ULTIMATE RECOURSE Workplace Accidents and Occupational Diseases on Trial

24 March 2026

GS. LONGELLES

Delphine Serre, Professor of Sociology at Université Paris Cité (Cerlis), will present her book Ultime recours (Ultimate Recourse). Drawing on an original investigation, she examines the often invisible legal struggles surrounding workplace accidents and occupational diseases, pitting employees against employers in court. The book highlights inequalities in access to social rights and questions their effective enforcement in the context of an overburdened and constrained justice system.
