Criminal defence and victim representation following fatal or serious workplace, construction, energy and industrial safety incidents in Georgia.

A workplace accident triggers police, labour-safety and technical inquiries while responsibility among the employer, director, contractor, supervisor and worker remains unresolved. The correct legal route depends on the documents, the participant's procedural status, the investigating authority and the current stage—not simply the label attached to the accusation.

Breach of safety regulations during dangerous works

No automatic classification

Article references are not predictions of guilt or final legal advice. Investigators may open a case under one provision and prosecutors, defence counsel or the court may later support a different classification. Always verify the current Georgian text, the relevant article part and the complete case file.
