Social Security Law

Social security law covers legal regulations that secure individuals’ health, retirement, unemployment and other social security rights. Social security is a system in which the state provides various services to its citizens in order to provide them with a certain standard of living. This area includes many important issues such as benefiting from health services by paying insurance premiums, providing for a living during retirement, and receiving compensation due to work accidents or occupational diseases.

Social security law is a system that protects the rights of workers, tradesmen, freelancers and retirees. This branch of law determines the responsibilities of employees, employers and the state. It also includes legal regulations on how contributions to the social security system will be used and the effectiveness of this system. Social security cases are a frequently encountered and quite complex area, as they include issues such as premium debts, retirement procedures, work accidents and occupational diseases.
