Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the claimant's request for accident compensation because he was not in an employment relationship with his friend when the injury occurred. Although the claimant argued for late reporting due to valid reasons, the court found the statutory reporting deadline under the Accident Insurance Act had been missed. The decision relied on the strict requirement that an employment relationship must exist at the time of the accident for coverage to apply.

Henkilö oli syyskuussa 1979 ollut raivaamassa appensa metsää ja tällöin tapaturmaisesti saanut muun muassa aivoruhjevamman. Työn vastikkeeksi oli sovittu, että hän sai itselleen kaikki kaadettavat puut polttopuiksi ja vapaa-ajan asunnon rakentamista varten. Työn oli määrä kestää 5-6 päivää. Appi, jolla ei ollut ollut tapaturmavakuutuslain mukaista vakuutusta, oli 14.4.1980 kuollut. Henkilö oli 12.11.1980 hakenut tapaturmavirastolta korvausta. Tapaturmavirasto katsoi, ettei tapaturmailmoitusta ollut tehty tapaturmavakuutuslain 41 §:ssä säädetyssä määräajassa. VAKO katsoi ilmoituksen myöhästymiseen olleen painavia syitä, mutta ettei henkilö tapaturman sattuessa ollut ollut tapaturmavakuutuslain 1 §:ssä tarkoitetussa työsuhteessa appeensa. I -jaosto KKO 27.9.1983= VAKO.
