Nieuw Onderzoek | Arbeidsmigranten worden relatief vaker slachtoffer van een bedrijfsongeval. De zaken die daarover worden aangespannen vinden vrijwel altijd achter gesloten deuren plaats. In 90 procent van de gevallen komt de zaak niet voor de rechter.

Honderden letselschadezaken per jaar na ongevallen arbeidsmigranten | Investico Onderzoeksjournalisten

Letselschadebureaus staan honderden gewonde arbeidsmigranten bij per jaar, die onder druk en onveilige omstandigheden werkten. De migranten keren terug met verbrijzelde voeten of geamputeerde armen.
