IS THE EMPLOYER LIABLE IF AN EMPLOYEE HAS A WORK ACCIDENT DUE TO THEIR OWN FAULT?

In working life, a work accident or occupational disease can sometimes occur solely as a result of the injured employee's own negligent act. Indeed, if an employee suffers harm in a work accident entirely through their own negligent act, the "adequate causal link" is broken and the employer is not liable for compensation.
