The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that the rules of limitation applicable to compensation for moral damages derived from occupational accidents and occupational diseases are the rules of common law, according to the express reference of article 69 of Law No. 16.744, and not the limitation period established in article 79 of the same law. In support of this position, it relies on the judicial jurisprudence issued for that purpose.
