| Summary: | A plâtrier was injured in an accident at work. The accident insurance institution (CNAA) refused to recognize the accident as an industrial accident. The Federal Court proved the insured person right and determined that the accident was an industrial accident due to the insured person's operational activity. Here is the summary in individual sentences: A plâtrier was injured in an accident at work. The accident insurance institution (CNAA) refused to recognize the accident as an industrial accident. The insured filed a lawsuit in the Federal Court. The federal court proved the insured person right. The Federal Court established that the accident was an industrial accident due to the operational activity of the insured. More details: The insured had fallen while retrieving plates from a shelf. The CNAA argued that the accident took place outside the company due to the activity of the insured. The Federal Court found that the insured had retrieved the plates in the course of his business activities. The Federal Court ruled that the accident was therefore an industrial accident. Legal consequences: The CNAA must cover the costs for the treatment and rehabilitation of the insured. Remark: The judgment is important because it confirms that accidents that take place outside the company can also be recognized as industrial accidents if they are related to the company's activities. |
