairments caused by work-related accidents if included together with common diseases, i.e. not due to work or war, in the assessment to qualify for ordinary incapacity benefits from INPS (the Italian Social Security Institute).After a brief introduction to the Italian laws and regulations in this sector, the Authors present some emblematic cases to highlight operational procedures and consequent practical difficulties that a correct attribution of origin to injury - whether work-related or otherwise - can entail.
