INTRODUCTION
Work-related accidents are still a hot topic in today's society. Despite significant progress in the field of prevention, in 2019, according to health insurance reports, the number of recognized accidents at work was still 655,715. These accidents often give rise to legal disputes, and it is not only the victim who is ordered to pay compensation to repair the damage suffered, but also criminal liability.
There are various types of litigation likely to be encountered following an industrial accident, and their names and related procedures were revised a few years ago. The main features of each will be described in this article, before moving on to a portrait of criminal liability, describing the mission of labour inspectors, the initiation and initiation of prosecution, the various convictions and the consequences that may ensue.
