Abstract

Today, after the transformation of social relations, the material legal regulation of these relations has changed fundamentally: new laws were published – Law on State Social Insurance, Law on Sickness and Maternity Social Insurance and many other laws. Accidents at work, diseases due to an accident at work, on the way to work of from work, or occupational disease benefit were analyzed little in research projects and studies, therefore in the master‘s final paper the focal attention is paid namely to the diseases due to an accident at work, on the way to work or from work, or occupational disease benefit in Lithuanian social welfare jurisprudence and amenability application practice. Working people pay State Social Insurance fee monthly, and after retirement on a pension, after becoming invalid, or sick, after starting a family, or losing a spouse, get corresponding allowances from the State Social Insurance fund „SODRA“. People, who do not pay fees, do not have a right to the guarantees of the Social Insurance. The guarantees for employees in case of incapacity to work are itemized in the Labour Code and other concerned laws. Diseases due to accidents at work, on the way to work or from work, or occupational disease benefit at work is predicated as an independent legal institute, defining the importance of the disease benefit, compensating the detriment made on the employee‘s health and warranting the social security in case of incapacity to work.
