Resum
Two recent Social Supreme Court rulings have put an end to the jurisprudential doctrine that prevented the "unfair enrichment" of an injured worker. This doctrine exempted the employer from the obligation of repairing the damage caused by work accidents or occupational diseases, stemming from breaches of the employer’s security obligations. The jurisprudential change requires addressing the economic quantification of the various components of workers’ compensation. Our study offers a novel method for assessing the economic value of moral damage based on Quality Adjusted Life Years lost by workers who suffer a work accident. The proposed method is presented as an alternative that is more appropriate than the use of the traffic scale.
