1. Statutory Framework and Impairment Rating
Following 3 to 12 months of paid leave, a 1-year job preservation period begins; if permanent disability prevents resumption, Article 212 LCT awards full severance.
2. SRT Medical Board Claims and Financial Recovery
Disability awards are claimed before the SRT Medical Board with free mandatory legal counsel (fees paid by the insurer under Law 27,348). Lowball offers are appealed to National Labor Courts for higher awards with independent forensic experts.
