In such situations, it’s important to act quickly and correctly to preserve your right to compensation and rehabilitation.

What is considered a workplace injury?
Under Polish law, a workplace injury includes:
• an unexpected event caused by an external factor, occurring during work or in connection with its performance
• in some cases, incidents occurring on the way to or from work (under specific conditions)
• an occupational disease that develops as a result of work
First steps after the incident
✅ inform your supervisor or HR department
✅ seek medical help and keep all medical documentation
✅ document the situation: photos, videos, witness statements
✅ make sure a workplace accident protocol is completed
How to receive compensationIf you are insured against workplace accidents (this is usually provided by the employer), you are entitled to compensation.
Compensation may include:
📌 a one-time payment for permanent or long-term health damage
📌 an amount depending on the percentage of disability
For example, from April 1, 2024, the payment per 1% of health damage is approximately 1431 PLN.
Why consultation is important
For migrants, the situation can be more complicated because of:
• lack of knowledge about rights
• language barriers
• the need for document translation
• strict deadlines for submitting applications
Missing deadlines may result in losing the right to benefits.
