NAVARRO ESPIGARES, José Luis e MARTIN SEGURA, José Aureliano. Evaluación económica del daño moral en el ámbito de los accidentes de trabajo: un método basado en indicadores estadísticos normalizados. Med. segur. trab. [online]. 2008, vol.54, n.211, pp.01-13. ISSN 1989-7790.
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 employers 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.
