The article deals with a legal dispute regarding the recognition of a work accident. An employee of a funeral home was hit and injured at a gas station on his way back from a work appointment. The accident insurance rejected the recognition of the accident as a work accident, as refueling was considered a private action. The social court dismissed the employee's lawsuit, but the Higher Social Court of Rhineland-Palatinate ruled in his favor and recognized the accident as a work accident. The plaintiff had objective reasons to believe that refueling was necessary, and the gas station was located on his route to work. The insurance coverage for maintaining and renewing work equipment does not apply, as the plaintiff's private car was not primarily used for work purposes. [Extracted from the article]

The article deals with various legal disputes related to accident insurance.

The article deals with a legal dispute between a health insurance company and an accident insurance association (BG) regarding the reimbursement of treatment costs and sick pay. An insured person injured themselves on the way to the post mailbox when they were trying to submit a certificate of incapacity for work to their employer. The Federal Social Court decided that the BG is responsible for the reimbursement of the costs, as it is a consequence of a work accident. The article also discusses the requirements for a work accident and the obligations of employees regarding the submission of a certificate of incapacity for work. It emphasizes that the obligation to inform about the existence and duration of incapacity for work is closely related to the employee's job and is independent of whether it leads to disruptions in the company's operations or not.

The article deals with a legal dispute regarding a work accident and the question of the plaintiff's insurance. The Social Accident Insurance Institution (VBG) rejected compensation payments, as they believed that there was no insurance coverage. The Social Court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, but the Accident Insurance Provider (UVB) filed an appeal. It concerns the rejection of the recognition of a work accident and the lawsuit against the defendant's decision. The plaintiff withdrew a lawsuit, which made the defendant's decision legally binding. It is also discussed whether pension recipients from the Farmers' Pension Scheme are eligible to vote. The Federal Social Court has ruled that they are neither actively nor passively eligible to vote in the group of self-employed individuals without external employees if they do not receive an injured person's pension or are no longer insured.

The article deals with the case of a plaintiff who, after a traffic accident, applied for the costs of installing a new heating system in his jointly occupied residential building with his parents. The social court dismissed the claim, as the replacement of the heating system was considered a modernization measure. The plaintiff appealed and argued that the system had to be accessible for disabled individuals so that he could operate it. However, the appeal was rejected because the replacement of the heating system was already necessary due to the expired operating permit. The Joint Guidelines of the Associations of Accident Insurance Institutions regulate the entitlement of insured persons to various benefits, including medical treatment, rehabilitation, participation in work life, and social participation. Housing assistance is granted when an adaptation of the living space is necessary due to health impairments. The guidelines bind the administration, but not the courts. The adaptation of a residence includes structural measures such as the installation of ramps, widening of doors, and installation of handrails. The plaintiff is not entitled to housing assistance as there is no insurance-related need for an adaptation of the living space. The replacement of the heating system is not a measure for the disabled-friendly adaptation of the living space. The heating of a building is the responsibility of the owner. The second part of the text deals with a case of meniscus damage in a professional football player. It is stated that in professional football players, no specific localization of the damage can be demanded due to the extreme strains. It is also argued that the damage cannot be attributed to a single accident event, but to a sum of minor injuries. The plaintiff in the case is mentioned as an example of a primary meniscopathy in the left knee joint, which is attributed to the occupational strain as a professional football player. The requirements for the recognition of an occupationally related illness are considered fulfilled. [Extracted from the article]

The social court dismissed the claim, but the appellate court ruled in favor of the plaintiff. In both cases, various legal principles and principles related to accident insurance are explained.

The article deals with a case before the State Social Court of Saxony-Anhalt, in which a plaintiff applies for recognition of an occupational disease. The plaintiff was active in triathlon and worked professionally and voluntarily outdoors. The prevention department of the defendant rejected the recognition of the occupational disease because the minimum exposure was not met. The social court dismissed the lawsuit, and the plaintiff filed an appeal. However, the appeal was rejected because the defendant's rejection notice is lawful and does not disadvantage the plaintiff. The article deals with a legal dispute involving a student who had an accident during a school break in a park. The school refused to recognize the incident as a school accident. The plaintiff argues that insurance coverage should also apply outside the school premises. However, the court decided that staying in the park is not part of the insured activity as a student and therefore does not constitute a work-related accident. The plaintiff is not entitled to benefits from statutory accident insurance. [Extracted from the article]

The article deals with various legal disputes related to insurance coverage in statutory accident insurance. It discusses whether certain accidents should be recognized as work-related accidents and whether certain activities, such as participating in a football tournament or measures for occupational health promotion, are covered by insurance. The courts decide in each case whether there is an internal and material connection to the insured activity and whether the requirements for insurance coverage are met. It is emphasized that the objectified tendency of action and the operational purpose are decisive. [Extracted from the article]

The article deals with a legal dispute regarding the rejection of benefits for the future within the scope of accident insurance. It is stated that a mere determination of unlawfulness is not sufficient to deny future benefits. The article also mentions the case of a plaintiff who was denied benefits for hearing aids, even though he had been recognized as having occupational hearing loss. Furthermore, a court case is reported in which the issue of insurance obligation during trial work is discussed. The court ruled that the person was not insured as an employee, but was covered by insurance during the visit to the company and suffered a work-related accident. [Extracted from the article]

The article deals with various cases before the State Social Court of Hesse, which concern the assessment of the reduction of earning capacity (MdE) in the event of accident consequences and the compulsory insurance of managing directors in statutory accident insurance. In one case, a plaintiff demands the recognition of further accident consequences and the granting of a pension due to a work accident. However, the court decides that the plaintiff has no entitlement to further accident consequences or a pension. In another case, it is determined that the loss of teeth no longer causes accident-related functional deficits, but chronic pain in the upper jaw is assessed with an MdE of 15%. It is emphasized that the MdE is determined abstractly and not based on the insured person's previous occupation. In another case, the compulsory insurance of a managing director in statutory accident insurance is discussed. The court decides that a social security employment relationship can also exist if there is no employment relationship, but rather dependent employment is exercised. It is emphasized that the labor law definition of an employee does not always correspond to the concept of an employee in social security law. The Federal Social Court (BSG) has determined that managing directors of family companies are not subject to compulsory insurance and there is no protection of legitimate expectations based on outdated case law of the BSG.

