INAIL (Infortuni sul Lavoro): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how INAIL provides medical coverage and salary support for workers injured on the job or during their commute in Italy.
This scheme provides protection and support for workers who suffer an accident while working or while traveling to and from their workplace.
Who it's for
This is for any worker who experiences an injury while performing their job duties or while commuting between their home and their place of work.
What you get
If you are covered, the scheme provides coverage for your medical expenses and provides support for your salary while you are recovering from the injury.
What it costs you
There is no direct cost to the worker. However, for the scheme to work, your employer is required to report the accident to the relevant authorities immediately.
The catch to know
If your accident happens during your commute, the coverage only applies if you were traveling along your direct route.

- Ensure your employer notifies the official insurance body.
- Seek medical attention to document the injury.
- Follow the guidance provided by your employer and the insurance provider regarding documentation.
