The Accident Assistance benefit is an aid granted to those who suffer an accident and lose some functions permanently. That is, it can no longer work the same way as before.

For example, if someone loses any part of their body at work, it is permanent damage. And it will likely impact the performance of your work. Therefore, these people qualify to receive the Accident Assistance.

Read on to find out how this benefit works in detail.

First, let's show you what Accident Assistance really is. In this sense, this benefit is granted to people who suffer accidents with permanent sequelae. As a result, they cannot perform their jobs in the same way.

The accident can occur in different ways, but the important thing is that there is permanent damage to the person's life. In this way, there is no ruler that measures the size of the accident. 

In this sense, for those who go through this situation, the INSS offers the Accident Assistance benefit. That is, a monthly compensation paid by the INSS. In fact, the benefit lasts a lifetime, that is, it is lifetime, as long as the person is not rehabilitated and returns to the job market. 

In order to qualify for the Accident benefit, it is sufficient to have permanent damage at work. However, when we talk about the amount paid, it directly depends on the nature and severity of the accident. 

Also, another factor to consider is the date of the accident. For the law is constantly changing, and there have been times when this kind of damage was not contemplated.

In this sense, those who suffered an accident or contracted work-related illnesses up to 11/11/2019 are entitled to 50% of their salary as a benefit. 

As we mentioned, from 11/12/2019 to 04/19/2020, the Accident Allowance was not set up in the form of a law. Therefore, for these cases, the rules are a little different.

But if your accident was after 04/20/2020, the rules are the same as the first date we set. In short, it is important to have the help of a lawyer to understand where your accident fits.

That way, you understand which conditions will give you even more advantages. 

In summary, as already mentioned, to receive the Accident Assistance benefit, you must have suffered an accident with permanent sequelae. Plus the accident really diminished his ability to do his usual job.

However, who falls within this law?

Basically, anyone who works and is insured by the INSS, including domestic workers. In addition, independent workers are also covered by the aid.

However, it is worth remembering that in order to actually receive the Accident Assistance, you must contribute to the INSS. 

Finally, as we mentioned, it is very good to have some kind of consultancy in the process of requesting your Accident Assistance. Mainly, in cases of illness at work, which can bring about more subjective situations.

Thus, to find out if you will receive the Accident Assistance, you must first go through some steps. In addition to registering, the worker must also carry out an examination with an INSS doctor. 

All this to understand if you can receive the benefit and also to stipulate the amount of your aid. Therefore, in the recommended article below, we will explain to you better how it works to register.
