Abstract Occupational accidents and diseases are the source of many disputes given the numerous interrelationships between medical and administrative aspects involved in their compensation. This article reviews the main elements which may give rise to litigation in France, while distinguishing between the factors that are strictly medical in nature as opposed to those that are regulatory or administrative.
