Navigating workers’ compensation laws in Puerto Rico can be challenging for employers, and Estrella LLC is dedicated to providing the guidance needed to manage these complexities effectively.
Our Labor & Employment practice supports employers in complying with Puerto Rico’s workers’ compensation system, governed by the Puerto Rico State Insurance Fund Corporation (SIFC). We assist in ensuring proper coverage, timely reporting of workplace injuries or illnesses, and adherence to legal obligations.
