Abstract

Judicial medical expertise is necessary to verify the cause and effect relationship between the emergence or worsening of any disease and the work activities performed by an individual in a certain position or function, and the medical judicial expert must consider the particularities of the workplace. The objective was to analyze the national jurisprudence regarding the need to carry out an inspection of the workplace in judicial medical expertise. The methodology used in this article was bibliographic research, through the search for scientific articles in databases. Divergent jurisprudence was found on the indispensability or not of carrying out an expertise or visiting the workplace in judicial medical expertise.
