The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for maternity compensation against the employer following a workplace accident. The employee, who was pregnant, slipped and fell at her job, resulting in a threatened miscarission diagnosed on the same day. The court ruled that the threatened miscarission was not a direct consequence of the accident, thereby rejecting the causal link required for compensation.