The article "Accident Insurance" deals with the determination of significant changes in accident consequences after the issuance of a lasting administrative act. A judgment of the LSG Hessen from August 30, 2022 is mentioned as a reference. The plaintiff underwent a neuro-traumatological examination after an accident, during which suspicion of an endogenous depression was diagnosed. The defendant rejected an increase in pension and determined a degree of disability (MdE) of 20%. Further examinations revealed that the pain in the thoracic spine area was the leading issue and that the complaints in the lumbar spine were unrelated to the accident. The plaintiff's claim was dismissed because the existing accident consequences continued to be assessed with a MdE of 20%. The article explains the revocation of an administrative act in accident insurance law and the causality assessment in accident insurance. It emphasizes that concrete facts must be present for the full proof of the causal chain and that a chronic pain syndrome cannot be recognized as a consequence of the accident. It is also stated that the plaintiff's current health disorders continue to be correctly assessed and have not changed since the defendant's previous decision. [Extracted from the article]

The article deals with a legal dispute regarding the exemption of shares for burden equalization and burden distribution in statutory accident insurance. It is being discussed whether non-profit corporations that operate economic businesses can be required to pay these shares. The plaintiff, a football club, was initially exempted from payment, but this exemption was later revoked. The social court and the regional social court dismissed the lawsuit, and the plaintiff's appeal was also rejected. The plaintiff is not entitled to exemption from the shares for burden equalization and burden distribution. [Extracted from the article]

The article deals with a legal dispute regarding the offsetting of a private accident insurance pension against occupational injury compensation (BSchA). The plaintiff received a basic pension and a private accident insurance pension, which the defendant considered as income to be offset. The State Social Court overturned this decision and the defendant's appeal was dismissed. The text discusses the requirements for considering a private accident insurance pension as current gross income and concludes that this payment does not constitute a significant change and cannot be regarded as a loss of income. It is also argued that the private accident insurance pension cannot be considered as income from previous employment. [Extracted from the article]

The article deals with a legal proceeding related to an accident insurance. It explains that the court can assess the likelihood of success of a lawsuit based on the available documents. It is also pointed out that the court cannot request further investigations or expert opinions if the administrative authority has rightfully rejected the request for review. The plaintiff has filed a complaint against the decision of the social court, and the regional social court has dismissed the complaint. The plaintiff has appealed, but there is no sufficient likelihood of success. The text also addresses the payment of injury benefits for certain periods and participation in a vocational rehabilitation measure. The social court has partially dismissed the lawsuit, the regional social court has amended the judgment, and the Federal Social Court has referred the case back to the regional social court. The defendant's appeal was partially justified. [Extracted from the article]

The article deals with the scope of the binding effect of a retirement order for the granting of disability retirement benefits. A former senior postal secretary in the federal service is claiming disability retirement benefits due to an armed robbery during his service. The accident insurance fund has already granted him compensation for the accident, but the defendant refused to grant disability retirement benefits. The plaintiff's lawsuit was dismissed in both instances because the retirement order does not have a binding effect on the claim for disability retirement benefits. The retirement procedure focuses exclusively on the question of permanent incapacity for service. [Extracted from the article]

The article deals with a legal dispute regarding the recognition of a work accident. A dispatcher had an accident on her way to work when she passed by a hearing aid acoustician to buy batteries for her hearing aid. The social court recognized the incident as a work accident, but the insurance company appealed, arguing that it is not a work accident. The article describes the legal requirements for a work accident according to § 8 para. 1 sentence 2 SGB VII. It is stated that the accident is not considered an insured commuting accident and that insurance coverage is void if the journey from the place of work is interrupted by private activities for more than two hours. The author argues that the trip to buy replacement batteries for a hearing aid is not covered by the statutory accident insurance, as it is an act of personal economy that is not directly related to the professional activity. It is emphasized that a close factual, local, and temporal connection is required for the preparatory action to be considered part of the insured activity. [Extracted from the article]

The article deals with a case in which it is about whether a pain condition in the area of the lower left patellar pole (patellar tendinitis) is a consequence of a work accident. Investigations have shown that patellar tendinitis is usually caused by overuse and not by external injuries. The Social Court has determined that the pain in the lower left patellar pole is recognized as a consequence of the work accident, while the lawsuit was dismissed in other points. The Higher Social Court of Hesse has decided that the activity as a consultant in press and public relations can be exercised both as dependent employment and as freelance work. The court has ruled that the plaintiff, who worked as a freelance employee for a company, is not entitled to benefits from statutory accident insurance. [Extracted from the article]

The article is about a legal dispute regarding the classification of an accident as a work-related accident. A self-employed roofer was hired by a company to work on a demolition project. While working, he fell through the roof and suffered serious injuries. The accident insurance denied recognition as a work-related accident because the roofer was self-employed. However, the plaintiff argued that he was integrated as an employee. The social court dismissed the lawsuit, but the regional social court ruled in favor of the plaintiff and demanded the recognition of the accident as a work-related accident.
