National Workers' Compensation Authority
Plain English
It's the public body that insures workers against accidents at work and occupational illness. Employers register and pay premiums for their staff, and INAIL handles claims, medical care, and compensation for affected workers.
Why it matters
If you\'re hurt at work or while commuting, your case is managed by INAIL. They can pay for medical care, time off, and long-term disability.
Real example
"After a forklift accident in Pordenone, Mahmoud spent 4 weeks recovering. The hospital reports went to INAIL, which covered the medical care and paid him an indemnity for the time he couldn't work."
Common confusion
INAIL covers work and commute-related events. General illnesses and injuries away from work go through the SSN and INPS sickness leave, not INAIL.
