Una trabajadora de 55 años en una cadena de montaje de una fábrica de automóviles en Vigo tuvo éxito en obtener que la Justicia reconociera su incapacidad permanente total para su trabajo habitual, después de que su solicitud fuera rechazada inicialmente por la Seguridad Social. The woman suffered from shoulder, neck, and back pains, as well as other physical limitations and an anxiety condition that prevented her from keeping up with the demands of her job. The Higher Court of Justice of Galicia (TSXG) has confirmed the worker’s right to receive a pension, considering that her ailments are incompatible with the requirements of her profession. Among them, the judges emphasize the need to work at a pace that requires assembling a vehicle every minute, a pace that the affected party could not handle due to its limitations. The resolution, dated July 2, 2026, supports the judgment that had been issued in 2025 by a Vigo court. The Social Security appealed that decision, but the Galician court has dismissed their appeal and maintains the recognition of total permanent disability. Dolores, overloads, and anxiety in the assembly line. The worker engaged in an activity that required continuous and repetitive movements, with a significant physical demand throughout the day. According to the verdict, the restrictions affected various parts of their body, including the lower back, arms, wrists, and neck. He also suffered from shoulder discomfort and numbness in two fingers. The ailments caused new overloads and pains to appear shortly after starting work. The worker also suffered from a severe case of anxiety, accompanied by a subdepressive mood, related to the physical discomfort she experienced in her position. The judges believe that the fundamental tasks of her profession generated a constant mechanical-postural overload.
