Settlement Validity Due to Undisclosed Policy Limits
Suisse · Canton de Genève (CH-GE)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe dispute concerned the enforceability of settlement agreements reached between the claimant, who alleged workplace injuries, and the defendant, where the claimant later argued the agreements were invalid due to inadequate consideration and procedural unfairness stemming from the defendant's non-disclosure of full policy limits. The court reasoned that the settlement agreements, made without full knowledge of the defendant's insurance policy limits, were not supported by adequate consideration and were thus voidable, allowing the claimant to pursue damages beyond the initially agreed-upon settlement amounts, despite the defendant's argument that the releases barred the current claims.
Regeste Legislator
Officielmalade; infirmière; cause extérieure extraordinaire; causalité; causalité naturelle; aa | Le fait de soulever un patient paraplégique pour un aide-hospitalier et de ressentir des douleurs dorsales ne constitue pas un accident. En outre, l'aggravation significative d'une affection dégénérative préexistante de la colonne vertébrale par suite d'un accident est prouvée seulement lorsque la radioscopie met en évidence un tassement subit des vertèbres ainsi que l'apparition ou l'agrandissement de lésions après un traumatisme, ce qui n'est pas le cas en l'espèce. | LPGA 8
