SOLIDARITY LIABILITY IN THE EVENT OF WORK-RELATED ACCIDENTS

The patrimonial liability is the most common form of liability, being attracted in case of non-compliance with the legal norms, in order to protect the social values indispensable for the normal functioning of a company. Legal employment relationships are one of the most common areas in which joint and several liability is applied, namely in the case of work accidents resulting in personal injury to employees, which can cause them including permanent disabilities and can be caused by deficiencies in specific equipment used, as well as the lack of effective training in the field of labour protection. Establishing guilt and attracting civil liability is done in relation to the concrete conditions of the accident, the duties of employees according to job descriptions, but also the concrete actions they performed during the program or in connection with work duties. The article presents the applicability of the legal norms in the matter of civil liability to a practical case in which the courts have held joint and several liability of employees and employers in case of accidents at work, referring to the legal conditions to be met, with implications in criminal law.
