What Is a ARL Occupational Accident Indemnification Request Colombia?

The ARL Occupational Accident Indemnification Request Colombia (Solicitud de Indemnización ARL por Accidente de Trabajo) is the formal written claim that an injured worker submits to their Administradora de Riesgos Laborales (ARL) to receive a lump-sum indemnification (indemnización por incapacidad permanente parcial — IPP) after suffering a workplace accident (accidente de trabajo) that caused a permanent partial loss of working capacity between 5% and 49.99% of their normal capacity. Colombia's occupational risk system — the Sistema General de Riesgos Laborales (SGRL) — is governed by Ley 1562 de 2012, which replaced the earlier Decreto Ley 1295 de 1994 as the primary statute for occupational health and safety.

An accidente de trabajo in Colombia is defined by Article 3 of Ley 1562 de 2012 as any sudden event caused by the occasion or performance of work that produces injury or functional disturbance, permanent or temporary, in the worker. The definition explicitly covers accidents occurring during the normal workday at the employer's premises, during activities ordered by the employer outside the normal workday or outside the employer's premises, during union activities while the worker performs duties as a union representative, during recreational or cultural activities sponsored by the employer, during transport between the worker's home and workplace (accidente in itinere), and during execution of activities at home when the employer has authorized telework.

The ARL — an insurance entity authorized by the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia and supervised by the Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social — is responsible for all benefits arising from workplace accidents and occupational diseases, including medical and rehabilitation benefits, temporary disability payments, and permanent disability indemnifications or pensions. The ARL contribution rate is paid entirely by the employer and ranges from 0.348% to 8.7% of the Ingreso Base de Cotización (IBC) depending on the occupational risk class (clase de riesgo I through V) assigned under Decreto 1072 de 2015 based on the employer's CIIU economic activity code.

When a workplace accident causes a PCL between 5% and 49.99%, the resulting benefit is the indemnización por incapacidad permanente parcial (IPP) — a one-time lump-sum payment (indemnización por suma global) calculated under Article 5 of Ley 776 de 2002. The IPP amount equals up to 24 months of the worker's salary (salario base) for a total PCL of 49.99%, scaled proportionally for lower PCL percentages. For PCL of 50% or more arising from a workplace accident, the benefit shifts from indemnification to a full disability pension (pensión de invalidez de origen laboral) paid monthly by the ARL at 60%-75% of the IBC.

The PCL determination in occupational accident cases follows the same process as non-occupational disability: the Junta Regional de Calificación de Invalidez applies Decreto 1507 de 2014 to determine the PCL percentage and — critically — the origin of the incapacity (laboral vs. común). The ARL must initiate the PCL qualification process when the worker has received maximum temporary disability benefits (180 days of incapacidad temporal, extendable to 540 days under Decreto 1072 de 2015) and has not fully recovered. The FURAT (Formulario Único de Reporte de Accidentes de Trabajo), required under Decreto 1072 de 2015 Article 2.2.4.6.33, must be filed by the employer within two business days of the accident — failure to file FURAT on time is an administrative violation sanctioned by the Ministerio de Trabajo.

When Do You Need a ARL Occupational Accident Indemnification Request Colombia?

The ARL Occupational Accident Indemnification Request Colombia must be filed in the following circumstances under Ley 1562 de 2012, Ley 776 de 2002, and Decreto 1072 de 2015.

After Junta PCL Rating of 5%-49.99% (Occupational Origin): Once the Junta Regional de Calificación de Invalidez has issued a dictamen confirming a PCL between 5% and 49.99% from a workplace accident (accidente de trabajo), the affected worker submits this request to the ARL for payment of the IPP lump-sum indemnification under Article 5 of Ley 776 de 2002. The dictamen must specify both the PCL percentage and the occupational origin (origen laboral) of the injury.

After Maximum Temporary Disability Period: When a worker has received ARL incapacidad temporal payments (equivalent to 100% of the IBC) for 180 days — extendable up to 540 days with EPS continuation under Decreto 1072 de 2015 — and remains partially disabled, the ARL must initiate the PCL qualification process. Following the Junta's dictamen showing a PCL below 50% of occupational origin, the worker files this IPP indemnification request.

Employer Liability Cases (Not Covered by ARL): When the workplace accident occurred while the worker was not formally affiliated with any ARL — because the employer failed to affiliate the worker or pay ARL contributions — the employer bears direct liability for all benefits, including the IPP indemnification. In such cases, the worker files this request against the employer rather than the ARL, and may simultaneously claim before the Ministerio de Trabajo for the employer's violation of Article 13 of Decreto Ley 1295 de 1994.

ARL Dispute Resolution: When the ARL denies the occupational origin of an injury or disputes the PCL percentage determined by the Junta Regional, the worker files a formal reclamation (recurso de reposición) against the ARL's resolution. This request document serves as the formal written claim initiating the internal dispute process, which may escalate to the Junta Nacional de Calificación de Invalidez or labor court proceedings before the Juzgado Laboral del Circuito.

What to Include in Your ARL Occupational Accident Indemnification Request Colombia

A complete ARL Occupational Accident Indemnification Request Colombia under Ley 1562 de 2012 and Ley 776 de 2002 must include the following essential elements.

Employer Information: Legal name (razón social), NIT, business address, and the ARL where the worker is enrolled, with the risk class and CIIU code assigned to the employer's activities under Decreto 1072 de 2015.

Accident Description: Date, time, and place of the workplace accident; description of the accident circumstances; nature and location of the injury on the body; the FURAT (Formulario Único de Reporte de Accidentes de Trabajo) number filed by the employer with the ARL within two business days of the accident under Decreto 1072 de 2015 Article 2.2.4.6.33; and the ARL case reference number (número de radicado de siniestro).

Junta de Calificación Dictamen: Certified copy of the dictamen issued by the Junta Regional de Calificación de Invalidez confirming: PCL percentage (between 5% and 49.99%); occupational origin (origen laboral); the date of consolidation (fecha de consolidación de la lesión) indicating the injury has reached maximum medical improvement; and the diagnostic codes under the international classification system.

IPP Indemnification Calculation Basis: The worker's salary (salario base) as of the date of the accident — verified through pay stubs (colillas de pago) or the PILA records — used as the basis for calculating the IPP lump sum under Article 5 of Ley 776 de 2002 (up to 24 monthly salaries for 49.99% PCL, scaled proportionally).

Medical and Rehabilitation Evidence: Medical records, specialist reports, rehabilitation progress notes, and any prior ARL-authorized treatments documenting the course of treatment and residual disability following the accident.

Declarations and Authorization: Sworn declaration of accuracy; authorization for the ARL to access medical records and PILA contribution data; and acknowledgment of the worker's right to file a tutela action if the ARL fails to resolve the claim within the regulatory timeframe.
