The Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's claim for loss of earnings from December 22, 1976, following a prior decision by the Accident Insurance Office. The applicant had already received state compensation for the same period, and the Accident Office noted that further court decisions would only apply from that date forward. The court ruled that since state compensation had been fully granted, the applicant could not claim additional damages from the insurance company for the same loss.

Henkilö oli joutunut pahoinpitelyn kohteeksi ja RO oli määrännyt pahoinpitelijän suorittamaan hänelle työansion menetystä 20.10.-21.12.1976 väliseltä ajalta. Tapaturmavirasto oli suorittanut hänelle rikosvahinkojen korvaamisesta valtion varoista annetun lain mukaista korvausta sanotulta ajalta ja merkinnyt päätökseensä, että päätös työansion menetyksestä 22.12.1976 alkaen annetaan sen jälkeen kun tapaturmavirastolle on toimitettu sitä koskeva tuomioistuimen päätös. Henkilö vaati VAKO:ssa korvausta työansion menetyksestä myös 22.12.1976 alkaen. Tapaturmaviraston päätöstä ei muutettu. (äänestys 2-1) I -jaosto Vertaa VAKO 116:77
